.....when you facepalm and accidentally burst a spot

when ur friends want to go swimming but u have make a lame excuse to not go and piss them off just cuz u dont wanna take ur shirt off or be seen in a bathing suit...

...When I have to go to extreme lenghts to avoid people touching my oily face.

...When people actually do touch my oily face and then are surprised by how oily it is and they try to wipe their hand off without me noticing, but I do.

...When I get a haircut and the hair falls and sticks to my oily face and I have to walk around with hair stuck to my face until I get home.

...When I go play lasertag in a dark room that makes random things light up(usually it's clothes) and the differin on my face lights up and turns my face light blue. That really happened. It would have been cool if it wasn't so lame.

... when my cute co-worker stops our flirting session to ask what's all over my cheek. I should have answered "holes of experience, baby".

Yeah... my face was glowing blue. I'm pretty sure it was the differin I had on, but it's possible that it was just my oily skin.

The awkward moment when your mom keeps looking at your face and wants to pop your pimples for you. Ah mama so gross.

...When you're playing with a pimple in class and it sprays over the work of the girl next to you, and she notices, and you are HORRIFIED.

True story.

 

when someone texts "so are we still on for tomorrow" and you avoid answering back cause all you can think about is oh shit, my chins flared up, oh shit why did I think I was ready for this

when you go to class and try to learn but cant even walk through the door without getting beat down by 7 people because you have a few new pimples

When you're at school and someone asks what field of medicine you're interested in. "Errr...dermatology..."

Most times I just say endocrinology to avoid that one.

when your face is finally clear and you go to the pharmacist to get some rash cream for your mum and the pharmacist asks how long you've had it while pointing at your face

~When little kids point and ask what the red spots are on your face.

~Wnen you were flirting with confidence with a guy...only to discover

when you got home that you had a HUGE white head right next to your mouth.

~When your Grandparents say "I don't know where she got it. No one in the family has it".

~Little sister looking at old picture of you and saying "wow, your skin use to be so clear".

..............and the list goes on........

But I'm still soooo delightfully, Me

When little kids cry,run,throw up when they see you.

When u catch sum1 lookin at u then they turn w/scared look

When u realize ur the only 1 with acne in all of ur classes

When u got dried baking soda on face walk into livin room not knowing guest r home continue walkin into kitchen and have no choice but to wash ur face of in the kitchen sink.

gosh...being 44, so many "pop" into mind...pun intended..wink wink...but anyways..so many were said...stained pillowcases and towels, being in the bathroom forever..going on a vacation with somebody new and not wanting to put out your acne products...commercials coming on..a child asking whats that spot on your face..being so embarassed to go to derms office bc breaking out so bad..picking up prescriptions...coming home from a great time and seeing the gigantic whitehead in the corner of your nose...yeesh i cld go on and on lol...loved reading all of the replies bc they really hit home, but love that people understand!

When your skin looked a lot better as a kid than it does now LOL.

Also, seeing your friend's reaction when you tell them your morning routine.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That awkward moment when your acne medication that supposedly helps with scarring gives you scars instead.

That awkward moment when you have a very vivid dream about pizza, and when your friend offers you a slice you angrily exclaim, "What if it makes me break out? I don't eat dairy and gluten anymore, remember?" Yes, this actually happened.

That awkward moment when the highlights of your day are washing your face when you wake up, and coming straight home to wash it again.

When the 13 year old girl you babysit asks you how well Proactiv works and all you have to do is wave your hand magically over your face.

When your only real boyfriend who "loves and accepts you for who you are" asks you to double check with your dermatologist that acne scars are permanent. (to which you ask him whether man-part size is also?)

When your face is peeling badly and people ask you if you skin is shaving itself.

(to which you ask him whether man-part size is also?)

you sit down next to your friend and realize you forgot to sit with your "clear" side facing them.

when you are wearing makeup to cover the acne on your chin, take a swig of water or whatever beverage and miss your mouth...and then it spills down and ruins your makeup and you are too embarrassed to just wipe it off so you run to the bathroom and try to dab it but it looks like crap.
