After years of fighting dark
spots and acne, if I can even call it that, I have finally decided to end this
never ending phase of puberty. Hell, I am well beyond the puberty stage but
these pimples do not seem to agree. My relationship with pimples honestly needs
to end. In order for this to happen, I had to seek professional council and by
that I mean a mean ass dermatologist.
Some of you are probably
thinking "has she completely lost it?" Before you ride off into the
sunset on the judgment horse first hear me out. All my life, I've been
surrounded by people with flawless skin. Yes, it was a little intimidating at
first but I figured; what the hek, it’s only a passing phase. Boy was I wrong!
Name an acne over the counter product and I have used it. Well at the time I
thought, a wash and cream in the morning, afternoon and evening will do the
trick. And I did used them all expecting to look as good as new. Perhaps not
immediately (although at first) but after a few weeks or months. That was some
12 odd years ago. And don't you dare start making pointless calculations about
my age. It will not solve my acne problem nor will it help my mental state
right now. All you need to know is that I have seen many sunrises and sunsets
and lived through acne filled days. Let us not lose focus please.
Anyway, after years of going
through different products, both cheap and expensive (by that I mean equal to
two denims from Mr P,) I have decided to throw in the towel and seek
professional help. By the way, the pharmacies pretended to not remember who I
was when I went back to get my money back. The first thing I did after
receiving my new best friend aka face cream from the dermatologist, was to
march straight to my laptop, can you say GOOGLE anybody? Oh Yes I did it. Of cos
I got it from a professional but Google beats that professional who probably
spent years reading about pimples all their life. In all honesty, I was worried
about the things the Doctor 'forgot' to mention such as side effects of using
this magic cream. Boy, did I regret reading about the side effects. I mean they
were more than China's 2012 population (Ok maybe I'm being a bit dramatic) but
they were enough to make me start second guessing my decision to visit a
professional.
However, when acne and desperation
make up a sentence to describe your current state, you sort of suck it up and
visualise your future flawless skin. Hek, even Justin Bieber suffers from acne.
At my age, how am I to share a commonality with 18 year old Justin Bieber??
Needless to say, all that worry
was for nothing because the only side effects I've been experiencing so far are
just dried lips. The Sahara desert currently has nothing on my lips. My face
has also started giving the Niger Delta a run for their money. Perhaps
Knowledge Katti should consider mining for oil on my face instead.
Eish! The struggle for flawless
skin continues.
