Preparation H Saved My Face!!!

I know the title of this posting seems like it should be a typo or some form of mock-foolery but it is not. Preparation H has saved my face. How? -you ask. I will let you in on this beauty secret that has transformed my skin. (This is not for the faint of heart, you must be brave and set aside all self pride to partake in the experience I am about to describe, proceed with caution.)

History:

As many of you who have known me through the years can attest to, I did not have acne as a teenager. Of course I had the occasional blemish but not acne. Along comes 22 years of age and my face decides that was the time to acquire adult acne. It wasn't terribly noticeable but I had very painful deep blemishes as well as tiny bumps all over my forehead. Being that it was the year before my wedding I went on a campaign to rid my skin of this evil. I tried EVERYTHING. With a facial regimen that included a hydrogen peroxide cream I was able to get it under control by the wedding. Just after the wedding it kicked back up until I went to a aesthetician over a year ago and got a very expensive regimen to use, which also included hydrogen peroxide.

Current Issue:

Pregnancy and cold weather has done a number on my skin in the past month or so. The big, painful blemishes came back, as did the bumps on my forehead. The facial regimen I had been using for over a year was drying out my skin causing peeling and all sorts of issues. I had become convinced that my body was now dependent on hydrogen peroxide to keep my face somewhat under control and now that wasn't even working.

The Preparation H Answer:

On Friday I was complaining to my coworkers about my skin. I had a huge zit in my eyebrow that hurt when I made facial expressions (this was very concerning because my teacher stare was very painful) and another on my lip. Lauren, a fellow fifth grade teacher, said I need Preparation H. I was confused but listened intently. Apparently she read about it in Seventeen magazine way back in high school and used it ever since. I figured I had nothing to lose so Kevin and I picked some up and I tried it on Friday night. THE BLEMISHES ARE GONE!!!!

So, the moral of the story is that butt paste can save your face.
