Pimples? No way!
October 24, 2007
Take this… You have been preparing for this big day of your life for weeks. You’ve got a pair of new shoes to put on, a nice dress, complete set of accesories, everything… And then a day right before this much awaited occasion, you woke up and discovered a tiny red bump starting to appear on the edge of your upper lip–you’ve got a pimple!
What a no-no… especially when it appears in not just any part of your face but right on top of your nose, in between your brows or the worst part where i would want my pimple to be–at the edge of either lips. It’s so irritating to have a pimple appearing in the most exposed part of your face because you can really feel that anyone you’ve come to interact with will be staring in that pinky-patsy little pimple while talking to you.


The safeguard thing as a preventive cure against pimple was actually a tip from beauty queen Abegail Arenas. She had a talk one time in our company on corporate grooming and one of her tips was to use safeguard soap in the area where a pimple is starting to occur. I have tried it several times and it never fails, really! Just be careful not to use the soap for your entire face since it may cause dryness in skin, as we all know our face has more sensitive skin layer compared to the rest of our body. That’s why there are special facial cleansers that we should use to wash our face and not the regular bathroom soap that we use for our body. So use only safeguard IN THE AREA WHERE THE PIMPLE IS to help stimulate the drying process.
Having been so confident with my flawless face since i have safeguard to protect me against pimple, i got this so-wrong-timing pimple discovery when I was in the office, far from home where my safeguard is. Too bad since I would be attending a very special occasion in a few days thereafter. When I went to the comfort room for my after-lunch brushing, I saw it… a tiny-reddish bump at the corner of my lips. I was a little panicky already when an officemate handed me his (yep, a HE) clearasil overnight pimple treatment. You will just have to apply it right on top of the pimple, it will dry shortly after that like glue. After an hour or so, you can remove it as if peeling off your top-layer skin (not painful, really, just like removing dried glue when you apply it using your finger). And presto, the pimple filling goes with it already and nothing would remain on your face after 2 to 3 more times of applying it.
