Hail to the Hero

I am not sure whether it is the weather, PMS, stress or an evil combination of all 3 that has led my skin to freak out like a teenage girl's. I am religious about my skin care routine and have always been blessed with good skin except for the occasional eruption. Well, the occasional eruption has become eruptions, just in time for a weekend getaway to Boston with my husband to visit friends we haven't seen in a while.

What's a girl to do?

Enter Mario Badescu Drying Lotion.

I remember when I was introduced to the little glass bottle, with that potent smell and an interesting liquid make up. The pink sediment on the bottom and the yellowish liquid on top confused me at first.

Then I learned the proper usage. Take a Q-Tip, put it into the bottle all the way down into the sediment and lift it out. Dab the mixture onto the blemish and feel the sting. The sting is actually my favorite part because it really does feel like the product is working to rid the skin of the bacteria build-up in the pore.

And, now every time I get one of those unattractive, painful little (or big) things I hail to the hero, an old standby. No matter what else I try, I continuously return to the power of the pink.

So, tonight I will be going to bed with a face speckled with pink polka dots. Now, ain't that sexy!
