Why Me?
Oh My....THIS is not good.....
Those were the exact words I just muttered as I glanced in the bathroom mirror.
Yeah, and I'm thinking at this point it may just be the understatement, for me, of the year.
You see....today is a big day. Corporate office. Important prospects. Meetings. HUGE opportunities.
So I took a little extra time in my "preparations". I washed my face and decided to use my favorite mask, just to give my skin a little "pick me up". I've been using this stuff for YEARS and I just love the way my skin feels when I'm done.
So I scrub my face and apply the mask. After the appropriate time has passed I remove said mask and apply moisturizer.
My face is beet red. RED. I'm talkin' fire engine red.
Not really a good look for me, can I tell you?
Did I mention the skin is actually HOT to the touch? Yeah, well, it is.....
So....I'm gonna go outside on the porch and have a smoke. Hopefully the cool air will do me some good.
Then.....I'll get dressed in my super chic suit and finally....I'll go back to that damned mirror. I can only hope that I no longer look like some teenager busted behind the bleachers and can proceed with my make-up.
Cause otherwise....yeah, not good. Not good at all.......
UPDATE: Ok. We're down to a "blushing pink". I can work with this. Maybe it'll give me that "innocent" look.
Yeah, I don't really think so either, but go with me on this one, would ya!

Posted by: Contagion at November 27, 2007 08:56 AMOn important days like that, I am usually beset with a HUGE HONKIN' ZIT, predictably in the middle of my forehead, tip of my nose, or in a prominent spot on one of my cheeks. Were it one of my ass cheeks, it would be concealable, but nooooo.
Posted by: Erica at November 27, 2007 09:39 AMOuch! Wonder why it made your face red NOW? The scrubbing beforehand? It should go away in an hour or so, though...
Good luck today! :D
Posted by: pam at November 27, 2007 10:57 AMgood luck sweetie.
blame sun burn?
See, and *this* is why I am gifting that sea salt scrub to my mother... I cannot be trusted with beauty products.

Posted by: Jerry at November 27, 2007 08:09 PMI'd ditch the current supply of the mask. It's either bad or you have developed an allergic reaction to it. Do you normally scrub before applying it?
I'm glad the redness is going down. If it hadn't, I would suggest some Benadryl.
