i knew this day would inevitably come. i got a pimple.
days 14-21 on somme institute’s 5-step regimen mdt5 are over and done. and for the most part, it was a good week. except for that one darn zit.
let me explain.
days 14-15: my skin seriously has never looked this good before. and it’s not just me noticing. one of the cutie sales girls at ulta complimented me on my radiant complexion {it’s giving my bronzer a run for its money}. and with this new skin revelation, also came a bit of sadness. it’s truly a bittersweet time, as i’ve realized that my tub of transport will not carry me through all four weeks {there are only 50 pads per container, and at two pads a day, well, you do the math}. i’ve since taken its application down to once daily {in the evening}. it’ll do, i guess. sadly, a-bomb is also starting to dwindle. as i’ve said before, i treat a-bomb like i do cash. i savor it. hoard it. guard it with my life. case and point: i mis-handled my morning dosage and <splat> it went straight onto the floor. don’t you worry though, in one fell swoop i kneeled down, scooped up the mess and applied it to my face {disclaimer: i assure you my bathroom is quite clean}. i’m telling you – liquid gold.

days 16-21: dum dum dum. the king kong of all pimples has risen on my cheek. what the??! ok, i get it. this 5-step regimen is not the end-all, be-all, cure-all. impurities are still going to “pop up”. so instead of implementing my usual, aggressive tactic {read: pop it}, i decided to leave it alone. i gave it a little more transport attention, reminded myself not to touch my face, and for the most part {except for that one little squeeze}, i left it alone. after five days, it’s pretty much gone. my pimple has relegated itself to a little, dark spot on my cheek. 1000x better than the monster it introduced itself as! you may ask yourself, will this change her popping philosophy for good? my answer? only time will tell. so in other news, i have become quite the fan of serum. i believe that it’s responsible for the {initial} fading of my dark spots. i don’t want to jinx anything, but my uneven complexion {yes the same uneven complexion i whined about last week} is starting to appear more… even. stay tuned.
i only have a week left of this regimen <sniffle>. and to date, am more impressed with its results than any other system i’ve tried. it’s pretty extraordinary.
’till next time.
