How am I using my son’s zit cream? I am forty-fucking-one and using zit cream. As a teen and a 20-something, I thought one of the few pluses of aging would be the zits going away. But like thinking maternity leave would be a vacation, it was all just a cruel joke. I have adult acne and it blows.
I know zero meth users and have never smoked a cigarette in my life but right now I feel like my skin is on par with a drug user. Like the ones where you see their mug shot at the beginning of their drug career then 8 years later, they look like a doped up senior citizen but really they are 25. Yeah, that’s my skin right now.
My most recent zits reminded me of the Hawaiian Islands though I’ve never been. Let’s compare and contrast, shall we?

Occasionally, I get a zit ON a wrinkle. Why? Why??? So what do I treat? The zit? The wrinkle? How do I dry out a zit yet moisturizer the wrinkle? I guess I should have seen this coming as I didn’t know adult acne was a thing till…well….I was a seasoned adult. And I just thought of something, when I’m a senior citizen, will I have zits, wrinkles and age spots? OMG!
You can tell that I’m adjusting to this aging thing nicely. I should probably be in a straight jacket and padded room by the time I’m 55.
Brilliant. Life just isn’t bloody fair sometimes. Are you going to refer to it (imperceptible wrinkle) as ‘the fault line’ from now on?
Omg! That’s a brilliant name! The fault line can reside next to Mount Pussmore!
??? hilarious
UGH! I am totally breaking out right now and I have no idea why! It sucks!!!!! Usually I get pimples around my lady time but that’s not now and I’m so annoyed.
That’s why I have zits and I hate it!
Being a woman sucks so much sometimes
Yes….Yes it does!
Have you changed your diet? I found out rice gives me really deep cysts on my chin. Try watching what your eating (no, it’s not oil and chocolate, i have a friend who breaks out to cucumber and melon stuff)…
Rice gives you cysts? I’m literally thinking back on the days I eat rice if I break out. That’s interesting. Usually the breakouts are around when Aunt Flo visits. Then the break outs are small. I have been getting more acne on my upper back instead of my face as I age. I have known that. It’s like the gravity is pulling down the zits too. 🙂
It’s really weird, but about 2–3 days after rice it’s common I will get deep painful zits but they will stay forever and grow , then become large ugly red but still deep so hard to get out pimples… cystic. Fun. If it’s happening a lot I suggest tracking your food, or skin care because maybe you’re finding a sensitivity you didn’t know about.
