NO, I have pimples!!<- solved - NOW, talking about my date for tomorrow :D

It has been sooo many years since I've had pimples, & now that I have a date tomorrow, I have 2 on my chin!!! *stomps feet in anger, then giggles*

I put polysporn on them last night as I was unknowlingly picking at them :rolleyes: They healed right away, but now they are a scab :(

Is there any cheap stuff that'll stop more from coming? Think polysporn will keep them at bay?
I know why I'm getting them again & there is nothing I can do now, as I'm allergic to my old stuff (the pill).


Thanks for the help guys :)

benzoyl peroxide....

When you have spots, you can get rid of them by putting toothpaste on them. It dries out the spot. Strange but true!:eek: ;) To stop spots from coming I have these special wipes which you use daily and they're pretty good:)

hehe toothpaste :)

Are the wipes like a cloth or a small round pad? I use to use those round pads many years ago & they were good at keeping blackheads away. If they work well for pimples too, I might get that.

Just remember if you use toothpaste to use actual paste and not the gel kind! I had a bit of an acne problem when I was about 13-14, and tried lots of stuff - clean and clear products seemed to work well for me.

thats the brand!! Clean & Clear ! I'll go shopping tonight :)

Clean and clear has the benzoyl Peroxide 10%, you could buy any generic brand and get the same results for half the money.

Sweet!! thats those round pads right??

No, benzoyl peroxide is just an ingredient found in acne products, it could be in those round things, in creme or gel. I just buy generic at kaiser for five dollars for a big tube for my daughter and her pimples cleared right up.

Just look for that in the ingredient, it may be harsh on your skin at first, my daughter just uses it once a day. You could also try 5% if your skin is sensitive.

uh oh heheh

We're not really going anywhere. Hes fresh from Uni & he just got a crappy little degrading job the otherday.. Today he has an interview & its a much better job & better paying too... Since were both broke, hes gonna cook me a steak dinner (FAR cheaper then going out for steak) :D But first we're going for a walk in a nearby park, so we can have a nice long chat. Then dinner, then were gonna watch a movie on his 50" HDTV !!!

If all goes well on sat (which we know it will), then he'll be coming to my place & I'll be cooking him dinner, go for a walk in the park near my place (it has a mini lake) & then watch tv on my 13" old hunk of junk hehe.

Our goal is to build a friendship foundation & then work on the relationship part if it makes it that far (hope it does, hes super sweet!!)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:D

:D

I'll go to his place on Sat & he'll come to my place on Sun. because its a 90+ bus ride & I can't do that more then twice on a weekend!!!

When I get my bike from my ex (its in the garage with flat tires), I'll bike to his place & it'll take me about 30 mins to bike there.. hes only 20km away! its just we have to go SOOOOO far out of the way, as we're in diferent cities & there is only the 1 bus to join our cities! (neither of us has a car hehe).

The man is scary tall compaired to me.. Hes 11" taller! :eek:
Our b-day are 7 days apart, which makes us 4yrs apart. Hes a good christian man :)

I use toothpaste, the only problem is you have to have it on for quite a few hours lol.

Jess he sounds lovely, isn't it typical never a pimple in sight until something important comes up, happens to me all the time, especially those big red nose ones, ok in summer looks like sunburnt nose, but sure enough something special comes up i get one, I have never found the magical cure for pimples myself, but find that clearasil works reasonably well , but nothing that is an overnight fix, anyone tried the garnier pen that is supposed to clear them up?

Anyhow good luck with clearing up the zits before the date and use a concealer and i bet he won't even notice them, he will be too busy gazing into your eyes he he. :)

its been 7yrs since I've gotten a pimple, I know I'm just cursed hehe

The polysporn did a great job!! I couldn't help it, but I picked off the scab & its healed !! 1 is pretty much gone & the other is not far behind!! YAY!!! I'll have a 1/2 decent face for tomorrow :)

I spent 30 mins picking out a shirt & pants.. well couldn't find any jeans that fit right, so I'm wearing my jean shorts & they fit just the way I like them (not making my belly pop out too much). I have my nice striped green sleveless shirt & I'll wear a sweater ontop :)

What does going steady mean??!!

Well it is not a term we use much in NZ, but i believe it means you are pretty darn serious with one another.

I've never heard it used back home, so I wasn't too sure of the meaning

"Going steady" means not dating anyone else.
