Chocolate Binge

I have a confession to make:  I ate 6 small squares of delicious milk chocolate last night.  I ate 3 pieces in bed!  Most of you would say that 6 pieces don't qualify as a binge but as much as I love it, I have been staying away from chocolate.  I love chocolate but chocolate doesn't love me.  My complexion reacts in a not so pleasant way.  It seeks its revenge on me by blessing me with the outbreak of those usually in puberty.  I don't get the "cute" little whiteheads, if you can call them cute, but I get the big, angry, volcano like pimples.  I swear that my skin has never been as "bad" as it is now.  I had lovely, dewy, glowing skin when I was younger (though maybe I am romanticizing it) but now post-kids, in my late 20's I feel like a teenager with acne.  What is the secret to fabulous looking, smooth, pimple-free skin?

I can tell you what hasn't worked.

1.  Pro-Active doesn't work.  Oh it works if you want to bleach your sheets or completely dry your face out so that you have red, flaking patches, but it doesn't clear my skin up.  I don't look like any of their spokeswomen.

2.  Acne-Free doesn't work.  It's the "knockoff" version of Pro-Active.  If you would like the same results as above feel free to purchase it.

3.  Random concoctions of different face washes and masks.  Maybe if I use this one in the morning and this one at night or visa-versa it will fix it.  Maybe I should be a chemist.

I have no idea what will give me great skin!  I probably should just go to the dermatologist, though sometimes I don't think that they even know what will clear your skin and then you end up with even more chemicals on your face and your sheets.  "Call the dermatologist" has been on my to-do list since the middle of summer, maybe I should actually follow through and do it.

Back to the chocolate though...boy how I love it!  Just thinking about it makes my mouth salivate in anticipation.  I am not a chocoholic, just a chocolate lover.  Even the word chocolate is fun to use.  "My hair is usually a chocolate brown." or "Don't you just love that rich chocolate colored sweater, I have to have one."  Mmmmm. Maybe I should just make a chocolate mask for my face.

P.S. Just in case you see me this week please don't say anything about the newly emerging pimples.  I can already feel them growing.
