Hormones Driving Your Skin Crazy?

The last time I was at Gracie's, I found one of those nasty hormonal zits forming on my chin. You know the kind -- I call them deep-underground-oil-wellers -- zits so big and deep that they are anchored to bone. They are barely visible when you get them, but boy, do you know they are there because they are angry and sore! And these zits which may take days or weeks to explode the surface of your skin. Desperate for relief, I discover I have nothing packed in my makeup kit! What am I going to do?

I rummage through her medicine cabinet (because we are friends like that), and I find no facial zit creams at all. I was about to give up and ask her where her kit was, when I spotted at bottle of Wayne's Whoop-Ass Healing Balm. Selling itself as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic (all of which I was looking for), I looked closely at the label.

Since I understand skin care & cosmetic ingredient labels, I read the back of the bottle. Milk Thistle Extract, Bilberry Extract, and Resveratrol for healing; Azulene and Aloe Vera for soothing and calming; Bisabolol as an anti-inflammatory; Totarol as an antibacterial ingredient; and Red Clover Extract for antiseptic properties. I nodded my head in approval; these ingredients ought to do the trick.

So without much further thought, I opened the bottle, and put a dab of the product on my finger tip. It was green. Hmmm, was this going to be a problem? Figuring I could wash it all off (and desperate as hell -- and in no mood to pussyfoot around) I decided to give the green balm a whirl.

My desperation turns to delight, for the balm virtually disappears into the skin, feeling cool, but very soothing! It does seem to leave a slight tint which helps reduce redness which makes it most excellent for day time use. After one application, the zit was not sore, so I didn't think about my chin until evening, when I was washing my face before bed. I studied my chin in the mirror and discovered that it seemed to have become smaller in size. Very hopeful, I put another dab on before bed.

The next morning, the zit was much smaller -- it could only be found by running a finger over the area! I put another dab on, and then another at night. The next morning, there was no sign of it at all -- it was gone!

Since that time at Gracie's I have purchased my own tube of the healing balm. I have used it on breakouts nearly everywhere on my body -- not only on my face an neck, but on those breakouts on my breasts (women with larger breasts know what I am talking about -- all that rubbing of underwires can be most aggravating to tender skin); breakout from shaving/ingorwn hairs at the bikini line; and yes, even on my butt (no lady likes to admit to it... but we do get pimples there :sigh:). Even those pimples which have come to a head and broken open are soothed and healed. Everywhere I've used Wayne's Whoop-Ass Healing Balm it has soothed and removed the blemishes!

What makes this balm one of my favorite blemish banishing products ever is this:

* it soothes and comforts pissed off skin
* it reduces the redness
* makeup glides on over it
* it doesn't stink or have a strong smell
* it shrinks and heals zits
* it doesn't overdry or burn you skin
