Can you believe I woke up with a pimple on the tip of my nose this morning. And like a good "teenager" I squeezed it. Well, that just made it worse and got a scab and red. I tried to hide it with my BE bisque but it did not cover very good. I had to go to the mall today for some last minute items and felt terrible and knew everyone who helped me today saw this red thing on the tip of my nose.

You were just doing your best Rudolph impression! Wink

If you have any tea tree oil or some kind of mask, try using one of them overnight and hopefully it'll be better in the morning.

I know we all think that we're the object of strangers attention when we're out in public with a pimple or blemish on our faces, but in all honesty, nobody really cares all that much except us and it took me a long time to come to that realization.

I have it on good authority that they WILL disappear by our 80s. I am waiting for the miracle of it.

Burt's Bees has a wonderful blemish stick that is a liquid that dries it up fast. Neutrogena has a skin color blemish sticks that also dries it up & covers and comes in different shades. I use both for milia. Yes, it's hard to believe we still get zits. I have not had regular zit but one under the skin kind & the milia. Never ending.

Do they work to make milias disappear or just to cover them? I have a milia on my eyelid that is so annoying.

Just one?! You're lucky, I usually go to bed with wrinkle and zit cream! It's just not right.

Welcome to my world! haha! At 65, I still get a big zit or two. What can you do? Just go on about your day as usual. Like someone else said, probably the only person who notices is YOU.
