Just so you know, the kittens are all gone now.  I’ll miss the fun they brought, but I’m glad not to be itchy and rashy!!!

Back to my blog topic…..

I have some “rules” when it comes to acne cream.  These rules are a few things that I try to not do ever.

Firstly, I don’t do “tinted” cream.  Each human has their own skin tone.  When it comes to “tinting” one size (or tint) most certainly does not fit all.  When a fair skinned person uses a dark cream, they can end up exacerbating the appearance of the blemish.  When a darker skin person uses a lightly tinted cream they end up looking like they have chicken pocks.  Tinted creams create a silly appearance.  I prefer to use the acne cream then use a bit of cover up makeup over the blemish.

My second rule I learned the hard way.  I don’t use creams with a high concentration of a potentially bleaching substance.  I ended up bleaching out my pillow case.  And I ended up bleaching out my pajamas because I put some of the cream on my back/neck/chest area. Also I found that these creams don’t really work as well as the other creams, and to make matters worse, bleaching my skin makes it have an uneven tone which can make the blemishes even more noticeable.  I feel there is no winning with a bleach based cream.
