The Whitehead Blues
So, you have finally begun a relationship with someone whose attention you have been trying to get for months. Actually, things have taken a sudden turn for the better and you have managed to weasle a short kissing session out of Mr. or Mrs. Right when you notice they aren’t exactly kissing you with the passion you had so hoped would manifest as soon as their lips hit yours. After several well-placed, yet slightly emotionless kisses from “the one,” you come up for some air and notice a huge whitehead has moved in next door to your otherwise attractive nose.
Makes sense, you say to yourself, as the euphoria of your new relationship has no doubt triggered some new hormonal activity, and you forgot to wash your face the night before. Your diet has also gone by the wayside as you have been frequenting more fried food places to be able to spend time with your new catch.
Whiteheads are the result of your body fighting bacteria that has started to build up in your pores. Dirt gets trapped and mixes with the naturally occurring oil in your skin, which is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. The best way to prevent a whitehead is to wash your face twice a day and to make sure that you avoid eating unhealthy foods. Drink plenty of fluids and get enough rest, as this is also important for overall health.
If you are like me and don’t have a lot of energy in the evening, you can use facial cleansing wipes. They actually work very well, as you can see the dirt and makeup on the towlette, and can tell when your face is truly clean. Each person has their own skin type, so be sure to get the facial cleanser that is best for you. Never use anything harsh on your face as it can cause your skin to overproduce oil to replace what was lost, in turn causing more problems.
As you can see, keeping your skin clean, eating and drinking healthily, and getting enough rest can surely benefit you and your love life!
