Today, I looked at my face to see if my new age-defying lotion was working. My skin does look younger, it's covered in pimples like a teenager's. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that at 20 years old I already have noticeable wrinkles around my eyes. But to balance it out, my chronic acne keeps me looking youthful. FML
Today, I’m at that glorious age where I have to pull apart my wrinkles to get at the zits hiding inside. FML
Today, I realized that the tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. FML
Today, I discovered the effect the cream has that my mom gave me. It was for my acne and it worked, in a way. Instead of having a lot of little pimples, I now just have a few gigantic ones. FML
Today, I've got so many pimples in my face, I could actually fill a bucket with my own pus. I'm 25. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Today, I was excited that my new skin care regimen seemed to be paying off. I told my husband of 35 years about it and asked him if I "looked good". He looked me over as if I were a stalled engine and said, "You look less stressed. That's good, but I mean… You still look like yourself." FML
Today, my new prescription medicine for my chronic acne did in fact work. It worked by inflaming the skin around my zits so that they blended in. FML
Today, I was putting on cream and my son asked what it was for. I told him it was to keep the wrinkles away. He looked at me closely and replied, "I don't think it's working." FML
Today, I'm now able to put my acne cream on my face without having to look in the mirror, because I've memorized the crater and trench-filled war zone that is my acne-riddled face. FML

Doesn't it say on the label to apply in small sections first before fully using it? Some people are allergic to certain products. Always try a new product before using it often.

Women look the most beautiful with no make-up at all. There is a unending beauty with the natural gift a woman was born with.

Age-defying makeup? Are you one of those middle-aged women who pours themselves into a tube top and designer jeans that a sixteen year old would wear?

I don't see anything wrong with someone trying to look their best. Also, the the above poster who said their mom thinks their acne makes them humble, no offence your mom is an idiot. Yeah I don't believe in piling make-up on every time I go out, but I do believe in putting in some effort to look nice.

Well, well well... there are some bitchy comments here, aren't there?! I do feel your pain, OP. I've used age-defying lotions since I was 19 because I have extremely dry skin on my face. I used one type (L'Oreal) and broke out in some sort of pre-menstrual style rash! My advice is to test a bit of skin under the jaw first, or at the temple where your hair could hide it, then wait 72 hours after applying it as you would normally before even thinking of applying it anywhere else. And don't use makeup to cover that breakout!

Beware the dreams of avarice. Also, the fountain of youth is a myth. So you're getting older. I am too. Welcome to the club.

Yeah, mine aren't too bad either at least.. It was way worse in my mid-20's! and the only makeup i wear is eyeliner, so it's not from that.. Dermotologists always manage to dry me out, gave up on them long ago... ;-) Though I must say, since I started using witch hazel at night it's gotten even better!
