I’m always looking for the next best thing.

I find a decent face wash, and I just have to try one more, just in case it might be better.

Why do I feel the incessant need to do this?

It invariably ends in pain.

Pain in the form of acne.

From now on I’m not going to give in.

I will continue using my Noxema, which of all the things I’ve tried actually keeps my skin the clearest.

I’ll sit on my hands and avoid asking my husband to take me to the store with the best skin care aisle.

I’ll close my eyes (figuratively of course) when I drive past it myself.

And if I have to go to the store…I’ll keep my hands to myself.

Unless I’m reaching for more good old Noxema.
