The Confidence Factor

It is the absolute worst when I wake up the morning of a presentation, interview or meeting with a giant, red blemish. I honestly feel like that is the only thing anyone will notice when they see me, and I know its all I will be thinking about anytime I'm talking with someone. 

I've actually been struggling with a few troubled spots on my chin and forehead that seem to just keep coming back. My first day of classes was this past Tuesday. After having 15 years of "first day of class," I've given up a little on trying to look really nice on those days, because after all, they're going to see my normal self the rest of the semester! But I was pretty annoyed that my skin was still acting up and the first time seeing my friends after break I would have pimples sticking out saying hello even before I could. 

Of course, it probably doesn't look as bad as I make it out to be- it never does. But no matter how well it seems covered or how much smaller it seems, I get really self conscious! It takes all my willpower to get my mind off it enough to not keep touching it, which of course, only makes it worse!  

But, after a nice relaxing facial and with a more consistent skincare routine, my skin is healing, and so is my confidence. My revised New Year's resolution? Stop obsessing over pimples!
