Last night, while Justin was sitting on my lap and we were both watching TV, he pointed to a zit on my face and said, “Mommy, you have a pimple.” I said, “Okay.” He didn’t stop there, however. He continued touching the zit at the base of my chin, and then he asked, “Why do have a pimple, Mommy?” And I said, “Because you keep on touching my face, and your hands are dirty!”

I think the reasons why my skin keeps breaking out are: (1) I’m going to have my monthly period soon; and (2) I haven’t had a good sleep these past few days because Justin’s allergic cough had been acting up, which kept him and me awake most nights. I should find a remedy for my pimples soon or the little boy won’t keep his hands off my face. Is tea tree oil for acne any good?
