No!!!!!!! Mardin shriek loudly!! It's like my whole world fall on me!!!! My mom runs to the bathroom and knocks nervously. Mardin!!! Mardin are you alright? I open the door and I said no mom, upon seeing my mom's face that looks so worried. I corrected myself and said it's ok mom. I just got a big giant skin outbreak. My mom's facial expressions turn from frightening to relief then irritation.
She said to me"did you follow the skincare routine that I told you? It's a very simple job. I advised you to do it regularly. Stop being lazy! Forgetting about it, especially before going to sleep is not good. (mom nagging me)! I replied to her "yes I do".(I told myself being a teenager is so hard. You are not only in a constant battle If school work, school activities, home life, house chores, mother's nagging, and now acne!!!! (I try to soothe myself it's just one bid skin outbreak, not a big deal).
When I turned a teenager four years ago and show some hormonal change call puberty, My mom specifically told me to wash my face at least three to four times a day with plain water. She said by genes we have normal to oily skin. So to prevent from getting skin clog washing with water removes oil and dirt. Mom told me that the best skin care regimen is to use plain water and only used facial scrub the night before going to sleep.
My mom is also particular about getting enough sleep. She always makes sure that I have sufficient one, so I grow up sleeping before 10 pm. She believes that our body needs to repair and sleeping early gives our body enough time to overhaul. Mom always reminds me to drink 2 liters of water every day for hydration.
As far as I remember I never have a major skin outbreak until today. The big giant pimple nicely grows on the right side of my cheeks and looks red and swelling.
My mom inspecting my face and give me a tube of medicine to apply in my face and she told me this will help reduce the inflammation.
I quickly grab the medicine and apply it to my face and grab my school bag and lunch box and put my breakfast in it. Then grab one apple to eat on my way to school. Tell my mom thank you and bid her goodbye. Hurriedly run out from home and walk to school.
My mom looks perplexed as I didn't even bother to eat my breakfast. I know it's my favorite fried rice with all its added ingredients but I am late.
