I don't know how it happens, but I have worse acne now than I did when I was a teenager. Maybe my stress level is higher now or my hormones are starting to get funky or something? I know part of the problem is the environment in which I work. The ink solutions create oily air which settles on my skin all day long. I'm trying to clean my face at least once during the day, but unfortunately I'm losing the blemish battle. I'm going to have to try something different before I permanently scar my face.

I've heard about a treatment called proactive that is supposed to work really well. I think I saw a television commercial for it in which Jessica Simpson was the spokesperson.

The Proactiv® Solution is actually a three step dermatologist-developed process that heals current blemishes and helps stop new ones from forming. The first step is an oil-free cleanser, the second is a revitalizing toner and the third is a repairing lotion that contains benzoyl peroxide. The site is also giving away two free bonuses with the system — a refining mask and a guide called "Face the Facts" about healing and preventing acne.

I'll definitely be giving this product a try. I'm too old to have acne this bad.

Apple's iLife '08 was just released. Marcus and I were watching a bit of the special presentation on Apple's site during lunch today. It seems to have some really cool new features. We took off for the Cherry Creek Apple Store right after I got off of work and they were all out. So Marcus called Aspen Grove and was told they had plenty. He headed up there after he got off work and the employee on the phone was apparently smoking crack. No iLife for Marcus today. Boooo!
