Hasta la Vista Acne: Somme Institute Skincare...
2008-04-22 03:48:00

Bottom line, I want the MOST bang for my buck....and if my doctor says it works then I don't mind plunking down the dough..... And as you all know, the reason for this is that I am a control FREAK when it comes to my face. Seriously, when I was in high school I used to STAY HOME if I had a big zit....(thanks Dad....he used to say, "hmm...Look who's growing a second nose...or, Look who's growing a second chin...")  Now at 32, I am SO glad I stuck with my dermatologist (and therapist) because after YEARS of laying in the sun, tanning-bed abuse and long distance running w/o a stitch of sunscreen my skin looks pretty good wrinkle-wise (if I do say s...
