Some tips to remember when applying acne medication:

Applying acne medications may sometimes cause slight irritation such as dryness, burning and tightness of the skin. However, this is normal and related to its active ingredients. A remedy would be to apply the acne medication one at a time, or every other day until the skin gets use to it. Applying a light moisturizer in the morning can help.

If the acne medication is cream  or gel based, just squeeze a pea size to your fingertip. This is sufficient enough to cover the entire face. But be sure to avoid applying around the yes and lips because these are very sensitive areas wherein the skin is thin. These are medications you are using so reactions can happen if you apply too much.

Clean the face properly. If you wear make-up such as foundation or concealers, be sure to use a make-up remover (cream or lotion based), wash the face gently with mild cleanser and pat dry, do not rub the face nor use hand towels. The face should be clean and dry; residue make-up acts like a barrier so absorption of the medication will be lesser, thereby makes it ineffective.

Excessive exposure to sunlight or UV radiation should be avoided.

Never use other topical acne medications not recommended by your physician because this may cause interactions, or may produce additive irritant effects with your present prescribed drug.

It is best to consult your dermatologist for the proper acne drug suited for the specific type of acne. It is best you have your doctor’s guidance on how to properly apply the acne medication, the length of the acne treatment, the possible reactions that can happen and what to do in such cases.

Be consistent in applying your acne medication. Results cannot be seen overnight, the skin needs time to recover. Compliance to the acne treatment depends on you. Best result is seen when you apply the medication consistently.

What do you do with your life when you are in midlife?  I have to make things happen, restore balance in my life and re- invent or re reframe myself. I am letting go of a phase of my life wherein I have to do what is in order, but now, do what I enjoy and like.

Before I have to do things because I have to, for someone else. Now I want to do things because I enjoy doing it and it gives me fulfillment and contentment. With these I am embracing a new life, my looks and my health becomes my responsibility.

For the past 5 years  I have gone through these changes:

I have shifted my work from public practice to private practice. I worked in a totally different environment and this gave me a new challenge and lots of opportunities..

I have involved myself into activities that my children do get involved in, in the end I am becoming a cool mom.  I blog, do facebook , follow them on twitter, watch the latest movies and concerts , updated my celphone and now I am using IMAC.

70 % of my work involves dealing with the young ones (Academe). I have change the way I look; I became aware of what’s new in fashion, thanks to my kids.

I may have disappointments and goals that have not been accomplished. But I am taking my time….

Notes on Play:

Play, often described as “ the work of children”… is any voluntary activity engaged in for the purpose of enjoyment… it is not something a child does when he or she has nothing else to do , it is something the child has to do.
-Adele Pillitteri, PhD, RN, PNP
Author of the Maternal and Child Health Nursing

From being an infant, toddler, preschooler and school-age children, play is as an integral part of their life. Even if one reached adulthood, we want to play, we always feel at ease after we play. How can one forget his or her first toy? I will always remember my first “walking doll” given to me by my “lola”. Up to this time I would always recall how I played with it, how I used to change her dresses, combed her curly hair etc.
