30 days No-Squeezing challenge, Attempt 2

Yeah, I failed.
I'd blame the M.A.C.  foundation, but let's be hinest - M.A.C. did not squeeze anything, I did.

Same rules, same self-award.
Here we go again!

30 days No Squeezing challenge: Day 9

It's been over  a week already?

Things have been progressing nicely on the challenge frontier.
As predicted, "usual suspects" reappeared pretty quickly, but apart from that no real damage. Blackheads exist like they always did in-between evictions, roughly same size they always grew to. No magical disappearances,  however skin seems to be in much better shape. I think - and  I hope it's not just wishful thinking - that less irritation has led to less sebum production.

I might actually earn myself that Pureview... :D

30 days No Squeezing challenge

Squeezing is my little dark guilty secret.
I´ve been `doing it`for more than half of my life and I could never stop. I could give up smoking or drinking or even eating sweets `cold turkey`, but I could hardly go a day without this.

Sometimes I torture myself thinking how much better my skin would look if I didn´t squeeze black and blue for years, but since it´s pointless, I try not to dwell upon that for too long.

However, it's never too late to change.
And change comes today. Not tomorrow, not on New Years, but today.
I will refrain from squeezing for 30 days. I will not try, but I will do it. There is no try.

Challenges

Apart from the obvious difficult breaking of a long-established habits, there's the part where I am afraid my skin might actually need squeezing by now no to look like a strawberry. After so many years - I theorize - my pores I probably so misshapen that no amount of proper treatment will really fix them getting stuck... We shall see.

Reward

Yes, there's that little carrot on the stick.
If I manage full 30 days, I will treat myself to Nokia 1020 Pureview.
It's a nice pun I guess, 'Pureview'. And maybe my skin will actually get better so I can use the amazing quality of the camera on my own face?

Footnotes

I won't be posting everyday, that would be a waste of space.
I think.
