the dream green cream

the best way to explain this is to say that my face is always red. especially if it's not summer and i have no tan. from the moment i wake up and all the way through the day, i'm red. add a little sport, heat or nervousness, and i turn a nice shade of tomato. until recently, i didn't think much about it, cos that's how it had been for ages, but either it started getting worse or i was told it was actually a medical condition (probably both), but suddenly, i wished there was something i could do about it.

2 weeks ago, there was a show on tv where a girl had a similar problem. they explained to her that a bit of green cream would make the redness go away (red and green apparently cancel each other out), and they put the cream on half of her face to show her the difference, and the effect was pretty good. so off i went in search of the dream green cream. and found it quite esaily, actually. after talking to the woman in charge (ever noticed how they tell you all about skin care etc but they slap on tons of make-up etc on their own faces and thus look like hell?), i bought my one tub, not the three pre-/mid-/post- whatever she was trying to sell me and waited till the next day to try it. and it works! it really does. at first, i thought it wasn't so good, cos i could still see some redness, but then i went to a laser game and while my face felt the way it does when i turn tomato red, i still looked nicely normal. victory!
