Classic 105’s Ciku Muiruri Discovers Cure for Acne

Realizing how acne is a big deal especially among the youth, Classic 105’s Ciku Muiruri has come up with a solution for acne riddled teens. In her weekly column, Ciku narrates how she met a boy with acne and prescribed to him a “cure” for the same. Take a look;

I have just run into a boy with an awful case of acne. Did you go through this when you were a teen? Did you have inflamed sebaceous glands all over the skin that looked like tiny volcanoes about to erupt at any moment? Eww. It’s quite horrible to be a teen. If you’re a girl, you deal with even more crap than the boys do. Do girls still wear sweaters in the blistering heat because they are uncomfortable with their emerging chest? Back to this boy, suffering from the ultimate tool the gods have for ruining a teenager’s social life (These must be the pagan gods that answered parent’s prayers of making their kid unattractive to the opposite sex until they are old enough to be in a relationship!).
 
First of all, stop trying to burst the little buggers. I know, it’s almost irresistible, the urge to squash them into oblivion but you are just making a bad situation worse. All you’ll have to show for your trouble, if you go down this route, are infections and long-term unsightly facial scars. Secondly, do not use wash your face with soap and water. You will need something that will help remove the oils without drying the skin. Try (and I’m not kidding) Johnson’s baby shampoo.
 
When I first heard that baby shampoo was the cure to all facial woes, I smirked. It was some time back when I was looking like an anaconda, remember? I went to a dermatologist and got some creams that cleared everything right up and then I had signs of a re-emergence a few weeks later. By this time, I was confident that the creams would work, since I had used them before but I hate relying on medication for anything! So I decided to give the shampoo a try. I figured that if it can’t hurt the babies, it couldn’t hurt me, right? A couple of days later, my skin was radiant. Disclaimer: I did not use it on its own; I ditched my usual moisturizer and used Aloe Vera (use the purest form you can find). A couple of days later, I was fine. I have since returned to my normal face routine and have had no re emergence of the skin problem since then.
 
So here I am, face to face with this young man and I had to say something. “I know something that would clear your face up in an instant!” I said brightly thinking that he’d be pleased. I got the opposite reaction with the young man shifting uncomfortably and looking quite embarrassed that some lady wanted to give him tips about the pimples on his face. When he tried to speak, the words came out in a different range of pitches and he mumbled something about having tried everything and then quickly clammed up. Oh great, he has to deal with his voice breaking on top of the pus filled lesions on his face. Poor fellow. “This will definitely work, you’ll thank me one day,” I said as I wrote down my wonder cure and passed the paper over to him. He barely said thank you before he scampered off for safety.
 
I forgot to write down my phone number for him to find out if his face has leveled out, so if you’re reading this and have the same problem, try it and let me know if Johnsons should change their marketing campaign to include teenagers as well. Does it work? Drop me an email ciku@classic105.com
