The Pimple Dilema

Yesterday morning, after being reasonably good with my new face routine, I woke up with a rather severe looking pimple on the side of my nose.

At my age, I thought my days of pimples were over. During my adolescence, I didn't really suffer from acne or pimples all that much. I had the occasional mild breakout in the T-zone but nothing more. I believe that this is part of the reason I did not delve into the world of beauty and skincare before now.

Recently, I sprouted a lovely little pimple at the edge of my lip, which I attributed to the use of Pound Store and Lidl brand products on my skin. I stopped using them as soon as I saw the pimple. The whole point of this new regime was to improve the quality of my skin; not to destroy it.

My little visitor

As you know from a previous post, I am currently using Boots Botanics products and I really like them. They feel really good on my skin and I even kind of like the smell, which is odd because it's not a pretty smell. I am loath to discontinue using these products so I want to know if the product could be causing the problem or if it's something else.

Does anyone out there know the answer to this burning question?

And another thing: what do I do about this pimple, other than hide it or wait it out?
