My next writing assignment has a pretty comfortable deadline, which is three weeks later. That doesn’t mean I can totally relax and not do anything. I still have personal projects that I need to accomplish, but I don’t have to rush for deadlines or burn midnight oil (for 24 hours!) for at least another 2 weeks. 
I will also take this opportunity to rest more, for the sake of my skin! I think my skin must have aged a million years due to one 24-hours of non-stop work. Lines are obvious now, eeeks! Luckily there’s no acne breakout, otherwise I have to tackle several skin issues at one time. 
I found out that sometimes certain simple things that I do everyday or regularly can help prevent acne breakout or stop it from getting worse, such as:
- Changing the pillow case. It helps curb ‘mysterious’ acne breakouts.
- Replacing used towels with cleans ones regularly.
- Dabbing off the sweat on my forehead and around the nose otherwise these areas will get oily.
- Keeping my hair away from my face when I am awake and sleeping. Sometimes I can get so irritated by my own hair, because it makes my face, neck and shoulder itchy! The scratching usually causes rashes or triggers acne.
So, while I’m not too tied up with work this week, I’d better change the bedding in my room.
