I’ve had skin care issues all my life and, unfortunately, sometimes its less a matter of treating it and more a matter of just dealing with it. Though, as I’ve gotten older, it’s hardly as severe as it used to be in my youth, it’s still an embarassing problem, …

I remember the funny old irish Spring ads from the 1970’s with their tag line—“ “fresh and clean as a whistle.”
