Is Your Phone Giving You Acne?

One of the lovely things my boy gave me for Christmas was an iPhone.

Exhibit A:

One not so lovely thing it's given me is acne.  Or more accurately, a persistent spot on the lower part of my right cheek, near the corner of my mouth.  And the culprit? See that crud on the shiny surface? Oh yes, that would be my make up, sebum and filth of London.  Every time I take a phone call, these delicious substances have a dirty little party on my cheek.  Resulting in...

Exhibit B:

I hope you're not eating lunch!  And apologies if you are!

Now one thing I am blessed with is spot-free skin most of the time (karmic-ally balanced out by pores you could swim in) , and on the odd occasion a little beastie does erupt around that special time of month, I blitz it with a couple of lashings of TCP liquid.  However, this little monster is being very persistent, and I've had it over a week now, which is normally unheard of for me.  But see, it gets to meet up with it's best friends about ten times a day, so why would it run off with smelly old TCP?

My work AGM is next week and this eruption needs to be gone by then, so I am taking action.  I thought about getting some antibacterial wipes to give my phone a rub down after each face party, but it's been so hot recently, and the tube is always as boiling as the third circle of hell, so they would dry out too quickly in my bag.   However, I always carry with me a little bottle of antibacterial gel and a packet of tissues, and so this is what I'll use to keep my phone germ free.  I'll let you know how I get on in a few weeks and whether the combo blitzes the beastie for good.

I have a really cute, mini bottle of antibac gel from Victoria's Secret in the scent Pure Seduction, which is a great smell for my phone, but not one on my hands right before eating.  If you try this out too remember to  be careful to avoid getting the gel near the button or speaker in case it damages the handset.

A pink match made in heaven!
