I now have teenage kids (or at least one teenager and one who THINKS he is). I can remember growing up and having a boyfriend's mother "gently" tell me about how effective an apricot scrub could be (Sidetrack: Do you wonder why he was only a boyfriend? Can you imagine a lifetime of "gentle" comments like that one?)

My kids are blessed with good skin for teenagers--nice complexion, not too many "owies", etc. However, I noticed that Tre' was starting to get some blackheads and so I picked up the above-named apricot scrub to "help" him out; I told him that he needed to squeeze this out and mix it with a little bit of water and rub it on his face.

A couple of weeks passed...I asked him how it was going. He said he wasn't using it because it was "defective." "Defective?" was my reply..... "Yeah, defective. It has all these little pieces of rock inside of it." Pause. Laughter--from DJ and I.

Too funny! I use that same scrub once or twice a month. Can't use it too often or my skin feels like it's gonna fall off... but I do love the way those "rocks" feel :)

Hahahaha. We've been going through the "you'd better use that Clean and Clear every day now kid" lecture circuit over here, now that I've got one who hit the big 1-3. How did this happen to us, Heidi? And OH MY HECK, did she really give you that "hint?" Unbelievable. So happy you escaped that.
