Blog 6 in Series: PCOS If you don’t know what PCOS is, then please take the time to read the first post in this series, which can be found here. The Nitty Gritty: The dictionary (Google) tells me that… “Acne is a skin condition that causes pimples or “zits.” This includes whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflammed patches of skin.” Well, duh, Google!

On the left in these pictures, you see a picture I posted on my last blog of some hair removal tools. I LOVE the Sally Hansen Spray-On Remover and the Twinkle Razors, but the Sally Hansen Brush-On Hair Remover is absolute CRAP. On the right you see my picture.
