I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t have skin this bad. But we do. It's like in the great skincare routines, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of inflammation and comedones they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be clear? How could the skin go back to the way it was when so much acne had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this blemish. Even redness must pass. A new skin turnover will come. And when the skin sheens it will sheen out the clearer. Those were the routines that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too dumb to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those routines had lots of chances of ceasing their exfoliator use, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something.

That there's some good skin in this world, Mr Frodo. And it's worth purging for.
