Loxy's New Job Triggered Middle School Skin Problems


Loxy recently started a new career. He left the exciting world of advertising and entered the dangerous world of being a middle school teacher. If you've seen The Wire, then you understand why, instead of inspirational, respected or influential, I lead with dangerous. Granted, Loxy's school is nowhere as bad as what is depicted on The Wire. But there are more than a few kids who are far from perfect, and Loxy has become a pro at breaking up middle school scuffles. Plus all of his posters are always wrong. (Fellow teachers will understand what a difficult task it is to maintain the proper "boards".) Middle school isn't how I remember it at all. However, I also attended school in the country, at what is now my state's leading agriculture school, so that may have something to do with the difference.

While Loxy loves his job and really wants to be a good teacher and reach at least some of the kids, it is stressful with a capital S. It is causing his normally peachy skin to turn oily and prone to breakouts. I turned to Votre Vu to help get his skin under control. I wanted him to feel more secure and I didn't want the kids to start saying things like, "Hey Mr. Lox! You oily." It seems middle schoolers point out everything to you, with no courtesy filter at all. Nobody likes to be dissed by sixth graders. (The other day, he was told several times that he looked fly, which made me beam with pride in a very strange way, even if his shirt was from Choleria.)


So what got Loxy's skin under control? Products focused on taming and balancing oily skin from Votre Vu. Loxy started by using Votre Vu's Cleaning Gelee. This cleanser helps to balance, diminishing the amount of oil without harshly stripping the skin.


Next, he used Votre Vu's Tonic for Oily Skin, which is a toner with a gentle scent that also helps to balance the skin.


On his actual breakouts, he dotted his face at night with Au Revoir, a curious pink silt and liquid combo that quickly knocks out pimples. I have used this in the past and gotten the same excellent results. (On a side note, no matter how much you want to, this product isn't meant to be shaken.)


Loxy finished his skin care routine with Habitude, a face creme for men with an SPF of 15, which protects his face from the aging rays of the sun.

The result? Loxy is no longer oily and pimple prone. Within less than a week, Loxy said his skin felt cleaner and it definitely looked more clear. Being a teacher is certainly much harder than even I expected (and I am super proud of him). I am glad he doesn't have to worry about breakouts and instead can focus on teaching middle school kids about indigenous people of the Amazon.
