September 25, 2018 at 04:30AM Gazing up the skyline of Chicago a few years ago, still claiming my East Village apartment in Manhattan as home, I gasped and muttered aloud, “It’s so clean, it’s blue.” And truly, after making these sparkling streets my own for the last two years, Chicago’s stunning eco-certified architecture and dialed train system (imagine signs that tell you how many minutes away your train is before you even descend the steps) are just a tiny glimpse of the multifaceted gem some call the Second City. With an underground music scene that rivals the best of New York and Austin (not to mention festivals like Pitchfork, Lollapalooza, and Riot Fest), Chicago’s low-key atmosphere is ripe with friendly baristas, understanding fitness instructors, and well-versed Uber drivers ready to give you the scoop on its varied offerings—including the vegan spot that Beyoncé’s been known to hit up when she’s in town.

Sometimes, you wake up with a fresh, juicy whitehead on your face, but then there are other times—just as undesirable times—in which you essentially get the message from beneath the surface that a pimple’s a-brewin’ weeks before anything shows up on skin. That’s how you know you’ve got cystic acne. When the cyst is in ghost mode (AKA you still can’t see it on the surface quite yet) it can be helpful to know what you’re up against. “It’ll usually appear as a round, red bump under the skin that is sore or tender to the touch,” says Marnie Nussbaum, MD, a New York-based dermatologist. “There will be no whitehead at the top.” It could also be warm to the touch, since it’s actually a bacterial infection of your skin, according to skin-care guru Jenefer Palmer, Osea’s founder and formulator. “Bacteria’s getting trapped inside the follicle and causing swelling as well as inflammation,” explains Dr. Nussbaum.
