Zits happen, even when you’re a mega-famous superstar like Selena Gomez. In a cute new candid pic, the Rare Beauty founder showed off a very surprising choice of pimple patch and it’s exactly what I needed to see today. Who lives in a pineapple… well, wait, on Selena Gomez’s face? It’s SpongeBob SquarePants!
Yes, the titular cheerful yellow sponge is helping Gomez get through a breakout. Gomez shared a glimpse at her adorable square-shaped pimple patch on Instagram Stories, cheekily writing that she was having one of those “I feel sexy” days. (Been there.) She’s barefaced in the pic save for the aforementioned square-shaped pimple patch, which is placed on her lower lip doing its very important work of shrinking, healing, and protecting a zit from eager picky fingers.
When you’re dealing with unexpected acne, sometimes you have to look for the humor in the situation, and clearly Gomez (and SpongeBob!) knows what’s up. You can’t not smile when you see it. And as someone who has a brand-new zit in a similar spot on my upper lip, I wish I had a cartoon character pimple patch to help me through it, especially one as optimistic and upbeat as SpongeBob himself. If anyone can cure a zit, he can!
