I've had really bad skin for ...well... as long as I can remember. It's left me with lots of scarring and made me pretty unhappy with the way I look without makeup. So, of course, I usually wear tons of makeup. Not like OMG I'm a drag queen (although sometimes... but that's a different story) But I wear the works: foundation, concealer, powder, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, eye pencil, lipstick, and then a setting spray. It's really become an addiction. But then I thought, "hey self, what if this makeup is what's making your skin suck?" and then I answered myself. I said "Self, you're probably right. Let's try something new!" So I am. I'm trying something new
I finished off my bottle of foundation (because I couldn't bear to waste it. stuff's expensive ya know!) and then I went out and bought all new. I got Physicians Formula, the organic line. Powder, blush, and a tinted moisturizer. 2/3 which happened to be on sale at 75% off. HECK YEAH! Anyway, I've been wearing that. The powder really covers a lot better than I had anticipated.
Also, I've been giving myself honey facials. Never underestimate the power of the bee! I had a thought one night that honey is good for everything, so I got on trusty google, and lo! and behold! People have been using it for skin treatment since Cleopatra. And those Egyptians know what's up! So every other night I smear honey on my face and let it there for about a half hour. It's nice because if it gets on my lips I can lick it off and that's just yuuum.
Anyway, I can't exactly say for sure that this is all working. But I can say that this morning when I woke up and looked in the mirror, I actually thought I looked cute. Yeah, cute! Not scary or anything. My skin looked pretty darn good. Not perfect, that's a while away yet, but I'll take all the improvement I can get.
Yay for being an organic organism. ORGANICISMS ROCK!
