...like your skin. Or really my skin, because honestly, I don't know much about yours. And your skin houses blushing so I wasn't lyin'.
My skin is causing me to have an identity crisis lately. It kind of goes like this: we all know that I'm a granny pants when it comes to sleeping. There's just something about 9:30 p.m. that makes it a blissfully perfect time to go to bed. On top of that I'm pretty sure that I'm starting to get wrinkles, or crinkles as I like to call them, on my forehead {see above photo for proof that I am not over-exaggerating} . My queen mother has told me since the young age of 3 that I worry too much and that if I didn't wipe all that worry off of my face I'd get pre-mature wrinkles. QM was right. Thirdly, because everything is better in a list, I am also still breaking out like a 14 year old drama queen {See above picture again}.
I'll sum it up for you: 22 years old for realz, 95 year old bed-time, 50 year old forehead wrinkles, and 14 year old pimple skin. What's a girl to do? I have a few tried and trues, but I have a hard time sticking with a certain face wash, moisturizer, etc. Mostly because they are so pricey, and it pains me to not be spending that money on fun things, like shoes.
Here are my tried and trues. I would put my 14 year old skin's life in any of their hands:
1. Clarisonic PLUS. This thing is a blessing sent from on high and I will cry gallons of tears the day it dies. I like using it with this green face brush and this body brush. It's pricey, but oh so worth the investment. I promise you a million times over.
2. MAC Cleanse Off Oil. Never ever again will I go without this. It takes off everything. I obsess about it a little more here.
3. Jason Natural Vitamin E Oil. I lather this stuff on my face every night. I tried to use it during the day, but I kind of felt like an oil slick - and how much more pre-teeny could I get? If you decide to try this I recommend getting the 5,000 IU for your face, it's thinner and more manageable. I got 32000 IU once and it was the goopiest mess I've ever encountered. Really. I think that's more for reducing the appearance of stretch marks on thighs, I've heard it's a miracle worker in that way too. Any way, put it on before bed and wake up with skin as supple as a baby's bum. Oh and I'm obsessed with putting it on my neck and decollete. I'm also obsessed with the word decollete.
4. Dermalogica Multi-Vitamin Power Firm. Okay, I don't REALLY know how wells this works, but it feels fantastic. It's an eye treatment, and luckily my worriedness crinkles hasn't taken over that part of my face yet. I think of this as an investment in the prevention of crows feet. It's pricey, but my little tube has lasted me over a year and I'm only half way through.
5. Aspirin Mask. Love.
The only things missing are a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Right now I'm using all Dermalogica, and it works okay, but hasn't knocked my socks off. I have a few ideas for a new cleanser and toner that I'll share later BUT...
The jury's still out on the face lotion. Any suggestions on a phenomenal moisturizer? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
And this is why I love blogging.
