Clear Skin or Lack Thereof
January 9th 2008 04:50
So, yesterday I was having an "ugly" day. My skin sorta broke out and it looked more oily than usual. I think it was attributable to my hormonal week...ladies, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Then again, it's also partially due to a lack of sleep, so a combination of pre-period hormones and sleep deprivation are huge contributing factors.
Well, I had to do something about it. And if I didn't, then I was 2 seconds away from putting a paper bag over my head. So I exfoliated my skin with Clean and Clear Face Scrub- the kind that's specifically formulated to combat nasty blackheads. After scrubbing and rinsing, I immediately noticed a drastic difference. The grease face was gone. But it didn't end there. I then proceeded to apply Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque on my face. I'll tell ya, for a 3-4 dollar jar (or tube), that baby made a heck of a big difference. Anyway, I left it on my face for about 30 minutes, meanwhile, I carefully dabbed some Mary Kay Eye Gel around my eye area. I owed it to my skin. Well, the good news is, today my skin is 50% better.
So, girls (and guys too), I strongly urge you to take care of your skin. Exfoliate at least once a week. You don't want your face to scream "I just consumed a Big Mac and large French Fries." Heck, I'm a vegetarian and my skin pretty much reflected that yesterday. Scary...
p.s. for some reason, my upload image thing is not working...so I can't grace you with a lovely picture of Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque at the moment
