The week after the wedding my skin pretty much went crazy. Usually, when I leave from my grandmother’s house I barely even have to wash my face. She has soft water and usually it works magic on my skin. I love it. I think I’ve found the culprit of this unusual behavior to be the sunscreen I was wearing. I decided I needed to start wearing sunscreen, but my face decided otherwise. So to reverse the effects, I’ve been very deliberate in dealing with my face. As far as regimens go this has been my counterattack:
Morning
- Wash with Bellaboo Buff Skin
- Aloe Vera gel
- Thayer’s Witch Hazel or Clinique Emergency Gel-Lotion
- Bellaboo Mosturise Dew
Night
- Wash with Bellaboo All That Clean Skin wash + Clarisonic Mia
- Aloe Vera gel
- Clinique Acne Solutions Moisturizer
- Sweet Almond Oil
I think I’m gonna chill on the Emergency Gel-Lotion during the day. The key to this has really seemed to be the night regimen. The aloe vera gel really helped to clear up what I like to call “allergy bumps” which are those little fine bumps that appear when my skin has a bad reaction to something. The Clinique acne moisturizer smells horrible, but for whatever reason, this 2.5% benzoyl peroxide treatment is literally shrinking these bumps overnight. As for the sweet almond oil, I don’t even know what to say about it. It doesn’t make my skin oily, it makes my skin baby effing smooth. It also absorbs easily and
I haven’t had any adverse reactions from using it like I’ve had with oils in the past. I can’t say that I’m surprised though, because it’s the first ingredient after water in the Bellaboo moisturizer. So hopefully after a few more days of this I can go back to my basic wash and go skin regimen.
