clear up my skin

So this was actually going great but it wasn’t because of any product, it was 100% because of diet. Less sugar, more veggies, more water, less junky carbs. Of course now this one is at a standstill too. Between hormones and cravings for everything sweet (and no more discipline) my skin is crappy once again.

I got the new skin care line from Clinique for rosacea and it’s been a week or two. I’m using it pretty consistently and I can’t say it’s improving a whole lot but the routine is definitely a positive thing (even when I don’t wear make up, which is often, I’m washing my face 2x a day). The product that does seem to work the best is the brightener. I asked the lady at the store who did my mini makeover why my face was so bumpy and she said it was probably oils trapped under my skin. Sure enough the bumps are going away with my new cleanser and brightener. I still think a healthier diet is going to help the most though. One step at a time. I’m not ready to give up chocolate yet.

Allergies kicked in and this has gotten worse. I’m not sure what to do. I think changing my diet will help but I’m having a lot of trouble eating healthy. Mainly if there are snacks in the house, I WILL EAT THEM. Arrgghhh, where did my self control go?

My mom bought me the whole face kit from clarins for Christmas (expensive), now I have to keep using it everyday. I have acne rosacia which isn’t acne at all but is embarrassing at times because my face gets really red in certain areas whenever I get hot, nervous or drink alcohol. I makes my skin uneven and dry too. I hope this sensitive skin stuff works. The dermatologist gave me a prescription too but it burns and itches when I put on so I don’t know if I will continue using it.
