take good care of my skin

My skin is pretty nice to me, so I just want to return the favor and not ruin it.

:)

I vow to take better care of my skin, especially my face.

Take good care of my skin. I promise to try and wear sunscreen this summer.

More water and less tea, and no alcohol. This should help to hydrate my skin. I love this image:)

I realize now that exfoliation is very important. I found an awesome fruit enzyme scrub. It makes your face really rosy and glowy. I have been using it 2x daily for three days. Cool!

Today I got a facial with all Dermalogica products. It was pretty amazing and I feel really good and relaxed now. She just got out of school and this is her first job so she is not charging much. My friend said my skin looked good so I must be doing something right yay! Plus, not drinking lately (in over 2 months, 1/2 of a beer) has probably also been great for my skin.(pic not me:)

Working in Kosovo has really been hell on my face. In Colorado I never had problems, but the polution here is really bad and the water in the showers is not filtered as well as in the States. For the first time in my life I am constantly having to put stuff on my face. Moisturizer just seems to make the breakouts worse…UHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying this spray. A woman told me all about it yesterday. According to her it is a mineral salt that naturally attracts moisture. She said if you sprayed a little bit in the desert eventually it would attract a small pool of water. I am wearing it now, lets see what happens. So far it’s a little sticky:)

Internally: Aloe Vera gel, fish oil, water & vegetables

Avoiding: Coffee, alcohol, too much sun

Using: Chamocare face cream alpha hydroxy 12% at night

I would like to also start taking Vitamin C w/ bioflavanoids many times throughout the day for connective tissue.

But it’s better. I’m using neutrogena products and emu oil – I have cystic acne (gross), and it always shows up at the most inopportune time, and there’s not much you can do about it. But, with the products I’m using, it’s getting better. My skin tone is evening out, and I dont feel like a spaz monster as much anymore – the confidence is improving. :)
