A Pox on Pox

[xraytheenforcer]

Bah. Ten days on the West Coast have left my complexion in a tizzy. I had to switch up face soaps to something ultra ultra mild because my skin got so dry and irritated (it helped, a lot), but now I'm in payback time. My skin is simultaneously oily, flaky, on the verge of a full-scale break-out (but mercifully that hasn't happened yet), and I've got a zit on my chin. OK, it's a small one, but as it emerged yesterday at work, I swear I could hear it laughing at me. Fucker.

If I had more of a sense of humor about these things, I'd change my avatar to Pizza the Hut. Instead, I give you ASS.

Ahhh! Visits to the 'rents used to always make my skin all kinds of crazy (more so than usual!). I used to think it was stress, but after I fired the more unpleasant members of my family, I figured it was the air quality or water or something like that. Maybe its the recycled air in planes that turn me into a wrinkles + zits monster.
Meanwhile... I have a facial in my future (and I think I'm gonna ask my local place about Dermalogica, because a recommendation from a friend of Martha's is a good one indeed!

Wait - you can fire your family? Why was I not told?

I can second the Dermalogica recommendation. I too have had nasty reactions in the past (though no cortisone!) and never had problems with the products.

Of course not all products are the same, and all skin certainly isn't, but I'd definitely give it a try if you can!
