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.

No, no, no--ASS is just so last year, remember?

I'm sure you still look wonderful, but I hereby declare that you should treat yourself to a nice facial to make yourself feel better. Call the spa right this second! ;-)

Well, there is still ASS (I can't make the world go away), but I am taking the Long View with it. Facials are, alas, out of the question. There's no telling what will and won't react well with my skin, and after a colleague broke out in hives after getting one (had to go to the dermatologist for cortisone!), I am deeply wary. But a massage would be really nice right about now.

Yep, I had a similar problem after being _treated_ to a spa facial- hives but no need for cortisone thank feck :/

Cucumber, plain aloe vera goop or slices of avacado sort my face out. I have body shop almond milk moisturiser at the mo which is gentle as on my skin.

I have a zit too - it perches beauty spot like above my top lip :)

I have to advertise again: dermalogica facials don't upset even my dodgy skin. Of course, allergy is different for everyone. And the last thing you want to do when it's irritated is put NEW stuff on it obviously.

Drink loads of water and try to get enough sleep.

Drinks. Loads. Of. Water.

Yes.
