Black paint & red shoes

I am a skin care junkie. I love testing out new products, creating crazy new regimenes and basically torturing my poor skin. Coincidentally, my skin goes through cycles of extreme irritation to blissful recovery. My addiction goes way back to days spent creating “facials” out of baby powder, lotion and Kleenex in my bathroom. Since then, I’ve tried everything from Sea Breeze to Proactive, most to no results or even worse conditions than when I began. The only thing that has really worked for me is a great moisturizer, a hardcore overnight spot treatment, a non-drying daily cleanser, a super-intense eye cream, a non-medicated exfoliant and a daytime spot treatment plus a low-level birth control to moderate those nasty hormones. Results may vary, but I can promise that a lifetime’s worth of research has gone into this endorsement. In other news, if you are in need of a half-full tube of “Neutrogena’s Clear Pore Soothing Gel Astringent” from the mid-90’s, I’m your girl.
