My face isn't that acne-ridden, but everyone has their problems with pealing skin, oily skin, blackheads, rough spots, etc. My sister and I tried product after product, but using multiple brands didn't seem to work, and eventually we fell in love with all things Clean and Clear for our facial needs. These are the five products from them I use.
Night Soft Oil Free Moisturizer. I suffer from very dry skin, except for my nose, which is greasy. Especially in the winter, my face will peal and crack. But if I remember to put this on every night before bed, the dryness is hardly noticeable!
Oil-free Foaming Facial Cleanser. Best facial soap ever. It makes you feel so clean. I use it everyday when I wake up, and dirt and grease refuses to stick to me for the rest of the morning. It also is very useful to get those last smudges of makeup off.
Soothing Eye Makeup Remover. This stuff is seriously powerful, and not too oily, the most important things in a make-up remover.
Persa-Gel Acne Medication. Really powerful cream for problem spots. I like it cause it rubs into my skin well, and doesn't dry my face out, which for me, is a big plus.
Continuous Control Acne Cleanser. First of all the texture of this cleanser is delightful. No other way to put it. And ohmygoodness, rubbing this on your face, you can feel your face getting clean.
Yeah. This post is pretty much ONE BIG SHAMEFUL ADVERTISEMENT FOR CLEAN AND CLEAR. They should pay me for promoting their stuff. But seriously, it's amazing.
I've been gone almost a week? How could I? Sorry! I've been really busy and sick at the same time. Ah well. Here are some things that make you feel better when sick, because that's mainly what I've been thinking about.
Yogi Ginger Tea. I swear this Healing Hindu Wonder Tea is full of Black Magic or Something Equally Powerful. It almost instantly makes you feel better. Also, the tea bags always have inspirational quotes written on them to lift your spirits.
Costume Dramas. I'm such a girl sometimes. But pretty people in pretty clothes experiencing lots of angst and romance just lifts the spirits so nicely. If you're looking for long, epic and depressing watch Bleak House (2005). If you're looking for dark, romantic and angsty you should watch North and South (2004). If you want short, sweet and charming Northanger Abbey (2007) works especially well, or perhaps Sense and Sensibility (1995). Jane Eyre (2006) is perfect if you want long, dramatic and passionate. If you're feeling a tad unconventional, watch Amazing Grace (2006). If you are feeling very traditional, Pride and Prejudice (1995) is the only way to go.
Wrap-around dresses. It's like a step up from wearing a bathrobe around the house, but it's not quite real clothes and they are comfy but pretty at the same time.
Soundtracks. Or just instrumental music in general. It's really pretty and it's often full of sad songs which sympathize with the melancholy and apocalyptic mood most people contract while sick. This week I've been listening to a lot of the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince soundtrack. The best tracks are Harry and Hermione, In Noctem and Malfoy's Mission.
Raspberries and other sweet and squishy fruits. They're pretty awesome any day of the week, but when sick they are especially refreshing.
Wrapping yourself in a blanket and curling into a ball to die. Okay, maybe not to die. But sometimes just rolling yourself up in a corner to moan about the gloom and doom of your current unpleasant situation is the best thing to do.
Yeah. Well, thankfully, I'm feeling much better now. And I've got a full day ahead of me... School (lots of math). Gym. Cleaning the bathroom. Drawing. Perhaps some babysitting. So enough wasting time on here.
