What am I? I dunno. Figuring out my skin type and finding the right blend of
products for that type feels like finding the perfect man. Yes, I know it
doesn't exist. But like finding the
perfect man I don’t want to be picky. Yet I would like to settle down
eventually and buckling down to figure out the pros & cons of my
options. So what am I talking about now
a man or skin type? I am already married
so I am talking about skin types, darn it!
I am so confused and not to mention when I thought I had it handled the
smallest little thing happens and my skin freaks out again. Ahhhhh! So I would
like to think I am the average consumer.
I get occasional breakouts, I have slight scarring from previous
breakouts, dry patches and an oily t-zone. But I wish it was that simple. This post is not even going to mention the sub-catagories. Acne-
DEFINITION – T-zone:
The T-zone of the face consists of the forehead, nose and chin. It makes the shape of an upper case “T”. So when someone states “I tend to get oily
around my t-zone,” that what they are talking about.
With my issues I assume I am a combination of oily and dry.
But how do I know if I am oily combination OR
dry combination?
That is where the
confusing part comes in.
Currently it is
winter and I am as dry as the desert you see in my pic.
I am currently using Clinique Moisture Surge
Intense moisturizer.
That works well, sometimes
it works too well that my t-zone turns into an oil slick.
So I only use it on the parts that are very
dry. My current conclusions,
for the winter
season I am dry to normal.
I will post a
products I am using for winter for later.
With the summer season, I am as oily as a French fry. My moisturizing is
minimal and I load up on oil blotters.
When summer rolls around I will post again.
The various combinations freak my skin out.
Cleansers, toners, serums and moisturizers with that list readers might
assume that is the reason my skin is freaking out!
Oh contraire, my “blogreadies” (blog readers
who are beauties).
It is so much
more.
I assume it’s a combination of
products, tools, techniques and sometimes (dare I say) neglect, that my skin
freaks out.
So readers, it doesn’t help because I feel
your pain. I hate it when I hear every individual is different, but I would
just like to end this post with words of encouragement that it all about you
and what you want to put into it.
If you
are fine and know your skin, lucky you!
I recommend please share with friends so they can be as lucky as you.
For those who are like me, let me just state
that clearly you are not alone,
together
we will find the perfect blend and will combat against anything that life
throws at our skin.
