Success

After a make up free week of zero chemicals on my face, it has finally returned to normal.  Too bad Ireland experienced summer this week - I assume that's us done for the year. Some lovely things I picked up along the way:

Aqueous Cream BP:  This was given to me last weekend by the chemist for my horribly burnt skin and it's wonderful, widely available and cheap as chips.  Usually prescribed for Eczema, it worked a treat to bring my skin back to normal. There have been reports questioning it's effectiveness for skin issues, but I didn't experience any negative side effects. It doubles as a cleanser & now has a permanent place on my every changing skin care regime.  Lash it on & cover with a warm (clean) face cloth and relax as the day's dirt (& stress) just washes away.  I can confirm that make up also melts away.

Coconut Oil:  I already said this was wonderful but it really is!!!!  Oh my god my hair is so soft.  Note - do not confuse it with surgical spirits as I did.  My hair did not like that.

Eau Thermale Avene Clean-Ac:  It's a specially formulated cream for people undergoing treatment for acne.  They've a whole range but it's SUPER expensive so I could only afford the thermal spray for those dry attacks and the moisturiser for morning moisture.

  

Lush Dream Cream: I've had to carry around a tub of this stuff all week to moisture on the go - so weird but it's got to be done!  It pretty much has nothing in it that can harm me so it's all good.

Eye Drops: I cannot go anywhere without them!  My eyes are so scratchy!!!  It may have been because I put eyelash glue in my eye instead on Weds but perhaps not.  Maybe these tablets are making me stupid...

Bon Iver: Nothing and nobody beats Bon Iver for some chill magical beauty.  I heard this cover this morning and it's been on repeat ever since.  My next project will be to learn the piano.

Other than the initial side-effects, everything else has been grand.  None of the horror stories I'd read have happens and my skin is clearing up nicely.  I still have those little purple/red dots deep under my skin but otherwise I've returned to normality!
