Video and regimen update
Jan. 14th, 2011 01:53 pmHere's the wrap-up video I promised, although I got a little tilted at the end:
Anyway, moving on: I decided to keep my current facial regimen simple. I don't want to poke the dragon until it breathes fire at me again, so here's what I currently use:
Bath gel/wash: Pretty much anything I want. I favor Suave, Bath and Body Works, and Lush, but it's whatever.
Face washing: Bar soap, which I never, ever used before I started Accutane. I prefer Yardley but I also like Dove or anything from Lush. Currently I'm using some Snowcake that Jay sent me.
Moisturizer: Aveeno with SPF 15. It's very light. If I feel I need more, I use Nivea Soft moisturizing cream.
Lotion: At first, I was going with scentless lotion from Vaseline, but now I let myself use fun scented stuff. Currently I have a mandarin scent from Suave!
Makeup:: I still use Bare Minerals, which has been the kindest on my skin. Under it, I use a green stick by NYC to cover up my red, and a concealer from Mary Kay, just to even out my skin tone. Then I use the Bare Minerals on top.
Misc: Baby wipes to remove makeup, also the Bio Oil Experiment (TM)
