Beauty Tips For Body Care
Story time!Context: I do facials every Sunday, alternating between Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay and Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial each week.Last night I decided I wanted to try the Pore Cleansing Method where you use a BHA (Stridex in the red box for me), wait 20-30 min, use a clay mask (Aztec Secret + ACV) and then use an oil to get the grits.Well, I started multitasking after using the Stridex, and 45 min ended up passing. When I went to use the clay, my little mixing bowl was missing. So I completely forget what I'm doing (thanks ADHD!) and decide "whatever, I'll just use Babyfacial as my mask tonight, nbd." Then, I start multitasking again, and 45 min goes by! I wash it off, everything seems normal.Since I left it on so long, I decide to cover my face in moisturizer (CeraVe Moisturizing Cream) and some squalane and hop in a steamy shower. Later, I am laying in bed when I notice my skin drank up the moisturizer and THAT is when I realize that I doubled up! I run to the bathroom and my skin looks fine, but a little dry with a few flakes in my trouble spots. So I load up on moisturizer and squalane again.I woke up this morning and my skin was GLOWING! My (admittedly already faded) PIH is nearly gone.Here I am, in my over exfoliated glory after a little bit of Thayer's witch hazel in my t-zone and Timeless CE Ferulic all over.Not advocating that people do this, just a funny anecdote about a mistake that turned out well!
