Beauty Tips For Body Care
I just got my eyebrows and lip waxed at a new place nearby. The lady who did my eyebrows didn't have very nice eyebrows herself, so I was a little worried and made sure to emphasize that I like the form, just needed them to be cleaned up. It's NYE and I didn't have any other option. Well, my eyebrows turned out fine. However, the lady was extremely rude.She immediately asked me if I'm doing anything for my acne.I have always had a bit of acne. I believe it's hormonal. Along my cheekbones. I had clear skin when I used birth control for a year 2 years ago, and maintained it after I got off of it with a good routine and diet. But then, it went crazy in September for a myriad of possible reasons like stress, seasonal changes, change of air.I eventually decided to try Differin, because even when my skin was pretty clear, I still had closed comedones.I'm a month along, so my skin is not ideal, purging and stuff...I had put sunscreen on before the appointment (everywhere else on my face, not where I would be waxed), which is pretty rich, so my skin looked kind of greasy.She told me that I wasn't taking good care of my skin. That I shouldn't be using such a rich sunscreen if my skin is already oily.well, my skin isn't oily! Well, I have combination skin, so it gets oily throughout the day, but lately it's dry from the differin! It only looked oily because I just put a rich sunscreen on.And that just made me so upset. She doesn't know how much time I spend browsing this subreddit and other blogs. How many products I have. What my routine is. What factors like genetics and hormones (OH, JUST GOT MY PERIOD TODAY, BTW) are at play...I will not quit differin until I give it the whole three months. I can see the closed comedones slowly surfacing like they must... I will be patient and not let this scenario damper my start of 2019...Oh, and by the way, even though I avoided putting the differin cream on my mustache area and eyebrows for a couple weeks before the waxing, they still are very sensitive, more than usual. No skin was ripped off, but definitely is more irritated than usual. I could not put on anything to sooth it without it burning besides aquaphor.
