Beauty Tips For Body Care
Tl;dr, go to Trader Joe’s, their ultra hydrating gel moisturizer is better than neutrogena hydro boost gel and costs 9 dollars. If you wanna know way too much about my life, have fun with this nonsense, and I’m sorry in advance!I’ve never had great skin. For most of my life, my skin has been fine. Just fine. Never got a “oh my gosh you have amazing skin” from a drunk girl in a bathroom, no one has ever told me that I look glowy. I always had closed comedones, but not so many that they were horrific or really really bothered me. I washed my face only in the shower, with whatever I picked up at the drugstore that said “for oily skin”. I occasionally got a pimple, but usually just slapped some spot treatment on it and it usually vanished in a few days. Moisturized when i remembered to (so like every 5 days or so). My skin was fine. And then came the Breakup.The Breakup happened around three months ago, and it was (and sometimes still is) fucking awful. He was the first guy I ever really, truly loved, and who made me feel truly loved. In the end, we just weren’t right for each other. But the way it ended was fucking awful (mostly on his part honestly). And as soon as it happened, my skin went fucking psycho. Giant, bright red pimples all over my forehead, weird tiny red ones on my chin, random super dry scaly patches between and underneath my eyebrows; plus acne all over my shoulders! Because that’s what I needed as a freshly dumped 19 year old.I made an emergency appointment with my little brother’s derm and poured my soul out to the poor nurse assisting her, with her gorgeous face and her perfect skin and her engagement ring. The derm prescribed me doxycycline, epiduo for my face, and clindamyacin lotion for my shoulders and told me to find a good moisturizer. And thus came my intro to SCA.Holy fuck you guys love moisturizer. After a little bit of browsing, I figured I should probably set about finding a basic one with hyaluronic acid in it, so I started with the neutrogena hydrogel and liked it a lot! It really helped my skin, kept me from getting too dry on the epiduo, and was generally good. But I really wanted something that was similar, but had less fragrance and no color, two things I’m really sensitive to.And then I found it. In Trader Joe’s, while buying toffee covered pretzels, brie, and dried juicy mandarin oranges (yes those are my go to sadness foods. no i will not be judged). The Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer, with aloe and green tea extract. Holy shit. Not only does it have hyaluronic acid, aloe, and is fragrance and dye free, but it’s 9 dollars. NINE DOLLARS. My skin has never felt smoother or more hydrated in my life. I’m obsessed. I’m shouting it from the hilltops. GO TO TRADER JOES. THEY WEIRDLY MAKE REALLY GOOD FACE MOISTURIZER. My skin now looks so good and so much better than even before the Breakup happened that my ex tried to get back with me last week, and said I looked really good when he did it. I didn’t have any makeup on. But now I know my worth, and I told him no. Thank you, moisturizer.
