I've spent years trying different products with varied degrees of success and I still don't know what to answer when someone asks me what skin type I have. I've never been able to afford to get a proper analysis/facial/whatever done so it's my best guess. A little over a month ago my doctor (finally) diagnosed the acne-like rash on my face as Rosacea and told me that while I'm taking the medication to get rid of it I can't wash it with anything or put moisturiser on it, let alone make up. Then a few weeks ago still advice to amended to include "nothing but water on your face".
It's driving me mad because without moisturiser my skin is drying out and I can practically feel the build up of stuff that I'm normally washing off my face twice daily. Luckily if the urge to just were a mask around hits it's festival season here in Galway so most people will probably think I'm promoting something, instead of just being loopy.
I don't even want to know what reaction a dermatologist would have to my skin at the moment. But once I get the all clear I'm splurging on a proper facial and hopefully get some solid advice on what products to use on my skin.
Though this has reawakened my love of amazing Arabic eye make-up. It's such a mysterious and sultry look...in fact I'm pretty sure they had a bit about it in the second Sex And The City movie... I'm really looking forward to when I can play with all my make-up again and try out some of the gorgeous tutorials that people have shared with this. Though I suffer(ed) with the same heavy handedness that most people do when it comes to eye-liner; "I'll just fix that, and that, and that..."
