My skin was TERRIBLE yesterday. So I took a long shower, saw all the redness and irritation, skipped my usual toner step, used Tazorac, waiting, used Missha's FTE (second bottle!!), and slapped on a LOVEMORE mask (my favorite brand so far).
The Lovemore mask was a rose brightening one. IT WORKED WONDERS. Honestly, I love those masks and each time they have saved my skin from something else.
Wore it with my silicon mask until I felt the edges by my cheeks dry. Then took off the silicon and waited for it to dray a bit more before I peeled it off. Followed my Mizon AIO Snail cream.
My skin was GORGEOUS in the morning compared to the bumpy red mess it was the day before.
Today though, I put some Missha FTE and waiting, so when I applied Tazorac is stung a little little bit. Then I waited a mini-drama episode worth of time (15 plus minutes) and then applied a hydrating toner (Chia Seed, yuck) it stung again!!!
Doesn't help that my nostril were chapped to bits because I am sick and have a runny nose. That stung, applying anything before and after the Tazorac stung. However, my sebum looks a lot better, a lot clearer and for that I am glad.
To counteract the pain and stinging, I decided to stay with the whole concept of masking post-Tazorac as to balance out the dryness of "tret-face." Keeping my skin moisturized as I am trying my best to heal it without dealing with comedones. (Please don't goggle "comedones" it's really the most unpleasant Google Images I've seen today. And I've watched Buzzfeed's gross video with extraction popping, which really was the GROSSEST thing, how is there even a niche market for people who like watching that sort of stuff. I'm mentally puking bile at the thought and I want that thought to be over so I am stopping now!)
Have a few skin-colored comedones on my face, the biggest on is between my eyebrows. Thought it was a mole or a skin tag (as those run on both sides of my family), but Dr. Myself has WebMD'd extensively to the point where I've come to terms with it being a comedone. Although I don't know how it got there... or when it appeared....
Cheers to tonight, as my My Beauty Diary Bird's Nest mask is drying over my tret-face. Masking daily is rather time consuming, but I'm enjoying myself.
