Skincation is over

Still babying my skin, but it's pretty much back to normal. Been squeezing a Vit C session here or there.  My forehead is under control, my jawline is a mess but it's smoother. Everything is becoming smoothly, actually, so I don't need to document the basics anymore. Though I realize that some of my sheet masks are going to expire, or perhaps they already have. I'm just about to book another trip back to TW and so I'm going to use all these masks up. Invest in the ones I like the most: Leaders and Lovermore. Though I am not sure where to get Leaders next, that was a very lucky TJ Maxx find.

Other basics:

• Got another AHA BHA toner, which I realize isn't something I need since I don't truly use acids, but now I have one and a half bottles. CoxRx and Mizon. 
• Trying to use up my Sephora Play! samples that have their own make-up case. Didn't realize how many colors of lipsticks I owned until I opened the case up. I'm going to have to add the deluxe sample I just ordered from Sephora on hold. 
• Yeah, I spent another $60 at Sephora and I didn't even use my play card to get an extra 10 beauty points. They never have sales in the store. I got a sale tweezer (addicted to cute little tweerman patterned tweezers), a sale eyelash curler (my green one from Taiwan just isn't curling my lashes anymore), and the $40 traveler's kit.... which has even more samples that I am going to have to go through and use. I haven't even finished the last travel kit, but I broke the bag on this last vacation so I figured I would just get a new one.
• Can't tell is the Smoothie Peeling Jam is peeling my skin or just lots of the product on itself. My skin feels tight afterwards, so I always plump it back up with toner. 

Skincation Day 8: Gym time

Went to the gym this morning, so there's a double morning routine. Also, sweated my brains out, so here's to hoping it clears the junk that's making my skin crater city! Bad news is that I've started picking at my face now the swollen pimples have gone down for the most part. Picking at my bumps is bad news bears.

Morning Pre-Gym:

1. Good Morning Low pH CosRx face wash
2. Son&Park Beauty Water

Morning Post-Sweat Sess:

1. Caolion Blackhead O2 Sparkling Soap
2. Moistfull Booskin hydrating toner
3. Origins GinZing eyecream
4. Clinique Dramtically Different Lotion (cream in a pot)
5. Shiseido Senka Aging Care UV Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (Left BAE at home and wishing I didn't, just trying to use up this yellow tube for now).

Evening:

1. Tosowoong enzyme powder soap
2. Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask

Skincation Day 7: One Week~!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week since I came home and had my arsenal of skincare products to battle and work on improving my skin.

This morning:

1. Low pH Good Morning CosRx cleanser
2. SUM 37 MRCS
3. Son&Park Beauty Water

5. Mizon AIO Black Snail
6. BIORE is BAE sunscreen

Evening:

Then I passed out and really, that's all the effort I could make when I passed out, woke up at 3 am and passed out again.

Skincare Routine Monthly Check-in: August 1, 2017

So, I'm currently doing a lot more than usual and documenting my day-to-day skincare process en route to healing my face.

This means I get a pass because I don't have a usual routine yet, right?

See you next month then!

Skincation Day 6: Feeling Better

Too Much Fun in the Sun really did make a difference when I fell asleep with it on my face at my friend's house Friday night.

Morning:

1. Good Morning Low pH Cleanser
2. Kiehl's Tumeric Clay Mask in the shower (so it didn't really get to dry the whole way)
3. Son&Park Beauty Water
4. Moistfull Booskin toner
5. Caudalie Vinoperfect serum left my skin looking greasy so I used in lieu of moisturizer. 
6. BIORE IS BAE sunscreen. Seriously, how did I ever leave this sunscreen? I am so sorry I ever doubted you and now there's a new formula and I don't know if I'll like it as much. Sadface here for my very first world problem.

Evening:

1. ToSowoong facial cleanser
2. Kiehl's Tumeric Clay Mask
3. Holika Holika Smoothie Peeling Jam
4. AHA/BHA Clarifying Toner
5. Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C Plus E Ferulic Acid Serum
6. Son&Park Beauty Water
7. Moistfull Booskin toner
8. Tazorac

Last night, I felt like I could apply tazorac because my skin was greasy (which means less likely to get dry tret face), and because I have been seeing a slight improvement.  My forehead does not feel nearly as bumpy as before, the area under my eyes/high cheekbone triangle are now smooth. My jawline is still a mess, but 천천히 (chun-chun-hee), it will improve, I just know it now. Before I had no idea if my skin was going to bounce back, and though I've been made complete improvement, the progress is enough as long as it keeps progressing at this pace.
