Skincare Routine Monthly Check-in: May 1, 2018

Currently in PANIC mode as my COMPLETE forehead has broken out into small tiny clumps of acne. It is terrible, it is horrendous, and I have no idea what brought it on. I was thinking it was something new I introduced, but then my whole face would be reacting, not just my forehead. Then I thought it would be from the boyfriend kissing my forehead too much, but nah, I have a minimalist, but still cleanse, tone, moisturize there at his place. So I don't know, stress? I am stressing out even more, this is a poor way of staying within the stress pimple cycle.

1. Oil Cleanser: None! Got Kose Speedy in the mail, but more for my sister who actually wears make-up. Tried it twice. It's ok, I guess?
2. Water-based Cleanser:  Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel cleanser, finished up Lagom's Gellup Gel to Water Cleanser, seeing if I want to try another one that's in my closet. Maybe from the Club Clio close-out.
3. Hydrating Toner:  Mizon's AHA/BHA toner, not really digging it at all. Miss Missha's Clear Toner instead.
4. Active: Mizon's 8% Peeling Gel AHA/BHA, hardly used it this month, just didn't have time to squeeze it in. Have been doing it nightly since PANIC mode started two days ago.
5. First Essence -  Secret Key's Starting Treatment Essence smells like nail polish remover to me. Not really seeing any results, but rather, feel like I'm patting in nail polish remover smell each even. Miss my SK-II. Have the special year of the dog edition I should start soon.
6. Serum: The Ordinary's Squalane doesn't sink in the same. Just feels greasy. Maybe I'll try rosehip next, but I don't care for squalane as much as I used to with the other brand.
7. Eye Creams: Algenist white in the evening, sometimes. The lines under my eyes feel like permanence and I try to not smile as hard as I usually do, out of fear that I'll make them stronger, deeper, permanent. 
8. Moisturizer: AM: Shangpree's Bitgoa Hue Rich Cream, it's ok. Unremarkable, would not purchase again. PM: Body Merry's Retinol Surge Moisturizer which I got on a lightning deal via Amazon. It makes my face tingle more then the 8% AHA/BHA that I occasionally use.
9. Sleeping Pack: Not really these days.
10. Sunscreen: Peripera Oil Capture Peach Sun Finisher with SPF 50/PA+++, is still hanging out, haven't used it in a while. Lately been using and trying to use up the Neogen Dermalogy Day-Light Protection Sun Screen, never really got used to the Neogen sunscreen. Sure, it applies ok, but it just wasn't for me with that citronella smell. Used it a lot on vacation. STILL LOVE BAE BIORE and have been using that in the morning.

We're transitioning straight from winter into summer. Where is my spring, gosh darnit! I want my spring.
