Day25 - I'm going to lay it Bare.

Friday, Jan. 25, 2008: Altoona: Bare Minerals

I'm not a big makeup girl - anyone of you can attest to that. But this comes highly recommend by some friends and I thought I would give it a whack. On a scale of 1-10 of sensitivity, my body is at 7 and my face is at 8.5. Some liquids make my skin red, other moisturizer burn.  This being mostly natural I thought that it would work out pretty well, and for the most part it did.

One problem is that any mineral make-up will lay on top of your skin seeing that it is a powder. In general, most liquid foundations will do this to me too, leaving me looking like a wax doll with paint smeared on. Because of the obscene amount of water I drink during the day, the new facial cleanser I bought earlier this year and more diligent moisturizing - dry skin had not been a great big problem for me. But within the last 2 weeks, between girly monthly stuff and wall to wall wooden floors, my skin has taken a nose dive into break outs and peeling. To try and combat that I bought this:

This is not the exact Jason's moisturizer I wanted to try. This is this, but they didn't have it. What I did by did a really good job of keeping my face looking ok over night. Usually it does not burn, but last night I scrubbed a little more than usual and I felt some tingling. It isn't making me break out, so I'll keep with it.

Girly stuff. It's weird to actually post about anything like this, but I guess that is a sign of growth and that is what it's all about.
