Over the course of the last two months, or so, my face has been that of a disgusting 13 year old, pubescent boy.
Had to.
I've honestly had the worst time with it and this is the first time in my life I've had to deal with anything of this nature, and I know that sounds obnoxious but it's the truth. I was #blessed with nearly flawless skin. Well, I was until about two months ago.
Over the course of the last two months I've been hitting the Clarisonic harder than a guido hits the gym, I've been careful what I put on my face, I even bought a face wash regiment to leave at bear's house to assure I wasn't forced to sleep in my makeup. Speaking of that last part, I was convinced that was going to solve my issue because I was sleeping in my makeup more often than normal when bear and I first started dating. Such a convenient time for my face to start looking like a zoo, right? Neither here nor there, none of it worked.
So, I did what any other chick with a random face problem would do, I obsessed over every last thing that touched my face until I figured out what was causing WWIII up in this mofo.
Now, maybe if I watched more CSI shows I would have gotten to the bottom of this case a lot sooner because it really wasn't that difficult to figure out. But, alas, those CSI shows give me the mad creeps and so my face product investigation skills were a little lacking.
Granted if it had to do with bear, I would have gotten to the bottom of it in less than an hour. Cut me some slack though, I've had years of practice in the boy investigation skills area. I am a female, after all.
The first thing I cut out was my beloved Revlon PhotoReady foundation, which was the most devastating thing for me because I love the stuff. Yes, I said devastating. I'm a very rational person, as you know.
Thank sweet baby Jesus, this wasn't the issue. My face continued to look like a pizza and now it was even worse because I couldn't use the world's greatest cheap foundation to cover that shit up.
The very last thing I decided to try cutting out was Revlon's PhotoReady BB cream, though I was positive that wasn't going to do anything because the point of BB cream is light coverage and shit, right? Wrong.
Blog, meet the culprit and my face's arch nemesis:
When I started using this stuff it was, pretty much, a daily thing for days when I wasn't feeling up to a full face off makeup. Instantly I noticed it made my face a little bit greasy but I figured that was just because it had some type of moisturizer in it. Aside from that, I liked that I could use it as a lighter alternative to foundation so I continued using it regularly.
Fast forward to two months later, I can't keep my face blemish free.
I do my CSI work, stop using the stupid BB cream, and guess what? I'm back to my old #blessed skin. Womp womp womp womp times a million.
So, now what the shit do I do? Are all of these BB cream fad things the same? Are the all going to make my skin hate life?
For once I actually really am asking for your recommendations. Tell me what you know (What you really, really know.) about this BB cream shit so I don't have to do more trial and pizza face error, and waste all of my monies that I don't have.
