Do you ever wake up in the morning,
look in the mirror and think oh 'h to the no’! We'll that was me a month ago
when I woke up to discover some mammoth spots on my face. The spots had also
clearly invited some of their friends to play in the form of uneven skin tone,
clogged pores and bumpy surface.
Skin, and more specifically my issue with my skin, plus my breakouts and scarring is a topic I have touched on here in the past.
More recently I talked about my hyperpigmentation in this post, which so many
of you seemed to resonate with.
I was really fired up after that post and
determined to start my journey. One week later I was armed and ready, and 3
days after that I had a serious reaction to a product that left me needing to
take a course of antihistamines, loads of omega 3 fish oils and to go on the Dr
Perricone 3 day diet, which consisted of mainly salmon, berries and salad. It calmed
my skin down after a few days but left me terrified to use anything for a
while. Just when I thought my skin was returning to normal is when I woke up
and discovered my skin looked like a bit of a hot mess and needed to be sorted
out.
Skin is such a touchy subject, especially when you
don't feel that you have the best of skins. No matter how much we try to shy
away from it, our image or our perception of our image plays a big part in how
we feel and can dictate and define our mood, confidence etc. We all have to
show our skin (especially our faces) to the world everyday and let's face it
even the least vain of us would always like to put a clear and smooth face
forward.
So I decided that enough is enough!
Rather than putting a plaster on a wound that
really needs stitches, or in this case rushing out to purchase more lotions and
potions, I took a step back and did what I should have done a very long time
ago. I decided I needed to learn.
