Wedding planning causes stress (ows? Di nga?!). For most of us, this means less sleep and more breakouts. I’m particularly conscious about it, because I frequently get skin bumps.
I have very sensitive skin, well, that’s an understatement. I tend to break out a lot when I was younger. If I can thank my mom for anything else aside from paying for my education, it will be the weekly visit to the dermatologist. The doctor never got to ‘cure’ the problem, but at the very least, it was controlled. Instead of having 10 new zits daily, I just have 9? LOL! I went there so often, and spent hours inside the clinic just waiting for my face to get a good pricking. Ouchy Saturdays, always! That’s been my life for years, even after college *sniff.* The episodes never really went away; I still get the bumps, but because I’ve gone through worse days, I’m just thankful that they are not as obvious or as many.
Despite my laziness, skin care is something I just can’t skip; after all, ito ang susi to lesser breakouts. The usual routine will be to cleanse, tone and moisturize, but I’ve never really liked the toners in the past. The derma provided a toner before, and it stings. It causes my face to have red patches and makes it raw which just adds more to the problem. I’ve survived the last decade without using any toner, so far so good -- well that was what I thought.
