Daily Routine, Tuesday 4/15

These pictures of me without makeup on
the internet are really starting to scare me.

Cycle Day #4
Skin Condition in AM: Normal
Skin Condition in PM: Dry Patches on Chin
Washed Hair: No

Observations and Additional Information:
No new blemishes today so that is awesome! The chin is starting to heal nicely too. I'm really liking my routine right now. I definitely feel like cutting out the fatty alcohols was a step in the right direction. I'm going to have to address it in my conditioner soon or else I'm going to continue to break out in my hairline. Of course that could have to do with the fact that I CANNOT STOP PICKING AT THE SPOTS IN MY HAIRLINE (ya think, Megs?!).

I gave my chin some extra attention tonight during the mineral oil cleanse - used the baby washcloth as a physical exfoliator for the dry patches. Suspect they may be from the differin, but it's strange that they're just showing up this afternoon. Toyed with the idea of breaking out the Clarisonic Mia, but ultimately decided I may aggravate my skin more. Too many new products within the last week to also add real physical exfoliation into the mix.

These pics are not in natural light as the sun had already set by the time I finally washed my face. Only thing on the face at this point was the C15. You can't see the dry flakes here - also wondering if that had to do with the BB cream/powder combination. See FOTD from 4/15 for details.
