Dilemma: Skin care
I know, it's nothing serious but I have to wonder- will it make a difference if I do all the anti aging, moisturizing, cleansing, toning, exfoliating, blah blah blahs? I don't like my birthday already, so what happens when I have wrinkly birthdays? Will I stress out that much more?
My mom looks pretty good. She uses Zest on her face, in the shower... I don't think I know anyone that uses a full skin care regime. (Probably because it's expensive and time consuming, and a little gooey.) Will I look 'pretty good' if I just keep using Rowan's baby wash? Baby wash, by the way, does not seem to be reducing my acne. Go figure. Maybe I should try diaper cream- it reduces redness and irritation right?
Confession: I used diaper cream on my hands last night. Desitin may not work on my kids bums but my hands sure felt better... and that wonderful french manicure that comes with it...
Anyway. Back to business.
Currently we are moving into the skin chapter at school. It is actually the most difficult and thorough chapter in the entire book and should take forever. I am so excited! I love skin- especially facials and make up. I would love to be a make up artist... and I don't even need a cosmetology license for that! Anyhow, every chapter I find myself doing my own personal version of research. I have all the fake nail junk I need to suit up a prom, hair stuff galore -and oh how I always need more- and now skin.
Need I tell you how extensive this research could be? Let's just sum it up- anyone who needs anything from Beauticontrol call me... I bought a pack for school facials, mini manis and mini pedis and now have access to a good discount for two more weeks (that means my research cost me enough to benefit you. Read as 'sucker' although this time I had pre planned and was not impulse buying. I guess I am not a 'sucker' for once!)... the discount is all yours. As long as you promise to tell me if you are looking as young as you feel!
Another personal dilemma: I confessed at girls night about a class I want to take (only because I think it could be fun...I have no idea why it would be fun, but it strikes me that way... I couldn't tell if people got what I was trying to say) and am now living in fear that the women in my ward think I am a nut. Or a creeper. Their faces said it all and I wished right away that I never let out my secret! I feel sick.
That's a new word I learned this week. Creeper. But I don't think I want to be a creeper. That sounds... creepy. And weird. And old man-ish. And ickky.
I had to tell Randy not to be worried if people gave him weird looks on Sunday.... When do I quit embarrassing myself in public? Ever? Why can I never shut my mouth and keep my weirdest ideas to myself?

this was a really good read
I pretty much NEVER wash my face, have really dry skin, and TOTALLY expect to be wrinkly...I only take comfort in the fact that I don't worship the sun and cake on the sunscreen when exposed to the sun for extended periods...
but now I'm dying to know what this class was...
and I always think I embarrass my husband but he never thinks so...yay
Beth, I did NOT think you were weird the other night. I think it sounds like it would be fun and I've heard that it's a pretty good workout, too. I just don't think I would ever be confident enough to do it. But if you want to do it, then go for it!
No Beth, you will never stop embarrassing yourself. It's your talent and gift in life, to make others laugh :D. So what is the class you want to take...I want to laugh... :D
I'm dying to know the class too! Also, I found a great face wash at the recommendation of a friend and it cleared up my acne (until of course I traveled for a months straight, but it's clearing up again). Its by PurMinerals. But I can't remember which one it is. If you're interested email me.
Beth I never starting using anything on my face till I started noticing that it was starting to feel not so soft and my breakouts were just about gone. I now use a night lotion and one for the day that has spf 15 in it. I'll have to go look at it and then let you know what it is. But again with keeping it clean and a moisturizer you probably don't need goopey creams and scrubs and such.
Beth, youre my sister and always say off the wall, embarrassing things... thats just you =) we all find it funny and not really too embarrassing.
I want to know what you said though.. I am mighty curious as to why Heather Gray says she wouldnt be confident enough to do it... tell me!! You can text it to me?! Ya?
what was the class you wanted to take??? I am so in suspense! My guess is, belly dancing. Am I right???
Have fun with skin. I recently bought a skin revitalizer which I know is ridiculous. But I'm a fan too.
Sorry Kristin, already took the belly dancing class- for a Relief Society Night- so hilarious, I got sweaty which I was so not expecting... core muscles were outrageously sore. From laughing or dancing I couldn't tell!
You want to take one of those pole dancing aerobics classes, don't you? (those are great workouts, from what I hear...)
Don't worry about using Desitin on your hands, I actually use Lansinoh Lanolin on mine when they are really bad, that stuff is great in these dry winters!
I think as far as the wrinkles go, it is all about good sun care and keeping it clean, but what do I know?
