Ugh

I just went to pee, and the giant mirror in the bathroom tells an AWFUL sight.

My face and neck are WORSE than this morning.
*sighs*
I look like I've been badly beaten.
See, this morning instead of applying the white petrolium jelly goo, that's been keeping my face hydrated, I decided to go with the cream, the one that's supposed to stop itching. As my face was drying, and healing, I figured the cream, with extra moisture was the way to go.

Well it worked for about an hour. Now I look bloody awful.
To those seeing me tonight - never fear, I will be completely covered in makeup, which will totally cover everything, AND have the added benefit of being mosturizing too. I'm thinking I need to stop at CVS for a different powder, so not to aggravate anything if it is indeed myface powder causing this mess.

I'm sore - things are dry. I'm looking forward to getting home and washing my face, which will make a vast improvement.
This is part of the healing process - trust me it'll be much better tomorrow. I'm just horrified someone has to see me like this, and think I have an abuser in my closet. Maybe some goo before I leave the office (which will be soon)

YOu know, it was my own fault - I should have continued to use the stuff that WORKS, rather than thinking I didn't need to use it anymore. It's actling like an oil. It's meant for dry cracked skin, which is what I have, especially now.

If things don't improve I'll try the oil. I have some other stuff I used on my eyes quite a while back. I'm hoping this is the winddown, til next month. *sighs*

I just look awful, and I'm vain. *pouts*
