It's a wash!

It's a wash!


Or, more accurately, a scrub.

I bought the Spawn a face scrub a while ago and thought I'd give it a try last night.

These masks have been taking a toll on my skin....

So, there I was!

Scrub in hand, I squeezed a small amount into my palm and started to smooth it across my forehead, chin, and nose.

"Oh, that's tingly."

Using my fingertips, I gently rolled the gritty particles across my skin and focused on the areas that needed the most help.

T-Zone....

Nose....

Chin....

Between sweat and oily skin beneath the masks, I managed to find myself with another pimple next to my nose and my skin hasn't had a breakout in years.

"Woah! I'm going to have to wash this off!"

What the hell was in this scrub? Eyes watering, skin tingling, I rinsed it off and patted my face dry.

Fast forward to this morning.....

"Aaah!"

It's not a good sign when the sight of your face startles you first thing in the morning.

Everywhere I had used the scrub my skin was red and tight. It's quite possible I removed more than just my dead surface skin cells......

"Oh my God, what was in that stuff??"

Salicylic acid.

Um, ok, I've used that before. It helps to keep skin clean and clear of pore clogging debris....

It has been years though.

Apparently my old skin isn't hearty enough to withstand a 's face scrub??

Good lord... Getting old is a bitch!

Looks like I'll need a burka today....

Happy Wednesday!

    Quoting TicklePlease:
    Oh god I found out the hard way 20 years ago that my skin is allergic to salicylic acid! I had a red rash that progressed to fucking PEELING on my face! Then it was rough for another week. I so hope you don't go through that.
So far, no rash and the peel is almost done. I will never use anything with salicylic acid in it again, it's just way too harsh on my skin. I remember using it in the past, I just think my skin has changed over the years. It was totally an eye opening experience.

It's all much better today. Sometimes, I kind of get tired of fighting, though....

There are a lot of people who have worse skin issues than I do, so I can't really complain about the maskne thing. But it is really embarrassing when they do pop out. I feel like a woman my age shouldn't have to worry about zits. Ugh!

If I want to look young and fresh I've gotta get rid of these damn eye wrinkles... Holy crap! I swear the mask is making my wrinklier.

It's already starting to return to normal. My daughter's used it and it worked just fine for her. I guess I've just developed sensitive skin in my old age.

    I use Zerobase emolient cream on my lower legs (dry skin). That works rally well.
My problem isn't dry skin right now... It's oily, sweaty skin. I've been wearing very little makeup but the stupid masks just kind of sit up against your skin and cause irritation. My biggest issue is around my nose.

    Oh my. I hate wearing a mask for even limited times. I've noticed the spot where mask and glasses collide is tough on my nose. Add that no matter which type of mask I use , my glasses fog up. Lol.
    I hope your skin heals up quickly.
It made it past the red phase and now it's starting to peel. I've found that the cloth masks that I bought at old Navy are thin enough to fit under my glasses tight against my skin so air doesn't go up when I breath and my glasses don't fog.

    For those of you that have to wear those mask all day, just think of all that bacteria that stays in your mouth { breath ) At this time I do a saltwater rinse at work and It shure helps
I have been wondering if all this mask wearing is affecting my dental hygiene. I'm going to have to try that saltwater rinse.... My teeth have always been super important to me.

    Hmmm... I was going to give some smartass remark, but faces are delicate and important to everyone's self esteem and well being.
    I understand EXACTLY what you mean. As someone who suffers from delicate skin, fucking up your face is NOT fun!
    Fortunately, facial skin heals quickly. I use a gentle face-cloth and that's it.
    Then again, I probably use less makeup than you. 🌹 🍷 🍷 😎 ❗
Everyone sees your face... Less of it now that we wear masks, but still. And, you're right, it does heal quickly. It's already kind of peeling a little, reminds a lot of a sunburn. Ugh!
