Skin stuff
O hay Flist girls,
So because I've grown sick of eating badly (yes, nothing but pasta for lunch and dinner just because someone else cooks it for you is not such a good idea), I've been following a salad regime for the last week, aided and abetted by Hannah. It was meant to be salad for all meals save breakfast, but that got old -- just salad for the main meal, which is pretty fun, actually. I like salads. >:
My other big obsession right now is my skin, kind of prompted by the sun destruction thing. Now, I take quite good care of my skin normally - exfoliating with Garnier mint scrub, moisturising with coconut butter and such, but I want to give it a bit of rejuvenation for spring and the increasingly lovely weather. I tried the whole avocado-based face mask thing a while back, but as my skin is kind of oily anyway (though not prone to spots), I ended up breaking out in some wonderful Vesuvian-esque spots.
Does anyone know of any good natural remedies or rejuvenation techniques for skin? I like the idea of a facial mask or something as we're having a girls' night tomorrow, replete with Bridget Jones and dark chocolate, but it can't be something that's going to cause a mass break-out the way the avocado did. My skin is Irish White and smooth, quite sensitive, but I'm not allergic to anything cosmetic or fruity or what have you.
Advice, plz.
