Wow

It's been one hell of a long time since I posted anything! As an update for all my acne stuff, I've had mediocre success with them all, they tend to slip back into breakouts. It's as if my body figures it out and starts to ramp up the acne again (boo). I've recently returned from a trip to New Brunswick and I've started a regimen from a soapery I went to. The soapery is called Olivier and they do sell products online. Their stuff is organic and as natural as possible and I had a tour of their facilities which showed that they do a lot of things by hand. Their bar soaps so far I've found to not be very harsh and they can be used for hair without needing any rinses like an ACV rinse. My face has broken out like mad over my vacation though (I was being bad I picked). The regimen is a sage soap twice a day with a lotion that has essential oils for acne. There's also a tonifying spray that you can spray throughout the day. I'll let you know how it all turns out if I remember to.

Update.
Wasn't faithful to this one and everything just kinda got put in a drawer.... It was nice stuff to use though I do recommend trying it. I use the soap now just for washing int he shower and it doesn't leave residue or dry out my skin.

Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream: Day 1

I went camping to Rock Point provincial park yesterday and the day before and I decided to go to the beach. It was a lovely day, the water was a nice temperature and the beach wasn't too busy. I tried a new SPF 30 sport spray sunscreen and happened to get burned on my shoulders and neck, as well my skin on my arms and back were generally parched. It started to really bug me so I took a couple friends and went into Dunville, the closest big town in search of groceries and after sun lotion. I didn't happen to find anything besides chemical laden fake green aloe gel, and a friend pointed out Noxzema so I thought heck, I'll try it. I didn't end up using it till I got home, and by then I had the comfort of my own after sun creams. What I did do though was try it on my face as a cleanser. It felt quite nice and left my skin moisturised. That was last night. This morning my skin is still moisturised and my acne isn't apparent or red. I'm going to put Noxzema on a two week trial run and see how it goes. I have the Original Deep Cleansing Cream that comes in a blue tub. Not sure if I'm going to be able to find it in stores near where I live (Dunville is an hour away and kind of out in the country), But I'll try. So far I'm finding it quite nice so if it continues nice results for me I will stick with it :) I really hope I find something and settle with it soon I'm tired of switching my cleansing regime around constantly.

#1 Best thing so far:
moisturised, shine free, and clear looking skin

#1 Worst thing so far:
None!

I'll be washing my face with Noxzema nightly for two weeks. We'll see where this goes...
