Out, Damned Spot(s)…

Okay, so maybe Lady  Macbeth wasn’t talking about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation when she said, “Out, damned spot!”,  but hey it’s my blog and I’ll reinterpret literary classics however I see fit! Post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation is the bane of my existence. Apparently my skin ain’t about that life and when I say that life I am referring to the life of clear, smooth, envious perfection. Seriously, whether I dry out or pop the pimple (I know TMI) it almost always leaves a scar.

 

Le sigh, why won’t my skin let me be great? I must confess however, some of those pimples may be warranted. In truth, I don’t always properly remove my makeup and I could definitely be a little more diligent in my skin care practices in general (see previous post) and I must also eradicate these damn spots. Enter my new skin care regimen!

Face Wash: Cetaphil

Toner: Clinique Clarifying Lotion (not pictured)

Moisturizer w/SPF: Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer

Exfoliation: Olay Pro-X system  and occasional 15% glycolic peel (purchased from Makeup Artists Choice)

Dark spot correctors:  Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution (use in the AM underneath moisturizer) and Murad’s Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum (in the evenings)

I will also use bareMinerals Active Cell Renewal Night Serum post peel.

I intend to dedicate at least one post  per month keeping updating you guys on my skin’s progress. Here’s to great hair and beautiful skin to match!
