Skin

I am not sure where my "skin" post went...it was before my checklist.  This time of year the sun gets brighter, the weather warmer and I am outside A LOT!  Not only am I self conscious about my ass, my arms, my lovehandles and my legs (I DO NOT WEAR SHORTS), I also worry about this ginourmous patch on my face. I think it looks like a Groucho Marx mustache. Milove says he can't "see anything"..(that is what he is supposed to say). The Js say "we see something, but there isn't hair".  The mask of pregnancy lingers long after pregnancy.  I have melasma on my face...it almost disappears in the winter. The first time I go outside in the spring BAM (just like Emeril) it is there staring back @ me. I use creams, cleansers, lotions etc...they might work a bit....I know there are much bigger worries out there...but for during the few seconds I look in the mirror today applying make-up...this is my worry.  Elle, can you teach me how to use Bare Minerals...you have fab skin?  Homestead (if you are reading), have you tried it yet?

  1. We can compare skin stories. I'm growing a mustache. I look like an illegal farm worker.

    Send me a picture. I bet I won't be able to see it.

    However, I feel your pain with the ass & arms deal. It's too hot for all the clotheses I'm wearing . . . but I'm too, um, giant to go without an extra layer.

  2. Have you tried "stop signs" by Clinique? It worked on the giant spot on my nose from pregnancy. And everyone knows I am the cheerful Frieda Kahalo (sp?) when it comes to mustaches and monobrows. I look like Bert. I'm keeping Sally Hansen's stock up with my mustache waxing.

    I use Bare Minerals when I am going for the full-face effect. Love it. And just some tinted spf face lotion for everyday.
