I really wish my skin would clear up. I haven't broken out like this in... well, I honestly don't know if I have ever broken out like this. I never broke out while in puberty. It HURTS. My sinuses are going batshit crazy, my nose hurts from it, my ears are infected because my sinuses are so back up and NOW................. NOW MY SKIN IS UNDER

seriously.

[starrzinhereyez]

Thank you! How long have you been using this method?

It's weird - I've always had terrific skin, only a little dry in the t-zones. This sounds like it could clear it up.

Does your skin feeling oily afterwards?

[shutter]

i've been using it for about two weeks now. i have an oily t-zone, so i use the 75% castor to 25% olive & my skin doesn't feel oily at all afterwards. it's very soft.

i still get a few little pimples here & there, but they clear up very fast. this method stopped my hormonal breakout in its tracks.

Awesome. I usually only one big red zit on the end of my nose or something as a monthly fuck you courtesy of my horomones. I'm going to try to go to Planned Parenthood next week on one of my days off to see what kind of deal we can work out in regards to the cost of birth control. I had a live-in boyfriend and it's absolutely ridiculous for me not to be on BC right now.

Do you used regular castor oil or cold pressed?

[shutter]

right now, i'm using regular ol' drugstore castor oil, but i picked some cold pressed stuff up from the healthfood store last week. i haven't tried it yet, though.

[starrzinhereyez]

Awesome. Any other natural beauty secrets that you should let me in on?

[shutter]

hmm. brown sugar is a good exfoliant & apple cider vinegar + water is a good toner :>

[starrzinhereyez]

i'm assuming that one does not wet the brown sugar first...

[shutter]

i wet my face before i use it.

yummiest exfoliant ever.

[starrzinhereyez]

I wonder how my face would react. I once made the mistake of using toffee on my tits (I was sixteen and experimenting with really stupid, cheesy group eroticism but the wimps were all too wimpy to go any further) and they broke out like a motherfucker the next day.

I suppose the areola is quite different than the face, though.

[shutter]

hahaha, oh man.

i assume that if you don't have over sensitive skin, you'll be okay. if your skin is indeed sensitive, you could wet your hands before you put the brown sugar on them & let it dissolve a little so it's not so harsh.
