So yesterday night, I mistook one tiny bump on the cheek to be a milia seed and I took a pair of fine scissors, those you cut your hair with, use the sharp end to scratch and poke at it. While poking, I realise that it is not a milia seed but another ordinary little bump which will fade/disappear in a couple of days -_-

(And if anyone tried poking, one would realise that the bump doesn't feel like pimple, it can't be squeezed nor popped easily. I used the scissors because people use needles to poke milia seeds but eh, I'm much less afraid of the paper cutter than needles.)

Anyway, after choosing my well beloved weapon, I procceeded to treat the bump like milia for another 5 minutes. So when I decided to stop stabbing (weird but true) the sharp end into my skin as I realised I was much mistaken, it was too late -_- Even though the bump faded, it was replaced with this red, floaty patch of irritation. And bah, I was whining about my easily irritated skin condition at my previous post D:

Applied random creams and gels and whatevers on the spot out of desperation.

1. Washed my face.
2. Slapped a thicckkk layer of Jorubi aloe vera gel after that to soothe the irritation.
3. Applied Cetaphil moisturising lotion next.
4. I then dabbed The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil on it.
5. Then Carmex which is said to relieve cold sores and chapped lips, even though irrelevant to the irritation.
6. Prosacea Rosacea Treatment Gel which helps to reduce redness and bumps. My life saver everytime (Y)
7. After that was Olay Definity Anti-Spot Treatment Night in case of scary pigmentation.
8. Finally, I settled with GNC Vitamin E and slept.

And I woke up this morning only to have a scratch greeting me :D Even though I felt the scratch was quite deep (due to the stabbing obviously) and I was certain that it would still leave some sort of pigmentation, but at least no bumpy bumpy irritation whoooooo! I am not sure whether which of the 8 steps worked la, or maybe none worked at all (which means all those were unnecessary) but eh cannot take chances bahahha. So I'm happy, even though I'm stupid.

Oh die. I've 2 diploma modules to complete this December, starting from today ):

This post doesn't really concern anyone. Just another irregular update on my skin so I know how to deal with it later on in the future whooo. But come to think of it, my posts are always about me, like how others' are only about others anyway. Bah.

So I have this really sensitive, oily combination skin. If I used any wrong products (too strong or too rich or too whatever), there would be this dry, red, patchy and shiny (?!??!) irritation on my cheeks going on for a few days. And all this started because of that Clean&Clear facial cleanser? Because my parents couldn't stand how senstive my skin was/is, they decided to throw me at some doctor who specialise in the skin.

Anyway, the clinic's products are not bad I think, it's only the second month of my treatment, or whatever it is called, and the doctor told me I needed four months.

And it cost almost 200 bucks for 2 months worth of products for the second visit which I'm using right now. Cost my mum 100+ for the first visit for the trial products. Was told that it would cost almost $300 for my third visit which would only last for 3 to 4 months.

The point is. I am not spending like 1000 bucks, or rather, I'm not making my parents spend those money if my skin does not improve at the rate I want it to be. There's slight improvement in my skin but not really significant enough to make it worth the price my mum paid for. I'm not unreasonable to expect miracles la but eh, at least something better?

Will switch to Clinique after I finished my current set. The Clinique 3-Step Skincare regime only costs around 100 bucks and I will be given samples too :D

And the cause of this post is, Clean&Clear. Damn.
