My face was still burning this morning. Finally figured out that it wasn't the jojoba oil - it was being in direct sunlight for several hours yesterday - somehow didn't put two and two together about that - I suppose because it's only every full moon Ireland has a sunny day. So yup - it was sunlight. Have pretty sallow skin - so this is a new feeling...
Skin continued to burn throughout today - switched back to aveeno today as I had a rather large function to go to and didn't want to risk jojoba having possible adverse effects. Most of the new actives from yesterday went down, however, a few others popped up to take their place - again, mainly in the chin/nose/mouth region. There were several points today where they all came to a head (oh joy) - and I had to slump off to the nearest bathroom to take care of them in between talking to people, which is always such fun.
Can I just mention HOW RELIEVED I will be when I can face a public mirror without a sense of impending doom/horror????? Just the worst feeling. Sometimes I think maybe I'm being too hard on myself and my skin is better since the last time I checked a mirror - and I'll be feeling more confident and talking to people more - only to find out, when next I do look in a mirror, that I was mistaken and the retroactive embarrassment hits me like a ton of bricks.
Anyway - the burning feeling continued throughout the day, whiteheads came and went and my skin's started to feel very itchy. Tonight's the first time I've my skin starting to get dry - that tight, hot feeling when I move my face in any way... may have to take the plunge with jojoba oil tomorrow.
I'm going to be an extra in a film on Monday and so am PRAYING that my skin gets better before then. Not only am I afraid that someone in hair/makeup will comment on the state of my skin - but am also terrified of not having access to a proper mirror to fix my face between shoots. Wish me luck!!!!
Skin
4 new actives (whiteheads that went up and down throughout the day)
other spots going down

Burning feeling from getting sun yesterday

Good luck for Monday, too. Sounds like it could be fun. Enjoy!
