Rusty
In a sad and futile attempt to break my addiction to Sephora and higher end beauty products, I went to the local Target to replace my face moisturizer and left with a bottle of
Aveno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer. This was a mistake and will likely drive me straight back to the loving embrace of little black bags and price tags that make my bank account cry.
While the Aveeno daily moisturizer does have some benefits, I appreciate the SPF 15 as one whose reaction to direct sunlight is only slightly less drastic than one of Anne Rice’s vampires. And it does help my skin feel less dry and tight during these winter months which is also nice. For the other benefits, I can’t say much for them.
I went through a weird period this summer where my forehead rebelled and decided to start sending me messages in braille. Given that I don’t read braille, this was a confusing decision and I wasn’t thrilled with having a forehead suddenly full of clogged up pores where once there had just been (mostly) smooth skin. I tried a lot of things to get through it, but what finally worked was Bioré Steam Activated Cleanser.
