My Acne is gone!! Temporarily ;)

Gosh it has been a long time since my last post, sorry :)


I have finally got the Cover FX Acne Treat & Conceal Set. I LOVE it.  I have tried all sorts of concealers to even out my red-santa-claus-nose, chin, brown patches and redness,scars from acne and acne itself. From store labels to stage make up like Ben Nye. I like BN to cover under eye blue bags but it was not good to cover my Acne on my extremely oily skin. I got my extremely oily skin due to the hormonal change in my puberty years and now in my 30-s it's still ON :( 
So the make up melts on my face in half an hour after applying it. Oh how many tricks I have tried and the things I did... 
 But finally an answer to my make up worries - Cover FX.  You can read about Cover FX on www.coverfx.com, in short it is a professional camouflage make up used for skin disorders. 
          My Cover FX Acne Treat & Conceal Set. The 1st travel friendly 4 piece Acne and blemish set includes Clearprep FX Matte Foundation Primer and Anti-Acne Treatment 15 ml, Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer 15 ml, Matte FX Oil Absorbing Powder 12g, Clean FX MakeUp Cleansing Solution 55ml. This set is availible in three shades. I have bought it on line at House of Fraser (I think its the only place in UK that sells it), they also have a stand at the shop in Oxford Street in London. 
        I have tested it same day by going to 2 hour extreme power fitness class. Usually my face would be like somebody poured a bottle of oil on my face and no way I could wear any make up. But with this stuff the make up I had was still almost perfect! My skin did get oily but nothing that one clean&clear tissue wouldn't fix :D 
One thing, the concealer is very light so I do need to use or foundation or a pigmented powder to put some colour on my face and even it out. I use Clinique oil absorbing powder(quite useless for oil on its own) on top and it is good, but currently saving some money to buy a mineral foundation from Cover FX. 
    So if you have any of these skin conditions
ACNE, BLEMISHES,OILY SKIN, BIRTHMARKS,BRUISING,BURNS,ECZEMA,MELASMA,PSORIASIS,ROSACEA, REDNESS, BROKEN CAPILLARIES,SCARS,SKIN CANCER,SUN DAMAGE,TATTOOS,UNDEREYE CIRCLES,VARICOSE VEINS,VITILIGO and want to be able to cover them I am certainly recommend you to try The Cover FX.

At home SPA day for my acne ;)

Monday... We stayed in today doing pretty much nothing. I gave up on keeping the house spotless clean a long time ago, keeping it relatively clean but the mess seems to never end. I have tidied up 3 times today but it still messy. I've tried everything, I think, to teach my girls to put things away when they don't use them any more but ... they still don't!!  Any recommendations????

Anyways... Girls asked for a smoothie and their today's recipe was: juiced apples, pears, plums and carrots mixed with  smoothed banana and strawberry. Yum! And when I was tidying up after the making I looked at the bums of strawberries and remembered my aunt. She used to smother strawberries and other fresh foods all over her face :) So I took the leftovers,mashed them with a fork,added some raw unpasteurised honey, pure Pearl powder and Calcium Bentonite Clay. Spread on my face with fan mask brush and left it for I-don't-know-may-be-an-hour (but usually 15-20 min). After rinsing I put an Aloe Vera gel straight from the plant's leaf. Check here for more details on it. at the moment my skin looks quite good but the acne parts look worse.As they say - ''people notice that their acne appears to worsen before it improves.  Don't panic if this happens to you!  This is a good thing!''  I do hope so!!!


P.S. I have suffered with adult acne for almost 2 years now. It came with my first period when my youngest daughter was 11 months old. I have tried Dermalogica, Clinic (thats the one I will go back to if natural stuff won't work), Clearasil, pharmaceutical, prescribed by GP  and many other ones. I am on the mission to find the cure!
