a seventh grader's dilemma

a seventh grader's dilemma.. or my seventh grade dilemma to be exact... so there was this boy... he was so cute...HOLDUP.. this is a beauty blog..so my dilemma was much different.. when i was in middle school i had typical middle school skin.. and that meant pimples mixed with extremely dry skin in the winter.. and i know you are thinking that combination skin isn't just the problem of a middle schooler...but the real problem was not knowing how to deal with it. in seventh grade i didn't wear makeup..so i knew nothing about those fancy concealers.. and i didn't understand the importance of a good skincare routine.. so the only thing i could do was get rid of the dry skin! unfortunately that was another thing i wasn't very well informed on.. i probably sound like a total dork..i mean it's lotion right? how do you mess that up!? well i picked a lotion, Suave's moisturizing body lotion in sun-ripened raspberry.. a scent that i loved.. but there was a problem.. a specific word in general...BODY... so this lotion...which was not meant for my face.. just made my skin worse.. it took a while for me to realize (and a few helpful hints from my mother) that what i needed was a moisturizer meant specifically for my face.. i've gone through several of those..and am now currently using Clean and Clear's Morning Glow (OIL FREE) moisturizer. i use this every morning after washing my face.. it definitely makes my face feel more awake and brightens up sleepy skin..it even has spf 15.. so now thankfully, i am able to deal with dry skin without breaking out like crazy!
