Breakouts
So... Reluctantly, I tried to use Ambi exfoliator on my face and I broke out soooo bad! So bad that I have to use concealer when I go out. My face hates exfoliation and I think it's because my eczema reacts really bad with it. I know my face has hated exfoliation since I tried to use St Ive's peach scrub and I had the most adverse reaction when I was a teenager. It happens everytime, but I always try to say "maybe not this time". Now that I know this, I know that my eczema reacts well to baby products, especially Johnson & Johnson. So, I'm moisturizing my face 2-3x a day and that has helped calm it down alot. My face gets so upset when I try to exfoliate it and it truly ends in turmoil for months actually. Although, the baby products calm it down alot, but it's still going to take some time for my face to fully heal and recover. Which is nobody's fault, but mine. Right now, I'm reading this book called 'A Family Affair' by ReShonda Tate Billingsley and I really like it. I have one more book to go before I have to return all my books to the library and get some more. My Achebe books came in today, so I have to go to Hoboken to go get them from my PO box. School is really becoming such a great learning experience and I'm learning alot. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I achieve my Bachelors, I'm going to be so bored with my life! School is my biggest distraction and I'm a little initimidated to get my master's. I feel like I don't have the tenacity (imposter syndrome) to achieve something as such. I know it's all in my head, but it was a thought that came up for me today. I also just did some research on doing a masters internationally (just looked it up 5 seconds ago) and they said it is easier to get a masters in another country, as compared to America. So, that's always something I can look forward to. But I seriously need to take things one day at a time.. I don't even have my Bachelor's but I'm already researching about my master's lol.
