However, i started having them on my face, in the chin area, which was unusual. I treated them as usual, but they kept coming back. My doctor told me to stop using everything and start using one product a time to find out what it could be.
I didn't. Because it didn't bother me that much, because I didn't want to face that maybe I was allergic to make up (I quite like make up) and because I thought it would just stop one day. It didn't.
I did however tested new products, tested not wearing certain products to see how my skin reacted, etc. I realized that a few things i used was in fact causing me reactions: foundation, concealer, face powder, blush, eyeshadow and eyeliner. What didn't cause me any reaction: mascara, lipstick, lipbalm.
After a year, I finally decided that I would stop wearing make up. Because using topical medicine almost daily for a year kind of messed with the skin on my chin. My skin is normal and I rarely ever have spots or pimples, but now my chin is reddish, slightly oily and has a few bumps. I'm guessing it is because the medicine wouldn't let my skin breathe, or something like that.
Also because even though my skin reaction is pretty mild and pretty tolerable, having it daily, forever, is really annoying and I'm tired. So, I'm giving up on make up.
I've been testing things I could use on my face instead of make up, like vaseline and cocoa powder on my brows, and cornstach for face powder. I showed it to my friend and she suggested I make a blog to document everything, and so here it is.
I will be posting things I make, what works and what doesn't, and other people with the same problem can find it and maybe help themselves. I don't know. I googled about it and found nothing. I made this blog and in less than a minute it already has views. I think it's a good idea. Let's see.
