i have a very anal skin care routine, and i like to take very good care of my skin. so maybe im not old enough (well, in my opinion at least) to start getting in on the anti-wrinkle stuff, im all about prevention.

i make sure wash off my makeup at night, i never skip washing my face in the morning, and of course i try to exfoliate and do a mask a coupe times a week. i cant help it!

to me, suncare is very important. my aunt recently was diagnosed w/ a combination of skin and bone cancer. not a happy time, but she successfully had surgery and is currently doing well. since then, ive looked at the idea of suncare in a whole different way.

ive always been very fair skin, and ive always worn sunblock and stuff...i just dont like getting dark, and plus my skin cant handle a whole lot of sun anyway. when i was little, i was sunburned really badly once. i was super red and peeling everywhere, and my mom was constantly rubbing aloe vera all over my back, arms, and legs. of course, this was the result of not listening to my mother when to told me over and over again to put on sunblock lol.

my moisturizer and makeup contain spf, and i wear spf on my neck everyday. when i know im going to be out in the sun for a longer period of time (i try to avoid it when possible), i slather on spf 70, no joke!

ive always had sensitive skin. even at a young age, everyone else's skin was fine after an hour or so of swimming. except for me, i was like a burnt toast...only red in color. if i dont burn, my skin just gets splotchy and i get this tingly feeling that just bothers me until it goes away. if i switch products to frequently or dont allow my skin to slowly adjust, my face will attack itself. i try to stick to what my skin likes, otherwise i'd be battling blemishes and unhappy skin.

my friends tease me for being pale, but its not like im deathly pale...im just paler than they are. i take good care of skin...not only do i not want cancer, but i want to slow down the process of the inevitable aging skin. i protect my skin w/ spf all the time, so no, i dont tan lol. every now and then, i'll lay out w/ some friends...but while they're getting sunkissed bronzed, im still slathering on spf 70 and covering my face w/ a towel. 

spf is good for u. its a pain in the ass to remember, but in a good ten years your skin will be thanking u. unfortunately, i will have sensitive skin for the rest of my life--since i suppose u're born w/ it, but as long as i dont upset it by surprise attacks of new products its okay.

one of my product must haves is the eucerin facial moisturizer for sensitive skin w/ spf 30. its been approved by the skin cancer foundation, and is the best moisturizer i have ever used. trust me, ive tried everything out there including chanel, shiseido, prescriptives, clinique, lancome, estee lauder, oil of olay, neutrogena, etc. i usually shell out money for these kinds of products, but next to my toothpaste this is the cheapest thing i own at about $8. i got it at walmart, pretty much as a last resort bc my skin was not responding well to anything! its worked so well for me that i refuse to change it. i advertise to everyone i know, and when people as me what i use on my skin this moisturizer is the first thing i bring up lol.

always remember that even wearing a little bit of spf is better than nothing at all.
