Dry Skin

This morning, I had a scare. It wasn't like any other scare like not having a pad when Old Lady Red decides to come unexpected. It was my face. When I got to work, I decided to take pictures of my outfit and what I noticed first was my face. It was as dry as all outdoors and seemed to flake up. In a motherly motion, I swiped my thumb over my tongue and dabbed at my face (I used to hate that shit). I looked at it in horror and ran to get some lotion.

My skin in general has been under a lot of abuse by me. I can honestly say I have done some dumb shit when it came to my skin. For instance,   my legs have a very rough dry patch because I decided to take a foot scrubber with a metal grater-like end  and use that to "exfoliate" my skin. To make it feel better, I used the smooth file on the other end of the scrubber to make my skin smooth. Or another time I used an exfoliating towel as a facial scrub. I think that is the reason why my face is so dry. After I did that my face stung when I put lotion on it.
Now, I am trying to rejuvenate my skin by using unscented lotion to help. I think I would like to try different treatments to see what will work for my skin. I recently bought some ayurvedic remedies that will hopefully help with my skin situation as well.
