that Aveeno skin-brightening stuff definitely does horrible things to my skin. i always took Aveeno baths when i was little so i was very intrigued when they started coming out with all their new products, but that face lotion got ditched within a few days. this past week, though, i was in St Louis visiting a friend and i forgot my Cetaphil, and of course the only thing she uses is Aveeno skin-brightening. my skin was extra-dry one day after showering so i used a TINY bit of hers, ONCE, and i could already feel my skin getting weird.
of course, i too have some weird bumps on my arms and across my back right now, so who knows. those didn't appear until i got back here, and my skin's been kind of tight-feeling and itchy, so i'm thinking my body just isnt handling the fairly extreme climate changes very well. (StL was near-100 and humid every day; SF is, well, not that at all :P)
my own ongoing skin drama is that i've had this awful, dry, itchy, rash-prone skin my entire life, and i've tried everything dermatologists could come up with, and now i've FINALLY found the only good lotion in the world, and it's Lush Dream Cream and it's *so* not actually in my budget. it's like $20 for the little tub. i suppose it's kind of a blessing that i have 2 Lush stores within easy walking distance so i don't have to pay their crazy shipping fees, but still. i truly envy anyone who can actually make do with those gargantuan bottles of store brand lotion that sell for less than $2!
