How's everyone's skin?? Mine's really 'good' for me, ie: it's behaving like functional skin +

It's actually been good enough that I've been conducting some mild (naughty?) experiments with covering it up now and then. Now that the SB has schooled me on reading labels I have a better idea of what might work on my skin for MU... That's kind of exciting.

Trying anything new is kind of fraught with risk though, so I try to be pretty careful about it.

Today I tested out Cerave Foaming wash on my chest and it was AWESOME. I was really surprised that it gave a soothing sensation on my sore chest. In a foaming wash? That's a really bizarre feeling. I will try it on body for some time before I try it on face, but it's promising.

I also picked up Cerave SA when I was in US. Seems pretty mild but that might suit my body very well. It's creamier than I expected!

I also picked up some Bioderma SS and basics at Murale yesteday, they showered me with a GWP that was insane. Get a load of this loot:

I am kind of overwhelmed, I doubt I can test all these products -- but they might be nice additions to some care packages I want to send.

Hope everyone's skin is doing very well! Fall is always my best season, I am not looking forward to winter! ;-) xoxo
