Sweet Jesus, my face is burning

For the past few weeks my skin has been going crazy on me. I'm not covered in pimples or anything, but is it too much to ask to move into the spring season with clear skin? I don't want to describe myself as a vain person, but it's really important to me to feel good about the way I look. For a long time I've tired to go down the natural path to clear skin but nothing's worked! So today, I biked to my local Shoppers and fed up with my bad skin I decided to pick up the whole friggin line of their Pure Solutions skin treatment line. I was really excited to try it just at the thought that this could make my skin clear.

I washed my face with the exfoliating wash and found that it tingled a little. Well fucking hell the tingling turned into a burning. I stood up to look at myself in the mirror, eye watery and skin red, and all I could hear was my mom's voice saying, "too bad you can't find a boyfriend" and then my own voice saying, "look at me now. I'm a lobster." I used the refining toner in hopes that it would cool down my skin but that made my skin burn even worse. You know that feeling where you think something is so bad you don't know what to do except whimper? Well I was whimpering and then close to crying.

My skin has gone back it's normal colour, but kids, let this be a lesson: just be happy and embrace your bad skin. Nothing can be as bad as having your skin burn away from a face wash!
