The Painful truth of Beauty

I love skin care products.  I love it when my skin feels clean, smooth and soft.  I can't walk out of the house without moisturiser, sun screen and eye cream lathered on.  I love the smell and feel of all the gorgeous products.  I could spend hours trying testers until I decide on my new miracle product.  Then I'll happy skip home to immediately try it out.

What I love most of all is when they hurt.  I know we are not meant to and I know we should treat our skin gently, but I can't help it.  I love it when an exfoliator is sandy and scratchy and it feels like it's scratching off the outer two layers of my epidermis.  I love it when a peel feels like they put the wrong acid in it and it's burning away my pigment.   Give me a mask that sets so hard, tight and itchy that I want to scream.  Then I feel like it's really working and I got my money's worth.

I would smile but I can't.  This is a mask by Danne, a mixture of Foamy lift and Exoderma Peel.  This does set like concrete.  If someone was about to attack me, or call me a nasty name, my expression would remain exactly the same.

A Sothys Mask called Renewal System.  This one is gritty and burns.  Awesome,  I almost couldn't wait the suggested time frame but then when I washed it off I wanted to do it again.  I didn't though.

Am I only one that feels this way?  Probably.
