Weekend and skin woes
Mar. 28th, 2011 11:48 amHubbyfink's birthday was Friday and it was a fairly low-key event. He's not into big to-dos and he didn't want to go anywhere. He was, however, beyond thrilled with his gifts: Jousting in Medieval and Renaissance Iberia by Noel Fallows and the blu-ray box set of "Battlestar Galactica". We watched his two favorite episodes "Exodus," parts one and two.
We spent a lot of the weekend watching BSG. There was also a little shopping, a lot of walking (Hubbyfink even joined me for the 5 miler on Saturday), and a Sunday matinee of "SuckerPunch". Ah, "SuckerPunch". What an apt name. We were expecting parts of the movie to encompass more of the screen time and were a little bit disappointed with what was served. Hubbyfink was actually brought pretty low by the ending. I wasn't bothered as it was fairly typical of the effed-up movies I usually watch.
In skincare news, the itchy rash is gone and it appears the culprits are the Aveeno Smart Essentials facial wash, daily scrub, and night time moisturizer. I can wear the Smart Essentials Daily Moisturizer and Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer, thank goodness, without issue. The Positively Ageless eye cream doesn't hurt my skin either. Still looking for a night time moisturizer and a cleanser that don't burn my skin and/or make me wake up itchy. I've got a couple of cleansers to try this week; hopefully one will be a winner. Night of Olay moisturizer doesn't burn my face upon application, but I wake up with itchy cheeks and neck. And yes, my daily moisturizer doesn't hurt me, but I don't want to sleep in SPF. More research indicated.
