Since starting T almost two years ago ( October) Ive been breaking out badly. At first they assure you its just to adjust, then its because im estrogen dominant so that this supplement. Which tanks my sex drive and negates a TON of effects of the T because in reality it puts me estrogen deficient, then its just well thats how your body works. So gotta deal with it.
So Earlier this year I started Trentonoin a prescription retinoid which helps cellular turnover and can help with Acne. Oh but you cant just take trent. You have to do a skincare regime including TONS of moisturizer or it peels your skin off. So I start that. But my boss gets into korean skin care and shes a few years older then me but her skin is looking great. ( everyone always told me I have amazing skin, except my random breakouts, which by the way are ONLY on my neck and jawline... WTF)
So we go a bit wild and now we are both into Korean skincare for glass skin.
I now have IDK like 10 different bottles and a skin care regime and constantly look all glowy lmao. ( this is not for matte skin lovers at all)
But i found lots of things like. They make them WITHOUT fragrence. No migraine inducers!
The moisturizer is SO THIN and lasts for fucking ever.
The sunscreen, its HELLA good. I havent burned at ALL and i use it like its my religion. Trent makes you very sun sensitive and easy to burn and with my mom having skin cancer... I also wear cute sunhats lmao. I have idk like 6 now...And I use an SPF parasol which everyone fucking LOVES when im in public haha. People are like why dont we all do that...IDK Judy, why dont you? They are only like 20-50 bucks on amazon. A regular umbrella is like 10 at the walmart, it does SOME sun shade. Thats on you.
Anyway, Back to the T. Im working on balancing the hormone levels now because im still off balance somewhat. No more DIM ( supplement) its causing me to be estrogen deficient. Taking my progesterone and its recommended I add in about 6 NEW vitamins. 6.. Dude, My bathroom is like... I DONT HAVE SPACE FOR THIS SHIT!
I have a double sink vanity, plus a closet full of shit like first aid, extra bathroom stuff and a shelf full of makeup I rarely use ( throwing tons of it away, but little girl likes the nail polish and has no room to store it in her space either)
Like my bathroom is insane. Plus to be fair, My skin takes like 20 minutes a night. and now i find out you are supposed to wait 5-30 minutes in between each layer of product you use! ( I layer 6 products some nights) FFS. I dont have TIME for that. SPace for that. How the heck does one stay looking ( not 40) lol. And feeling ( not 40)
If you arent 40 with health issues and feeling like shit all the time, you wouldent understand that feeling. TBF I dont look 40. And I didnt before. I have a few tiny wrinkles around my eyes and i dont like my neck, but i never have looked my age. I do look a good 10 years younger but I would like to keep it that way... If not for my premature grey hair ( started at 16) you wouldent think I was older. One person finally guessed my age but it was after I said I had a 21 year old and she knew I was a teen mom. She came closest at 44. ( nope be 41 next month) But still. I dont want to look and feel 40. ( though i feel older) I get its a privilege yadda yadda. but I would LOVE to just be 10 years younger. I would love to get the 10 years of my life that was lost due to health issues and depression bakc...
But it dosent come back so all I can do is try to make it better.
My last pellet for hormones got infected. Im really mad at the company anyway. They did the insertion and put a gauze pad over it, but no water proof cover. So i washed my hair and didnt realize. Now its infected. Its my last one and im going to shots in general after this ( every other day shots. yay... ) But still. That and they keep saying they will "get me my lab work" and they havent. Its been since FEB! And I had a second round in May. I said I need to have them by my dr appt on the 28th and i requested in writing seeing 4 verbal requests isnt enough ( hello HIPAA GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO MY LABS... They know I work in medical and know the laws... probably better then them seeing I write policies on it) So this is not cool.
Anyway... Here is to getting older, feeling like crap and surviving on Adderall and caffeine. Yeah I cant give that shit up either... Its the only way I feel boosted.
