What to do when your skin quits on you

We've all been there. Sometimes our skin quits and you have a breakout on your hands.
Well that is where I'm at right now.
I am very blessed- throughout womanhood to present I have decent skin, its pretty clear then occasionally I get a HUMONGOUS SPOT somewhere inappropriate like the end of my nose.
(is there such thing as an inappropriate spot?)

I can deal with that...conceal it up...give it a few days and its gone.

But oh no right now were nearing epidemic between my eyebrows and above them my skin is so uneven and has been for about a week....don't panic I will not bore you with photos!

Its important you can identify what makes your skin quit. Mine are
Run down
New products
"that time of the"...you know THAT time

The products I use to aid my skin in replenishing itself back to its usual self don't hold any gimmicks or promise over night miracles, for me they just work and because I know we all want good skin I thought I would show them to you:

Yes...nappy cream!
Cheryl Cole has admitted to using it to help clear up her skin and frankly if its good enough for her it certainly is for me.
Sudocrem aids in reducing redness and swelling and dries up spots.
I usually apply this to my skin before bed.

Soap & Glory- Scrub Your Nose In It
This product aids in deep cleansing with little particles to rub into your face.
The smell as with most Soap and Glory products is amazing and it can also be used as a face mask if you leave it to set a further 3 minutes.

Nivea Refreshing Facial wash gel
This is for daily cleansing and I tend to rub it into my face in the mornings when in the shower.

I hope this is helpful. If anyone has any of their own secrets Id be happy to hear from you!

In Other news
I have taken the bold decision to opt for HD eyebrows, however this means walking round with crap eyebrows for the time being which I admit is agonising. I hate having crap eyebrows
I start my first ever pilates class Tuesday am.

Here is a sneek peak of the dress I am wearing to the races tomorrow:
Romantic and super feminine :)

Wishing you all a pleasant weekend!
