Okay, girly question. I'm using nothing on my skin except a bar of plain facial soap and some tinted moisturizer during the day, which is actually working okay? Actually, for the first time in like five years I'm pretty sure I don't have any zits on my face whatsoever. But it doesn't matter, I still look awful, because now my skin is all red, especially my cheeks and nose. See? Except actually it's worse that the picture suggests, that's from a few weeks ago, but you get the idea.

So, girly types. Any suggestions? 'Cause it's bothering me.

What kind of facial soap are you using? If you're getting a lot of redness you should probably switch to a facial cleanser for sensitive skin, which are much milder and should reduce your irritation.

Personally, I use Biore facial cleansing cloths at night to remove all my makeup. They're gentle, but provide some light exfoliation. I also use this Neutrogena mosturizer after I shower in the morning and a little before bed after I've washed my face with the cleansing cloths.

I wonder, how many times have you listened to that song?... Also, that picture, I think, is pretty much identical to another you've taken! DX Which makes it creepy. You're creepy. Creep.

I sometimes use toners for things like that. It helps rebalance er...ph balance of the skin.

I'm pasty as hell so I hate having the red cheeks and nose, it just looks so awkward on me.

Is it dry and red? Maybe use a richer moisturizer at night? Probably a green tea moisturizer would be really good, since green tea is supposed to be really good at calming down inflamed skin.
