Luckily I have some pure coconut oil so Ive just put a tiny amount on. My skin feels much better already.
I terrible for getting right up close to the mirror and poking and proding my skin looking for any kind of mark. Im obsessive! I will try my hardest to avoid doing this

My skin's looking a lot smoother (although my lifestyle is NOT healthy right now so that doesn't help)

I was looking at the Lush website last night.
Sweet Japanese Girl and
Angels on Bare Skin seems like cleansers that may be suitable for my skin. The
Imperialis moisturiser looks as though it might be the perfect moisturiser for me as it helps balance sebum levels. I'll pop into Lush on Friday when I go to town.
thanks for all the advice
