August 2016: Let’s go back to the last picture I can find on my phone that has skin I actually like. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

So. It’s only five and half years since this picture was taken, and it feels like forever ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is just a selfie, taken on my phone, in natural light coming from the side (taken near my front door which has a full glass pane). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had lost some weight, and I think it notices in my forehead. My hair was still holding colour – it’s too grey now, and box colour looks so brassy – you can see that starting in the front, here – but I’d love to go back to this chestnut which suits my skintone. I do love my white stripes now, but for quite a while I was just letting the colour grow out. A depressing time, I have to say, but it didn’t last for ever. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

But the thing I love most, is that I don’t have much in the way of pores on my chin, nor do I have much rosacea showing on my cheeks or forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However. I am wearing makeup and that will blur a lot of imperfections. But, ultimately, this is the look I want my bare skin to get to. It isn’t glowing, gorgeous Korean glass-skin. Even I am not so delusional to think I can ever get to this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the things I want to improve:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I want to lose weight and hopefully lose the heavy lumps of fat over my eyebrows.
I want to hydrate my skin again, lose the dullness I have and regain that smooth glow.
I want to re-establish my skin barrier.
I want to drink more and help to hydrate my skin from the inside.
I want to exfoliate more and lose the corky patches near my nose, also hope to shrink the appearance of pores on my central T zone.
I want to improve my rosacea areas, round my upper cheeks and forehead calm the redness and stop the pustules from reappearing.
I want – though this may be a hope too far – to improve the sagging skin under my eyes.
I want to find ways to alleviate my dry eyes and stop the redness and inflammation on my eyelids.
I want to find ways to improve my thyroid levels and get some eyebrows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that might have to do for now… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next time, make sure to have a bracing drink in your hand, as we’ll be looking at the bare face of a 67 year old.
No makeup, no filters. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
