I had always been blessed with relatively clear skin, even throughout my teenage years, and whilst I got the odd blemish it was nothing I couldn't handle. Until I turned 28. To this day I have no idea why my skin suddenly flared up, I was using Bare Minerals make-up and good quality cleanser toner moisturiser etc but suddenly out of nowhere I had large red lumps all over my face. They never came to a head so I don't think I could really call them spots, they just sat there for days on end not really getting better. The days turned to weeks which rapidly turned to months. Even my mother commented on how bad my skin had become (nothing like a mother's honesty).
In desperation I immediately stopped using the cleanser toner and moisturiser but had a dilemma whenever I wore the mineral make up as I needed to remove it somehow. After seeing Bubz of YouTube fame describe how she got over an allergic reaction I started to wash my face with nothing but organic oats wrapped in muslin and pre-soaked in water. I then embarked on two years of trying to fix my face and return it to its former glory...
