Skin Nightmare

So I had posted previously how I'm excited to try my new Laneige products. Unfortunately, it doesn't turn out to be a good experience at all. In fact, it's a terrible nightmare! I'll just have myself to blame for having the greed to try new fancy (and most importantly Korean) products. I'm like brainwashed to accept that everything Korean = Daebak!! Haha...thanks to my Kpop addiction!
But 1 lesson learnt- never ever try it on your face!!!
I used to be pimple and acne free, the envy of all my friends and colleagues. Although I'm dark skinned, my skin is soft and clear. Until I cross path with Laneige and the nightmare begins. It started with a few pinkish dot believe to be pimples then on both sides of my end cheek. I stopped using rightaway but the worse is yet to come. I couldn't remember clearly what I did after that living in agony for the past months for having terrible acne all over my face. By that, it means a very reddish covered with acne face- not a spot to be missed- all over my face right below my eyes.
It got so ugly that my boss even told me to seek specialist help. That was nearly 3 months ago.
So I finally went to a specialist one day, took some medication and cream and I can safely and gladly say that my condition had recovered. My face is still a little bit reddish with some pimple dots but it's not entirely pimples covered like before though I secretly hope that one day, my acne and pimple free day will come back to me.
I still do not know what is the main cause of this so called "Eczema"- as what the specialist say it is. My GP says it's allergies. Whatever it is, I only remembered using Laneige and it turned out like this. If I stay true to Clinique...will this happen too?

Tattoo



If I were to tattoo myself. I'll follow my fave model Freja lead. Getting one on the upper right arm. The same font and the same length will do. But rather than "this too shall pass", I'll ink "float" just like what Freja had on her neck.
