Arbonne 5 Day Challenge - Day 1

Diving right in I'm posting my before picture. Please forgive the dour expression, it was 7 am and now I have to make the same face for comparison every day:



As you can see, my skin tone is really uneven. On my left cheek I have what I lovingly call "rosy Irish cheeks". Back in California where the sun was not as intense, and I wasn't 8 months pregnant, it really was just rosy cheeks...and it was on both cheeks. Now though, in the intense Hawaii sun, and due to this little baby's effect on my hormones I have little bumps and a really pronounced rosacea-like crescent on that left cheek, while the right cheek has only mild rosieness, no break outs, and some darkening areas that are under both eyes.

My forehead seems like it is totally different skin. I have a strange light patch over my left eye at the hairline, strange bumps that aren't breakouts and lines almost as deep as my Dad's furrow my brow! And I'm just going to gloss right over those dark bags under my eyes.

When I look at myself in the mirror I see an amazing person whose skin is crying out for help, and I think other people do too so I'm making a change. When people look at me I want them to just see the awesomeness and not be distracted by everything else.
