Why wasn't I born beautiful?

I, as one of the average looking people of the world, use skin products. Makeup is not enough to cover up the many flaws of my face so I try to prevent them. Try.

So under the recommendation of the same YouTube reviewer that inspired me to purchase the Holika Holika BB Cream, I also purchased Skin Food Egg White Pore Foam and I've been using it for a couple months. No, I do not look like her yet (sadly).
This is a review of the product if you haven't figured that out already.

Flaw: Gigantic pores
Fix: Eh, I don't know. I don't think they've become smaller because I have been far too lazy to use toner. Also, the only toner in my household is Clinique which is dangerous levels of toxic. I actually use it as a mild cleanser for hard surfaces because of the alcohol present.

Flaw: Acne
Fix: Maybe? To be fair, I do not have acne. I just get a pimple every once in a while and I'm sure it has more to do with hormones than it does with my facial care products. My frequency of pimples didn't decrease but it didn't increase either. The only times that I got pimples were when I ate greasy/fatty/high sugar meals.

Flaw: Greasy skin
Fix: I think so! My skin isn't actually greasy but it does become a little oily when I use products that aren't mild enough. Like Neutrogena Acne Wash Gel. Those were some bad times.

Flaw: Sensitive skin
Fix: Yeah! I have sensitive skin and it didn't irritate it. I think it is perfumed though so that is something to avoid.
I use a little more than this to wash my face and it's enough. It foams a lot. Aside: Why is inserting images so much harder now? I want to upload it directly, not through Drive :|

Overall:  I like it. I like it a lot. It smells wonderful and eggs are one of my favourite foods. My skin feels super clean after washing it and I was actually afraid that this might make my skin greasier. Thankfully it did not. The next one I'm going to try is Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash, which I am kind of wary of because I've had a very bad track record with their products. However, I somehow bought it for about 50 cents because of an anniversary coupon or something like that. I'll make sure that I have another bottle of Skinfood first though.

Prompted by: I has time because exams are over for me :3
