Beauty Tips For Body Care
First and foremost, Pictures! Hopefully it is formatted correctly. (http://imgur.com/a/v7lBR) http://imgur.com/a/v7lBRSo I finally figured out the culprit of my closed comedones.. It seems I was just extremely dehydrated!(CC's can be difficult to capture in photos, but I took both of these in the same lighting to get an accurate before and after)The first picture was after a week of stopping everything, just using my Olay sensitive skin face wash. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a product causing the CCs.They only continued to get angrier, I read up a little bit on dehydrated skin here on SCA and decided to moisturize and hydrate as much as possible! Started this new routine about 5 days ago and I am honestly in shock. I never have seen such fast results.My routine is... PM: OCM with olive oilThen wash with olay sensitive skin face wash (I guess this is double cleansing)Moisturize with Cerave moisturizing lotionSpot treat as needed with 2.5% Benzoyl peroxideAM: Nothing, just apply la roche posay anthelios 60 sunscreenSo yes, just 5 days and the results are great. No AHA/BHA needed in this case. Any scars visible in the photos are from a bad bout of acne a couple years ago.I wanted to add a few things that made me realize I was super dehydrated, if it could help anyone else. My skin just felt gross and uncomfortable by the end of the day, and I now understand that it was because it was dried out! I also have well water (VERY hard water) at home which is tough on skin and hair. I think that was a big culprit in causing my skin to get so dehydrated. This is all anecdotal but I think OCM before I get in the shower protects my skin from the water a bit more.I decided to share this because a lot of recommendations for CC's include incorporating AHA/BHA, which definitely is the way to go in some cases. But it could also just be something as simple as this! Maybe it could help someone out.
