Beauty Tips For Body Care
Alright folks, this might be a long one. I'll try my best to be concise.I have dry to normal skin, but definitely more on the dry side. It is super sensitive to many many things. I avoid fatty alcohols, olive oil, coconut oil, and carbomer seems to cause my eye to swell (guessing by the process of elimination on that one). As a general rule, if it's rated as low as a 1 for acne on cosdna, it will probably break me out. I am pretty sure butylene glycol is ok, but I'm not 100%. For some reason, CeraVe has some ingredients that are problematic for me in a moisturizer/essence/anything left on the skin, but in a wash they seem ok.My routine from roughly June 2013 - February 2015:AM -splash face with coolish waterpat dry, 2.5% acne.org BPclean and clear morning burst gelPM -remove make up (only wore eye make up/lip products) with random make up remover wipes (neutrogena, simple, etc.),CeraVe hydrating cleanserstridex in the red box (nightly)2.5% BPclean and clear gel topped with vaseline until I found nivea creme didn't break me outComments on this routine - my skin was pretty good over this time period. I used the clean and clear because it didn't break me out, but it did make the drier areas of my skin sting and turn red. I ignored that for a long time though, to be break out free. Prior to this routine I was a hot mess and had lots of painful cystic acne on my chin. I did feel my skin was dry and dull, though.My routine from roughly February 2015 - October 2015:AM - same as abovePM -Take off make up with baby oil (sometimes got grits!) and a microfiber towelBioderma micellar waterCeraVe hydratingStridex nightly2.5% BPnivea cremeComments on this routine - again, not too bad. Not really the improvement on dull/dryness I was looking for, but no major skin issues either. Although it's hard to say - I maybe broke out slightly more here, but I also started playing with blushes and concealers, etc., so they could also have been culprits.Then October rolled around and I was in a wedding that I was doing my own make up for. I used a foundation without patch testing it and I'm pretty sure that broke me out quite badly. Also, between February and the present I started using a primer for concealer that has butylene glycol in it. It doesn't cause any issues under my eyes, but I'm not sure if it would break out my chin as well.Either way, suddenly my routine wasn't cutting it anymore. Since October, my chin is consistently been breaking out and I'm now breaking out sometimes on my cheeks which is really unusual. Granted, for the most part, they are small white heads and are gone quickly. I do have plenty of closed comedomes and currently have two cystic pimples on my chin - but those are from a konjac sponge I think. Oh yeah, I've been trying new products to try to smooth my texture but everything seems to make it worse.Routine for the past 18 days -AM -splash face with waternivea cremePM -neutrogena make up wipecerave hydratingnivea cremeI also tried a moisturizer that broke me out quite badly (mizon black snail AIOC), and a konjac sponge which did the same.If anything, my closed comedomes look worse now. I get panicky when my skin starts to break out and I feel like anything I do will make it worse so I could really use some outside perspective here. I'm mostly confused as to why a routine worked for so long and suddenly stopped.TLDR - routine worked for a very long time, now I'm breaking out and making it worse by panicking and trying too many new things.
