[Personal] My skin is getting better thanks to you. I'll share some thoughts.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I am a 21-year old male. I've had skin problems since early teens - mostly redness and mild-to-medium acne, but I was generally unhappy with my appearance. The skin on my face was oily and rough.I had been lurking here on ScA earlier, enough to learn the basics of skincare and routines, but I never had really done anything about the problem. Sure, I knew that moisturizing is important and that I should experience with different moisturizers to find the best moisturizer to moisten my face with, but I never did that. My efforts were limited. My skin had gotten slightly better, but that's about it.So last week I came here again. I had gained a lot of discipline from studying independently and working out and taking care of my hair and such since the last time, and after reading for hours I laid down a plan, and now I'm carrying it out.My skin hasn't looked this good since elementary school, and I owe it all to you.My skin is something of a combination skin - it dries easily on the edges of my face, but my forehead and nose are very oily. I have some closed comedones and PIH on my forehead. My routine:AM Wash face with Danne Montague-King deep pore pure cleanser, moisturize with Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel.PM OCM with olive oil and a couple drops of tea tree oil. I'll spread the oil on my face and let it sit for ~5, then gently rub it on my face. I always get a lot of grit on my hands and I love it. Wash face with aforementioned cleanser. Apply BHA, let it dry. Moisturize with aforementioned moisturizer.I'm going to swap the Care Gel in the AM for another Sebamed moisturizer, I think it was Clear Face Mattifying Cream. It has roughly the same ingredients as the Care Gel. The reason for swapping is that the Care Gel, while working fine, leaves my skin feeling really sticky - I hope that the cream won't do that. If it doesn't work for me though, I'll just return to the Care Gel.I also have to swap my BHA, because I noticed that it has a lot of alcohol on it, which seems to irritate my face a bit.I'll have a long way to go and lots to learn, but if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made it even this far. Thanks!
