Beauty Tips For Body Care
Looking for advice on how to improve what I'm doing.Current routine: Morning: wash face with a tiny, tiny bit of regular SoftSoap hand soap, use Pond's dry skin cream on the driest parts, "spot-treat" with Mary Kay medium coverage foundationEvening: wash face with CVS foaming facial cleanser (I think it's this one although the packaging looks different than mine), use Pond's dry skin cream on the driest parts if necessary (maybe every 2-3 days)I've used the following notable products in the past: * Neutrogena On-The-Spot benzoyl peroxide for spot-treatment. It worked for a while but then started drying out my skin and making it worse * Aknefug liquid stuff that also worked for a while but now seems to do nothing at all, neither good nor bad * Several cleansers with salicylic acid which turned out to do a lot of damage, so no more of thatMy acne has decreased on its own pretty well. The pictures here are pretty much as bad as it gets and I can live with it, but if I could bypass the makeup entirely, I would. I don't wear any other makeup other than the foundation to cover up ugly spots. I used to have oily skin but it's been getting drier over the past 5 years. From what I'm reading here, it seems that a typical "skin care routine" is a whole lot more complex than what I'm doing and I'm a fan of spending as little time in the bathroom as possible... But maybe there's something simple that I can change in my routine without going "all out"?Side note: I'm not good at drinking liquids, so I'm typically a bit dehydrated. Would being more hydrated help?
