Beauty Tips For Body Care
This is a 1 year update on my routine and progress.I started taking my acne seriously last year after getting off the pill. I got all these new pimples around my jaw line and my face was getting worse. I had mild acne and whiteheads. Never had cysts, and have had this mild acne since puberty (now 25). It got better on Yasmin, but worse when I switched to Mirena IUD. This is what I did over the year: 1. Jan 2016. Went to the doctor and got Epiduo. Best decision ever. If you're worried about cost 1 tube lasts me just over 6 months so it's worth it. It burned after 3 days for about 2 weeks. My face got quite dry, but I kept using it. After about 2 months, and a lot of moisturizer, it started to get better. Adapted the routine from ScA. I use CeraVe hydrating cleanser morning and night. CeraVe in a tub every night and some mornings if really dry. CeraVe daytime moisturizer and SPF every morning. Added 2% BHA and 10% AHA. I got a 2% BHA from the drugstore. It had alcohol in it and was very drying so I used it every other night. I've since gotten the Stridex red box. 10% glycolic Peter Thomas Roth. Then I just stuck to the routine everyday. I've also changed my diet significantly eating mostly vegan now.Fast forward to today and I've ordered a few new things to try from The Ordinary. Experiencing some dryness, but I get dry skin often. I'm really happy with my progress and glad I took photos for this year. Hopefully this helps someone who is on a similar track. If anyone has recommendations about the scarring let me know. But I'm pretty happy with how things have gone. http://imgur.com/a/QcR0m (sorry about unnatural lighting, most photos taken at night)Current Routine: Morning: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, HA 2%, CeraVe Morning Moisturizer Night: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, HA 2%, BHA, AHA, Epiduo, CeraVe in the tub Adding Azelaic Acid in night routine every other night currently
