Beauty Tips For Body Care
I joined Reddit recently to follow this group. I’ve dealt with acne for years but my dryness has been kicking my ass recently. I started a routine and it was helping pretty quickly. And my skin is extremely sensitive and reactive so I was pretty excited. My skin no longer burned when I washed my face and my acne was calming down and then ALL OF A SUDDEN, my face was super tight, flakey, and red and I had these painful lumps on one side of my face.I came home the other night and started crying. I had to ice my face because my face was so swollen. I couldn’t believe how quickly my new routine had turned on me! And then my boyfriend pointed out that I had agreed two weeks earlier to try out his detergent of choice (we recently moved in together) and after some protests (I had always used fragrance and dye free detergent in my hippie parents’ house) I said I’d give it a shot.I started to put the pieces together. I’d been complaining about these weird lumps under my bra strap and at my pant line too. We’d recently washed all of our bedding, my bras, and a bunch of regular laundry. I’d also (tmi) been having some itching down there that was very irregular.So off to the store he went. He got fragrance and dye free detergent (and chocolate, bless him) and we rewashed all of our bedding and any undergarments I own that night. It’s only been a few nights of sleeping on our newly rewashed pillow cases and my face has returned to normal levels of problematic! I’m so grateful that my boyfriend was paying attention and figured it out because I was too busy being an emotional wreck to think of that.TL;DR I thought my new routine was freaking my skin out but it was our laundry detergent.
