Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys,I started my tretinoin journey about 2 years ago at the advice of my derm while I was still extremely uninformed about how to use it. My Derm didn't even tell me that I had to wear sunscreen, I had to find that out myself. I only was on it for 6 months but during those 6 months I constantly burned my skin in the sun from not knowing that I had to reapply sunscreen, not using enough, not applying it correctly, using a crappy sunscreen, etc. But I had no clue that It was because of that why my skin was always irritated and burned. I went 6 months like this before eventually calling it quits because I thought that tret just wasn't for me. Fast forward to now and I'm about 2 months back on it and although I have greatly improved my knowledge on how to properly use tretinoin, I did have some stumbling blocks in the beginning. I use to use a physical sunscreen and reapplied it but I feel like I wasn't getting proper protection because I spent a lot of time trying to wipe the white cast which I think compromised the SPF protection. But I never got that burning feeling from before so idk. I eventually switched to chemical sunscreen and that Is what I use now. I also not wear sunscreen indoors even though I have a lot of windows in my house, because I didn't know. I don't do that anymore.Anyways, now that I am properly informed about how to use tret and how to protect my skin, my biggest concern is whether or not I have caused irreversible damage from pretty much baking my skin those 6 months? The idea of waking up with skin cancer one day because I was dumb makes me want to vomit. It causes me great anxiety and I have no idea. I honestly blame my derm though because I was given it with pretty much no instructions, everything I learned was through online.Anyways, thoughts?
