Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey, everyone.So, it appears I have ruined my skin barrier. My skin has recently become very and inflamed in some areas (Just upper cheeks and sides of neck). I think I know where I've gone wrong in my routine, but here it is anyway if you want to hazard a guess too:Skin type: combination (oily T-zone, dry/normal every where else), acne-prone. I live in the UK so currently the air is extremely drying for the last couple of weeks, but until then, my skin wasn't as dry as it is now.My routine goes:Mon: AM1; PM1Tues: AM2; PM2Wed: AM1; PM3Thurs: AM2; PM1Fri: AM1; PM2Sat: AM2, PM3Sun: AM1, just cleanse, tone and moisturiseThen repeat:AM Routine 1CleanserCeraVe Hydrating CleanserTonerHaruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Acid Toner Fragrance FreeTreatmentSunday Riley U.F.O.

While using it, I could feel a burn much more intensely than usual and washed it off after just about 1 minute.This routine has worked for me for about 8 weeks, but I could definitely feel my skin becoming more sensitive.My proposed solution:Step 1: Go back to basics. Cleanser, Moisturiser and Sunscreen (during the day) with the Moisture Mask twice a week for 8 weeks.Step 2: Incorporate one new product every two weeks.Step 3: Only exfoliate twice a week. I think I'll keep the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and Epiduo, then use the Peeling Solution in place of the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant once every 4 weeks, and drop the The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension.Let me know what you guys think, and what you would propose instead, and if you think I should anything to supplement the recovery for the first 8 weeks.
