Beauty Tips For Body Care
Recently (~3 weeks), I've been having issues with stubborn acne on my cheeks near my nose and on my chin. Here is a photo. The blemishes are red and "soft," not hard like a zit, and it doesn't really feel like there is anything inside. There are more than the picture captures -- I just couldn't get them on camera. When I feel my skin, it's definitely bumpy. The really weird thing is that on my chin, the acne is kind of isolated on one side, whereas on my cheeks, it is on both sides.I don't think it's a phone or touching or anything like that -- I am careful about anything touching my face. I have a messed up sleeping schedule but this is not new, though it might be worse now. My acne is normally hormonal but it has been under control with BCP for years and my cheeks were never an issue. I switched to a new pill several months ago but it has not given me issues. I break out now and then on my chin but this is unusual.I've been using a trusted BHA nightly (PC) and it helps a little but the acne is stubborn. Especially on my chin, it seems to have almost no effect.Recently, I did try a new foundation, but I was using it on and off for a month and it never gave me issues. I have switched back to an old foundation for a week now but improvement has been very slow (so I wonder if it was an issue at all). My only other "newish" (been using for a few months) item is Banila Clean It Zero, which is a cleansing balm. I haven't had issues with it but I'm not sure anymore.Routine (all stuff I've used for years, besides Banila, which I have used for a few months now):Cerave hydrating wash (Banila Clean It Zero for makeup)Cerave lotionPC Clear regular toner (BHA 2%) - (I don't always use this but recently, I have been using it every night)Also, this is kind of random, but I have been wondering if this could be a fungal thing. I don't really know but it's so stubborn I was curious. I can't remember the last time I dealt with such stubborn acne -- besides the really bad zit or two.Anyway, any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
