Beauty Tips For Body Care
Ok so here it goes, like many of the people who post on here I've struggled with acne for many years now, and I always seem to struggle nailing down the perfect skincare routine. I spoke to a dermatologist on early June, and I didn't really know what to ask, she mainly said it looked hormonal and since it wasn't easy to battle with topical solutions, she suggested accutane. Is clear skin worth it for me? Definitely, but if there is a better way to go I would really like to hear some of you out. I'm not sure of costs in Canada for accutane and I'm also afraid of the side effects.I have been logging my skin change (It's all mostly focused on my cheeks, some blackheads on my chin) since beginning of May, I hope these images help those with advice: http://imgur.com/a/yyZEoFrom about end of May, before middle of June I tried the Paula's Choice acne kit and it completely dried my skin and irritated it, the only thing that stuck on its own was the exfoliant.I hope I can get some feedback on what things to add to my routine, as well as switches if need be, I have found that the moisturizers I'm currently using aren't spot on.I would describe my skin type to be Normal to CombinationAnother thing worth noting is I am on the birthcontrol Min-OvralMorning:Clarisonic Plush Brush (Not everyday) + Cerave Foaming Cleanser (Been using since April)Clear Regular Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution With 2% Salicylic AcidMoisturizer: CeraVe AM Moisturizer with SPF Normal to combination (started Using end of May, prior to exfoliant) **Note: the SPF has definitely made me feel greasy with this one and I can't help but notice my skin feels kinda ickySPF in general by Anthelios by La Roche Posay seems to be working fine (Not making me break out)Night time:Makeup Remover: Bioderma H2O -> New additionClarisonic + Cerave Foaming Cleanser (Started using since April)Clear Regular Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution With 2% Salicylic Acid-> Started using end of MayResist BHA 9 dabbed occassionally although haven't seen incredible changeCeraVe PM Moisturizing Lotion for normal to combination (Started Using end of May, prior to exfoliant **Note: It feels to me when I put this on my skin it isn't absorbed right away, it leaves an icky feeling and I wake up with oily faceI am definitely lacking better options for moisturizers, as well as a good clay mask, I was very interested in trying Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Deep Pore Cleansing but I have heard some mixed views on using apple cider vinegar on your face.I will be meeting with the dermatologist I spoke to in a about a week and it could really help me if you guys gave me your opinion on someone who tends to have mild to moderate acne on accutane, ideally if there's another way I would love to take it.
