Beauty Tips For Body Care
backstory: this was my previous routine https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/42enou/beforeafter_tretinoin/cz9qfyjit's basically skinklens cleanser + celeteque moisturizer + sunplay sunscreen in the AM. then skinklens + tretinoin cream in the PM.generally, it was a good routine. however, sometimes it made my skin dry and itchy. it wasn't a huge problem, but i wanted to perfect and simplify my routine further. after some snooping i realized that the cleanser (which was already very gentle) and the alcohol based sunplay sunscreen were at fault for the dryness. i started using just water to cleanse and switched to a lower SPF creamy sunscreen (belo spf40). i also ditched the moisturizer (which i used to put under the sunplay sunscreen) because i thought my new sunscreen was moisturizing enough on its own.so now my routine is: cleanse with water and belo sunscreen for the AM, and cleanse with water and tretinoin for the PM. it works as well as my old routine but with less products!HOWEVUH, even though the itchiness has gone, my skin started to get suuuuper oily weeks after i switched to this routine. i've had a long enough relationship with SCA and skincare that i can tell that it's because of a compromised moisture barrier, and it was probably borne of ditching my moisturizer.i don't really want to use 2 creams in the AM so i'm planning to give the slug life a try (petroleum jelly on top of my tretinoin cream at night). i'm just wondering how well the slug life goes with the no-cleanser life. if they indeed do not go well together, what compromises can i make in terms of cleansing and moisturizing?
