Beauty Tips For Body Care
I had pretty bad acne as a teen, but various birth control pills over the years kept it at bay. In January of this year I got Mirena. I love not having to take a pill everyday, I love not having periods, and most importantly, my migraines have decreased in frequency. However, my face is an shiny, oily, pimply mess now. Breakouts tend to be on my jawline, cheeks, and neck.My current skincare routine entails cleansing twice a day (AM and PM with Cetaphil), moisturizing after cleansing (Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel), and sunscreen (product varies with how much time I plan to spend in the sun on a given day). I try to keep my makeup use to a minimum as I feel like it doesn't help the condition of my skin.I'm going to pick up a BHA product (maybe the Paula's Choice) as recommended in the sidebar. The cetaphil leaves my skin feeling tight after cleansing, so I may try a new cleanser as well (suggestions welcome). I'm also open to a new moisturizer if I find something that works better.Some specific questions I have:How much moisturizer should I be using? A dime-sized amount? More, less? Sometimes I feel less is more, but maybe I'm not using enough.I regularly go running in the afternoons after work. Should I cleanse my face before putting my sunblock on? I often do, but I worry that I'm cleansing too much. What about some kind of makeup removing wipe, just to get the day's grime off? Any recommended products?Any recommended makeup brands? I currently use Neutrogena's Healthy Skin with SPF, but I'm wondering if something different would be easier on my skin.This is incredibly frustrating. I really like my IUD and don't want to have to go back to hormonal birth control pills just to get my skin under control again. If anyone has routine or product suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks.
