Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi all :)Long time lurker, this is my first post. I'm 28 with sensitive dry skin that's prone to hormonal acne. SO FUN! I've recently got a bit of plus model work so I'm trying to get everything under control as much as I can in the next couple of weeks before a big photo shoot. Are these CC's? With foundation: http://imgur.com/0GXGzAM Without: http://imgur.com/sBB5OpS Sorry for the lighting difference.Also, while taking these pictures, I learned that I'm clearly going to need to do a wax for mustache. Any recs for this skin type would be greatly appreciated.Current routine:AM: -Splash water-Paula's choice 1% Calm Redness Relief 1% BHA -Wait 20-GOW Natural Majik Juniper Berry Hydrosol Gel-Cereve in the tub if I need a little extra moisture on dry places, except for my chin.-Kevita Solar SPF 30 ( I don't love this, it may be breaking me out a bit, I need to find something else)PM: -Oil cleanse, Hemp oil, hemp and castor oil combo on my chin-Acure sensitive skin cleanser (for double cleanse)-GOW 10% Mandelic Acid, no seaweed, no alcohol-Wait 20-Paula's Choice 15% Vitamin C Booster-Wait 20-Paula's Choice Resist Moisturizer on everything but my chin-Same GOW moisturizer on my chin-Hemp oil and/or vaseline as occlusivesI've been on this routine for about two months now (except for chemical exfoliants this was more or less the same for at least 9 mo before as well) and I think it's definitely helping. I drink a gallon of water, a cup of spearmint tea and I take Vitamin C, A, E, zinc picolinate and probiotics daily. I also follow a relatively low carb diet, that almost never includes dairy, wheat or processed sugar.Clearly I'm trying very hard to have the skin I want. So far I think what's made the most difference for breakouts/ PIE is the Vitamin C serum and starting the chemical exfoliants. Also upping my water intake and limiting coffee to one cup (oh god).My skin is tolerating the peels much better than I thought it would, I only use them on my chin so far, so maybe that area is less sensitive. I have another two weeks before this shoot and I really want to try one other, more intense peel beforehand. I'm thinking to order the MUAC fade peel or perhaps the 30% glycolic peel (I tried samples of the PC 7% AHA dark spot corrector and I really liked it, no issues there). I've definitely had a bit of purging from the mandelic so that's something to consider too, I need to make sure I can control whatever happens in the last week before the shoot too. For the first time in a year I have no active acne right now so I'm very excited/ cautious trying to figure out what to try next.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Rant over! Thank you so much for reading <3
