Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone,I am at my wit's end! Hopefully someone could point me in the right direction with where to go with my skin routine. Some background info: I'm female, 26 years old, and currently have combination skin, however my skin usually is very, VERY oily. I suffered from cystic type hormonal acne from ages 9 to about 16-17, which gradually faded as I got older. Strangely, most people claim they cannot tell that I had severe acne. When I did have it, I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it - proactive, acne specific facial treatments, every over the counter item under the sun. My skin was so sensitive that almost everything hurt to use, but the facials stopped hurting after 2-3 visits and I kept going because it seemed to at least maintain my skin.My skin still to this day is incredibly sensitive. I'm prone to blackheads, and will get a pimple here and there. However, my skin gets DARK marks for weeks after even the smallest people. I have discoloration around my nose, sometimes on the upper lip and chin, and at times on my forehead. For months, I have tried to find products that work for skin. I recently had a depressive episode, and thus wasn't taking care of my skin. Now that I am trying to take care of it, it seems skin has gotten worse!Cleansers, toners and moisturizer leave me with a burning sensation and redness, particularly in the area surrounding my nose coming down to the sides of my mouth. I have tried neutrogena, clean and clear, all the drug store crap, and even face washes from Lush. For toners and moisturizers, the same.I'm currently using Neutrogena's new ultra gentle foaming cleanser, as it seems not to bother my skin as much - but I only use the smallest amount possible. For toning, I'm using Caudalie Paris moisturizing toner. For moisturizing, I don't even know what to do. Recently this has been the worst with the obnoxious back and forth we've had with the weather. I've used OleHenriksen vitamin plus, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer, the clean and clears and neutrogena crap, even tried Nivea men's sensitive post shave balm because I heard it was super moisturizing. I've also resorted to putting just argan oil or vitamin E oil on my face, as well as Eucerin or Aquaphor. The last few don't burn as much, but they aren't repairing my skin.Has anyone else experienced this before? Any products you guys recommend?
