Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys,I've been getting more into skincare for the last month or so but I recently realized that my moisture barrier may be damaged- it doesn't flake (probably because of exfoliating) but even after a shower without me rinsing my face with just water, my skin feels tight and sometimes really dry, but my skin is really oily right around my nose until you get right under my eye and it gets super dry and sensitive (even just washing my face too fast makes my skin burn) and when my skin is irritated it starts to peel up and burn when I put most things on it.Background:I used to really do nothing to my skin except use the oil free acne wash (the pink grapefruit foaming scrub) from neutrogena and the clean & clear dual action moisturizer. I only used these when I remembered to and during the day my skin was quite dry and it flaked like crazy. I'd go to brush hair out of my eyes, barely touch my forehead and I see flakes falling down from my forehead. I asked my mom to get me a different cleanser so I started using the neutrogena naturals purifying pore scrub.I'm not sure what the pH of the naturals is, but my skin started getting drier (but stopped flaking) and so I used more moisturizer. That irritated my skin so I added more moisturizer (it was the only thing I had + I didn't realize it was the moisturizer at first) until slowly my skin started peeling in tiny pieces starting at my temple, down my cheeks and chin then up to the other side of my face and my forehead. It made it hurt to talk and it looked like my face was scraped up.I went to the dermatologist and was recommended Cerave foaming (though I've now switched to hydrating) and was prescribed Desonate and Clindamycin Phosphate, as well as Cerave pm + cerave renewing sa lotion for KP on my arms.Anyways, I've added and removed products from my routine and done more research, but I'm pretty sure my moisture barrier is damaged. How would I go about doing this besides removing actives? And for how long? (Also what counts as an active?)Current routine: Am:Rinse with water, wipe with washcloth if I used an overnight mask Ponds dark spot dry skin cream + clindamycin Hyaluronic acid serum Rosehip oil Andalou Naturals 1000 roses beautiful day creamPm: Cerave hydrating + (shu uremura skin purifier if I wore mascara) Ponds dark spot dry skin cream + clindamycin Hyaluronic acid serum Rosehip oil Andalou Naturals 1000 roses beautiful day cream Sephora overnight maskI stopped using actives a few days ago (stridex in the AM and occasionally glycolic acid in the pm) do I need to change anything else/how long should I do this for?
