Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys!So, to put it as briefly as I can - I've been on Epiduo for the past 5 years. It has worked wonderfully for me in addressing my hormonal chin acne. However, during this whole period - I have done nothing to protect myself against the extra sensitivity using benzoyl peroxide causes on my already fair, Irish skin. I would go out in the sun and never wear sunscreen. I wouldn't even apply moisturiser after I applied my Epiduo at night because I didn't think it was necessary (although my skin would be constantly dry and flakey). Yep. I know.About 6 months ago I went over my skin 'routine' (which didn't even really exist tbh) and conducted a lot of research. I think I almost cried when I came to terms with the fact that I had been neglecting such an important step for so damn long. I've now been using Olay Complete Daily Defense 30 SPF (broad spectrum) on my face every single morning.Pic @: (the lighting makes my skin look a bit better than it is) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=x3h75s&s=9#.WLKtKdJ95dgMy main problem is hyper pigmentation (which would've only been worsened by the sun...) and broken capillaries and blood vessels. Which I can only guess is pinpointed to the fact I have constantly neglected sunscreen. My problem isn't even pimples anymore (it was this bad at one point: http://static.acne.org/ipb_uploads/gallery_195818_13178_36035.jpg) - although I do get at least one on my chin every few days and I recently broke out after tyring to implement rosehip oil into my routine.BUT my question here is: I have recently decided to incorporate an AHA into my routine - specifically the Derma V overnight peel which I thought would be best for my skin as it's only 5% AHA so not too harsh. I'm currently waiting for it to be shipped to me off iHerb, however now I'm having mixed feelings on whether I should use it, as I've heard that AHA's can make broken capillaries worse - but I have also heard that exfoliating can help with sun damaged skin. So I'm torn. Does anybody have any information or advice about this?I used to be plastered in freckles and now I can't even see them because they've like.. merged into my horrible skin tone. I seriously feel like I've completely ruined my skin to the point of no return which makes me want to cry because I'm only 20 years old. :( I've been thinking about getting a laser treatment at my local skin clinic but I was really hoping I could use an AHA product to try and help out but now I'm worried it might do more harm than good. I seriously don't know what to do.
