Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have oily/combination skin. Until recently, I had a very simple routine: just cleansing with a Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash and moisturising with Simple Refreshing Light Moisturiser. Last week I decided to try out Fiddy's Pore Cleansing Method using Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control as BHA (no Stridex or Paula's Choice in Ireland and I'm too poor to order online right now!). I used a L'Oreal Pure Clay Mask and Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Cleansing Oil. I have previously used all these products without negative reactions, apart from the Neutrogena one. It seemed to work and my skin was soft with fewer sebaceous filaments. No immediate bad reaction. I decided to substitute the Neutrogena product for my usual daily cleanser (stupid idea seeing as it was my first time using a BHA and I know you're meant to build up rather than starting to use it every day). After two days of this I suddenly got little red bumps that looked a bit like a rash. My face is now quite blotchy and red but not sore or itchy and not flaky: https://imgur.com/a/VoVP6 My question is: do you think this is (a) normal 'purging' associated with first time use of BHA product, (b) irritation caused by the product in general, or (c) over-exfoliation due to using too much of the BHA too soon? Thanks very much for your help.
