Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a while and would like some opinions. A little about me: I'm a 24 year old Canadian, relatively healthy, athlete, and have had acne for 8 years. My skin type is definitely dry and I have a tough time keeping it moisturized.The past 3 years my acne has been very mild and manageable... until 4 months ago.I was experiencing a breakout during finals and on an area of my forehead. It was worse than anything I've seen in years so I decided to come here. I read about Cerave and went out and bought the cleaner and moisturizer.Cerave completely ruined me, giving me closed comedones all over my forehead, making my breakout area so much worse. The last couple months have been me just watching those closed comedones come out, while creating multiple scars in the area.Once I figured out Cerave was breaking me out, I started looking for new products and was researching everything I could here. My skin was never perfect so I didn't want to go back to my old routine.My current routine:AM:Splash face with waterCliniderm soothing lotion(Sunscreen if going in sun)PM:Green beaver moisturizer5%BP spot treatment (pretty sure my skin doesn't like it)Cliniderm soothing lotionDerme E AHA (2x a week)I decided on those products after receiving help from here and checking cosdna. I am starting to think the soothing lotion is causing issues, as now I'm breaking out more in my cheek and the zits are different than what I was experiencing before. My AM routine doesn't involve much because I don't want inflamed problem areas at work. Also, I cut out stridexred.I guess my question to you guys is pretty open: What do you think I should do/try? I would love to have a conversation with some of you. I think I will see a dermatologist soon but the wait time is 4 months.Obviously, my ultimate goal is to get rid of my acne and scars/dark spots. I also need to find a moisturizer that won't break me out and also won't make my skin look worse when applying.I hope I provided enough info. Here is a picture I just took - the scars are not nearly as visible in the picture but yeah, I'm really looking to fix myself up. My skin hasn't looked this bad in years.https://imgur.com/a/BrXXQ
