Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey all,First, I want to thank all you wonderful people for helping me. I came absolutely fed up and defeated about my skin and you guys were so supportive and helpful. I've struggled with acne my whole live. Not so much cystic, but just clogged pores and tons of bumps and whiteheads. Red flaky skin, but also an impossible oil slick. I couldn't even wear make up because it just slid off my face. I was tortured in school for years about it. Somedays, I didn't want to leave the house.In my 20's it calmed down, but I still struggled with hormonal outbreaks and flaking skin. My skin is super sensitive, so EVERYTHING made if break out. I got so tired of waking up to new whiteheads and bumps and CC's and then cystic ones started popping up. A month before I turned 30, I was like "THAT'S IT. I'M DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES." When venting to a friend, thy directed me here and everything changed.I realized my moisture barrier has been fucked for YEARS and everything I was doing was the worst for it. Even though your advice sounded so counterintuitive, I saw the success stories here and decided to trust you guys. I dropped all my actives, stopped exfoliating, researched a ton of products you recommended and started with the routine I'll post below. Within a week, people were complimenting my skin. It was GLOWING. My pores were cleaning out. My redness began to fade. My break outs on my chin, cheeks and jaw were barely noticeable by the second week. No more flaking and now I have that natural dewy look that I was convinced would never be me. Sunday was my 30th birthday and I woke up and cried when I saw my skin, but this time from joy! THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!It's been 5 weeks and I feel like I'm ready to slowly introduce an active to help with some of the little whiteheads and CC's I still get. I had another hormonal break out along my chin and jaw again and it's just starting to feel clogged. My moisture barrier seems mostly, maybe entirely repaired, so I'd like to very slowly introduce some gentle exfoliating or actives. (Sorry no pics, I'm at work lol) Here's my routine:AM: Micellar water wipe, hop in the shower, rinse > Klairs Supple Toner > Hada Labo Premium > TO Niacinamide > TO Caffeine solution for my eyes > CeraVe AM moisturizer w/ SPF 30 > NYX concealer (in the pot)PM: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser (in shower) > Klairs Supple Toner > Hada Labo > alternate nights between TO's Squalene and Benton Snail High Steam ContentSo I'm debating between introducing Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid or switching to the CeraVe SA Renewing Cleanser (https://www.ulta.com/renewing-sa-cleanser-normal-skin?productId=xlsImpprod13531041) and seeing how that goes.If I go with Paula's Choice, I would switch to the CeraVe Hydrating Foaming Cleanser (https://www.ulta.com/hydrating-face-cleanser-face-wash-normal-dry-skin?productId=xlsImpprod4190255)You guys haven't steered me wrong yet, so I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you all so much!PS- IT'S DEFINETELY NOT FUNGAL. I know people love to recommend that, but I ruled that out already. Just wanna put that out there haha.
