Beauty Tips For Body Care
Heyyy combo-dry, dehydration-prone, sensitive skinned peeps!I (24) need a new routine ASAP.After many months of overly treating my skin as oily due to my t-zone being oily, I’ve finally learned its dehydrated and the rest of my skin is combo DRY 🙃 I also realized my breakouts are hormonal. As of yesterday I was diagnosed with PCOS by my OBGYN who prescribed me Spironolactone and Yasmin as birth control. Took my Spironolactone (25 mg) this morning and I’m really excited for what’s to come 🙏🏼While I wait, I want to care for my skin. Here’s what I have as a collection... Feel free to critique it, form something from those products. Or recommend things that you yourself swear by. I’m so appreciative.Notes: - Please no CeraVe Cream or FAB Ultra Repair Cream, and anything with witch hazel, alcohol denatured, and soybean. My skin does not like these products and ingredients.I’m from New England, USA so the summers are humid and Fall and winters are freezing.Concerns: Redness, irritation to fragrance and those ingredients above; dryness and dehydration, hormonal breakouts and mild hyperpigmentation.Because of the overly treating, I haven’t used NO skincare in 6 days. None. (I haven’t left my house so no worries 🤷🏻♀️) Letting my skin heal. And tbh it’s doing a lot better so I’m wondering if I even need anything at all? What do you think? I’m thinking of continuing this detox for a few more weeks. However I’d like something to fall back on when I slowly use things again.Here’s my skin currently.Budget: $5-50CleansersThinking of getting rid of Vanicream and replacing it with Cetaphil or something else...Chemical Exfoliators and Treatments:TO Niacinamide broke me out but I’m gonna keep it until I decide what to do with it lol I haven’t touched any of my other TO products yet: Squalane oil, Glycolic toner, AHA BHA peel, AzA 10%. Not pictured because they came in the mail the day after this photo was taken: Buffet, Granactive 2% Retinoid Emulsion, and NMF + HA moisturizer.Differin was 14 weeks of nothing but dehydration and irritation. Idk what to do with these tubes. Ugh...ScarAway Gel: This packaging was crap. The gel was so tacky when it would come out of the tube. Not fun. Not worth the money.All those zit zapper products were ok. They worked for like the first few times and then they stopped being effective? Has that happened to anyone else? The Stridex was fine but, on my skin, it made it feel tight so I stopped using them.Moisturizers and HydratorsHATE that Vaseline. My skin doesn’t like that shit at all. Used it as my occlusive for a week and my skin broke out in CCs around my chin and cheeks. Nope. Happened too with Aquaphor, so I only use it on my lips.That CosRx Oil Free Birch Sap lotion smells like shit. Absolutely horrible! I had to stop using it after 5 tries because my eyes stung. Also, it wasn’t hydrating at all. So pass.Yes I have the CeraVe Cream in travel size version but I tossed it afterward. It is so thick and gross.The Elf Essence is new so no review. Same with the Aveeno scrub but I can say I used it years ago and loved it.Cetaphil lotion and their moisturizer-sunscreen....These were okay? Nothing to write home about.That is a new 2nd container of Neutrogena Hydroboost and their Sensitive Skin moisturizer so lol i like Hydroboost but it isn’t enough for me? Does anyone feel that way?The CeraVe PM is good. I’m almost out but I am debating if I need to get a new one.HATED the CeraVe Healing Ointment. It’s crap. Gave it away to a friend after this photo was taken.The Palmers smells so so good! But I’m afraid the cocoa butter may be too much on my skin.... sigh.On its way: Hado Labo Premium Delivered but not used yet: Statria LGMasksNot pictured: Aztec Healing. It’s on its last leg lol Like it but don’t love it. On my sensitive skin, it’s so hard to take off. 🙄
