Beauty Tips For Body Care
I’ve been dealing with skin issues for about 9 years now. I’ve tried many, many different products/routines to no avail. My skin has gone through a lot and I’m sure that all the years of me not knowing what to do has damaged my skin, maybe to a point of no return.For the past couple of years I’ve been trying to understand my skin and figure out what it needs but I feel like nothing works on my skin. No matter what I do I feel like my skin looks “dirty” I don’t feel comfortable even looking at my face in certain lightings/times of day because I’m just so sick of seeing how bad my skin looks. Living with bad skin for years has really robbed me of a lot confidence, and happiness. I know it’s superficial but at 20 years old I’m fed up with my skin, I just want clear skin more than anything rn lol.My skin has slightly gotten better over the years but it’s not where I want it to be at all. I feel that my skin does not loon like that of a normal 20 year old. Besides my acne I also have prominent fine lines that just make my skin look worse overall. It worries me that the older I get the worse my skin will look and I’ll still be dealing with acne.Currently my issue is texture. My skin looks very textured and bumpy. I also have very large pores on my cheeks and nose, and get cystic acne on my chin. They don’t always look so bad, it depends on the lighting. Sometimes my face can look smooth and bump free and other times not so much, hence i hate the way my skin looks in sunlight. Makeup also accentuates all the bumps. My skin does not feel smooth either. I also feel like my skin just looks dirty and kind of lifeless. My dream would to be have skin that not only looks smooth but feels smooth and glows. My skin is also quite sensitive I feel like every little thing causes more little bumps to appear. I feel like I’m walking on thin ice with my skin because I never know what will make it freak out. I’ve had this kind of texture for 4-5 years now and my pores have significantly gotten bigger over the years. This is embarrassing but after visiting an esthetician I discovered that what I thought were black heads on my cheeks are actually hairs which I think contributes to my pore size. I messed up and starting shaving my face and now I cannot figure out how to get rid of the hairs because they don’t grow long enough for me to get them waxed or threaded and tweezing them turns them into bumps.I’ve tried many products that supposedly help with texture Here’s everything I’ve tried to get rid of these bumps and acne in general.AHAs, lactic acid, glycolic acid, and mandelic acidBHAs, salicylic acidBenzoyl peroxideMonthly microdermabrasion for a year done by an estheticianMonthly chemical peels for a year by an estheticianAt home chemical peelsHaving a minimal skincare routineHaving a harsh skincare routine, ex putting lemon and baking soda on my faceAdaplene 0.1% for over a year and Adapalene 0.3% for 4 months (currently using)sulfur soapoxy padsdrinking lots of water 2-3 literscutting out dairybirth control (currently on)I’m currently seeing a dermatologist who so far has prescribed me adapalene 0.3%, clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide, Minocycline which I can no longer take although it did help.My routine:(AM) - Wash face with warm/cool water - Apply Shiseido Senka uv sunscreen spf 50 or Elta MD uv daily spf 40 - If my skin feels dry I apply TO natural moisturizing factors(PM) - Wash face with PCA skin creamy cleanser - Apply adapalene 0.3% gel all over face except nose - Apply clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide on nose - Apply either squalene oil, rose seed hip oil, or the TO natural moisturizing factors. Recently I haven’t been using the oils.Once a week use TO AHA BHA peeling solution Taking birth control.pics
