Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have combination & sensitive skin. My forehead, temples, cheeks, and chin are prone to mild acne (a mix of closed comedones, papular, and pustular). My periorbital skin is very thin, dry, and sensitive. I'm having a hard time keeping my eye skin moisturized and protected from the sun while still treating the acne. If I apply my acne topicals before moisturizer / SPF, I run the risk of rubbing the medication onto my eyelids when I apply moisturizer / SPF (even if I let the topical dry first). Sometimes I try applying SPF to my eyelids before I rub it into the rest of my face, so that once the SPF touches the acne-treated skin, it doesn't end up on my eyelids. But when I do that, I end up over-applying the SPF to my eyelids, and it seeps into my eyes and burns. Any tips on how to keep my eyelids sun-protected AND free of topical acne medication?Current routineAM: Rinse face with water, Clinique All About Eyes rich to periorbital skin, apply some acne topical (see below, I cycle throughout the week) either to problem areas or to the entire face with the exception of my periorbital skin, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer UV SPF 30 to entire face.PM: Wash with Natural Elephant Dead Sea Sulfur Soap, Clinique All About Eyes rich to periorbital skin, apply some acne topical, Heritage Store Rosehip Seed Oil to entire face.Acne topicals that I cycle through: Clindamycin 1%, Finacea 15%, Retin-A Micro 0.06%, Aczone 7.5%Duration of current routine:I've rinsed with water in the morning and used Clinique All About Eyes rich as long as I can rememberI've used Retin-A Micro and Aczone for several years (though I took a year hiatus and started using them again 3 or so months ago)Dead Sea Sulfur soap x 2 monthsI've started the LRP SPF as well as the topical Clinda and Finacea for about 4 weeksMy eyelids have always been very dry and sensitive, but they've been extra sensitive ever since I had an allergic reaction to Benzoyl Peroxide 6 weeks ago (I didn't apply it directly to my eyelids, but it must have spread there).TIA for any advice :)
