Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been using Curology for around two years to treat my acne, and recently my dermatologist recommended I increase from 0.009% to 0.018% tretinoin. I'd tried that before, but had to switch back to 0.009% because my skin got insanely dry. Sure enough, when I increased the tretinoin this time I started to see a ton of dryness, especially around my mouth. It was almost worse than my acne because at least I could hide the acne with makeup, but makeup just made my skin look super flakey. I tried all of my dermatologist's recommendations to help with the dryness and stopped putting my Curology formula near my mouth, etc. but nothing worked.Then the other day I was in CVS and randomly decided to buy Aquaphor Healing Ointment after reading about it here. I've only been using it for three days, applying it before my Curology formula, and it's already made such a big difference. The skin around my mouth is no longer dry at all, and other areas of my face look way better. I'd had a lot of dry skin near my nose and between my eyes, even back when I used 0.009% tretinoin, and now it's completely gone. I'm so happy that I tried Aquaphor and just wanted to share! I hope this doesn't break any rules.
