Beauty Tips For Body Care
Please, Redditors, help a former skincare addict back in the groove in decision paralysis!I tried to structure this best as I could but it’s still a lot of info. All my “commentary” is at the end, but there’s still a lot! I apologize for that.To anyone who reads this, thank you for taking the time!Main QuestionsWhat should my routine look like to protect my sensitive, dry skin during winter? What might be good brands or products?What exfoliant and/of other product should I get get rid of the spots on my forehead?Bonus - really not important: * Do I need masks of some sort? What to look for in masks? *can I combine different brands or must I use the same series? * do I need eye cream when I don’t have a lot of wrinkles?——Basics:Age: 31Location: Sweden (but willing to buy abroad if necessary)Budget: less than $200 for entire routinePictures my face in two different light, of my forehead and one of the lovely spectacle I become when I run](https://imgur.com/a/9gopj12)Problems:No “real” routine atm, just “emergency one”Very dry, sensitive skin in winter (but still prone to oiliness and sweat in the t-zone)Milia? or something similar on forehead Redness/uneven skintone/boring looking skin (picture 2 is more accurate)Skin status:my skin overall is pretty good, no big complaints.combination with very oily in summer and paper thin and dry in winterSensitive skin, both to fragrance, heat and coldIn very cold weather, I get a rash on my cheeks or even cold urticariaI sweat VERY much (I have a clinical diagnosis of hyperhidrosis (it’s fun…))Gets red REALLY easily, see pictureNot acne-prone but have recently developed somethings on my forehead that might be milia but I’m not sureCurrent routine:Morning: - Wash quickly with cethaphil cleanser - Avène AntiRedness Emulsion SPF 30 - (Primer and makeup, Setting spray, occasionally spray antiperspirant)Evening: - Cleanser: Babor Hy-öl (this is absolutely fantastic and has helped me through the winter many times!) - Granier miceallar water - Serum: Ordinary Buffet - Any random moisturizer I have in the cupboardBackstoryWithout making this too pitiful: I’ve been on medical leave for burnout for a while and my skin has not been my top priority, despite it being something I used to spend quite a bit of money and time on.A lot of my old stuff is running out or has expired and I need to replace it but the research jungle is overwhelming me right now. It sound stupid but I get all tangled up and can’t make any decisions.I used to use a lot of the Ordinary and I liked it, but (and this is gonna sound stupid too), right now trying to figure out a routine for which products of theirs to use and when is precisely the sort of thing my brain rears at.)My current routine really is my “last resort routine”.I went to a good skincare store and they gave me routine that would’ve cost $380 with products from Medik8 and yeeaaah, that’s not in the budget.If you made it this far, congratulations! and my humblest thanks.
