Beauty Tips For Body Care
I had really bad acne a few months back and went to a doctor, who prescribed me a face wash in the morning and evening, an oral antibiotic after every two days, arynoin plus(combination of isotretinoin and azithromycin) in the night and a cream for acne scars(its active ingrediants include salicylic acid etc) in the morning.He told me to use all of that stuff for two months and then come back to him. During those two months my skin broke out, but I expected that because of the retinoid. At the end of the two months my skin started getting better. On the second appointment, the doctor prescribed me a sunscreen in the morning and took out the oral antibiotics and facewash told me to come back after 3 months.At the end of those three months, my skin became really clear. And it also felt as soft as a baby's. But i also started to notice how shiny my skin was. It wasn't oily at all. I've dealt with oily skin before and this is definitely not it. I went back to the doctor and he took out arynoin plus and the sunscreen and instead prescribed me clindamycin phosphate and another facewash called "rejox" facewash. Im on this routine right now. What do I do to fix this? Is this shiny skin permenant?tl;dr: My skin isn't oily at all but still reflects light like a fucking mirror.

[acne] Persistent mild, hormonal acne.
Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been using tretinoin 0.025% for almost a year now, I've been using Spironolactone for about 4-5 months. I wash my pillowcases regularly, don't touch my face, etc. My mild acne, which is mostly hormonal and CCs, will not go away! I know that none of my other products are breaking me out because I've individually tested them all.I know they don't give accutane unless it's severe and mine isn't, it's pretty mild and focused around my chin, but what do I do when I've exhausted every option?am Cetaphil gentle cleanser Spot treat with benzoyl peroxide Olay moisturizing cream for sensitive skin Khiehls mineral sunscreenpm Cetaphil gentle cleanser Tretinoin 0.025% Olay moisturizing cream

[Skin Concerns] Here's what I learned from suffering for two decades with Seborrheic Dermatitis...
Beauty Tips For Body Care
Basically I have a particularly difficult case of seb derm and it's taken me about 20 years to really be happy with my skin.My skin type: Male, typical seb derm symptoms but severe. Blotchy, dry, flaky uneven toned facial skin with consistent white heads. Flaky, greasy eyebrows and scalp. Particularly bad eyelid inflammation.Current Regimen: Zinc bar once a week on face and eyebrows, Nizoral on same day in hair. Eucerin original cream twice a day, Cerave hydrating cleanser twice a day. Free and Clear shampoo and conditioner every day.Biggest takeaways from my struggle:I now use the heaviest moisturizer i can find, twice a day (Eucerin Original Cream). I undermoisturized for far too long because I worried about being too greasy.I took too long to come around on the Zinc bar. I only use it on my eyebrows and facial skin once a week (along with Nizoral on my hair) but it makes a massive difference. You don't really know how much 'stuff' seb derm puts on your face until you scrub it off with the right medicine.You have to give products a few days or weeks to really see if they work. I would cycle through ideas too quickly and end up repeating bad ideas later, or not giving good ideas enough of a chance.My lips were always a good indicator of whether a facial moisturizer wasn't strong enough. Now that my facial skin is moisturized, i dont have to put anything on my lips directly.Much of my acne was the result of dryness, not grease or bacteria. Almost all of the little red bumps and white heads went away when my skin was moisturized.Finally, for my eyes: I was diagnosed with blepharitis by an opthalmologist, but in reality I just needed to put the heavy moisturizer on my eyelids and this reduced inflammtion almost completely. Don't forget to moisturize around the eyes and directly on the lids.Final note: My skin condition made my life 10 times harder than it needed to be, don't listen to people who say 'i don't see anything wrong' or 'it looks okay to me.' You know how much your skin bothers you, so deal with it. Even my therapist encouraged my for 2 years to keep up experimenting with skin treatments, because she really believed it would have an impact on my mental health. I feel like a new person.
