Need skincare advice...

Water, water and more water. Try bentonite clay mask with apple cider vinegar to mix. Followed by a moisturizer. You can find it on amazon.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much!!

I've bee using curology. I've seen so much improvement in my skin

View Quoted Comment Awesome, thank you, I will look into it! I had tried proactive in college (so been a while) but it made my skin itch from dryness, too.

Since you've reported your skin is very particular, I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist. They will be able to steer you towards a product that may be less likely to cause a negative reaction.

Try Cetaphil gentle cleansing soap. They also have lotion but my dermatologist has me use Aquafor for the dryness. Don’t scrub. When it’s safe, see a dermatologist. I see mine normally every 6-8 weeks for my rosacea. You might be having an allergic reaction to something like grapefruit or eating strawberries.

Definitely see a dermatologist. Some skin conditions can't be treated with over the counter products and what works for one person won't work for someone else. Sometimes it's alot of trial and error with the doctor until you see positive results.

Long time acne victim here. Lol 😂 the only way my skin has improved personally, is by seeing my esthetician every 4-6 weeks for the past two years. Also, having a decent skin regimen at home and keeping up with it. And yes, Drinking water literally all day! I still break out ocassionally but it’s only hormonal acne when I’m PMSing. Nothing like it was before.

Gallon of water a day will help like no other! Try soaking in oatmeal baths, and using rosewater(boil food safe rose petals in purified water) to cleanse, along with steam (maybe with eucalyptus oil). Dont do straight moisture as it will clog pores. Instead use moisturizing ingredients in a liquid form or a mask. V shape collagen masks while you sleep too. dermatologist or personalized forum such as curology will help more as they can pinpoint the 1001 things it could be and how to solve that specific problem.

I suggest to see a dermatologist. You don’t want to try a few and risking it to get worse. Good luck, Kerin

I have started having the same issue, but my jawline! Absolutely recommend seeing a dermatologist over online advice, since everyone’s skin is different and some products work for some and not others! You don’t want to spend a ton of money on recommended products for them not to work for you. I was able to see a dermatologist via telehealth visit and they have me on a treatment plan that is really helping! Obviously drinking water and not touching that part of your face helps, but definitely think about seeing a dermatologist for products to use!

I have a friend who is an esthetician but she is in another state and I didn't even think about asking her! I'll see if she can recommend something to start calming my skin while I look for a dermatologist. Thank you for the advice!

Is telehealth something specific to your insurance provider? I will look into a dermatologist, I've just never seen one before so not sure where to start...I guess I'll just go to my insurance provider's site and search by specialty, see what comes up

View Quoted Comment Absolutely! Do a FaceTime call with her so she can take a look and see what she recommends! good luck !

View Quoted Comment Due to COVID-19, I think all insurances are supposed to cover telehealth appointments so you can still get medical treatment, but not put yourself at risk. Definitely look up dermatologists that your insurance covers and ask your insurance about telehealth!
