Help with skin care!
I’m looking for skincare advice because my skin has been freaking out lately and I’m not sure where to start. 😅
I came off birth control about 9 months ago, and ever since then I’ve been dealing with breakouts. The weird part is they’re usually worse throughout the day/evening, then calm down overnight, and by the next day they flare up again. Pictures attached for reference on the place and type I am having.
Right now my routine is SUPER minimal because my skin is extremely sensitive. I only wash my face at night with a plain unscented soap from Trader Joe’s. I use Merit makeup and haven’t had issues with it in the past, so I don’t think that’s the cause.
I’m looking for recommendations on things to try that are gentle/minimal but maybe help “clean things out” a little without destroying my skin barrier. I’m nervous about harsh products because my face reacts to basically everything.
Also open to any other suggestions (supplements, routines, things that helped after getting off birth control, or anything else)!
Would especially love advice from anyone with sensitive skin + post birth control acne/hormonal breakouts. 🙏
