I had a bad reaction and damaged skin barrier about a year ago and stopped all products. My skin looked great after about a week, no breakouts or redness and it looked more glowy ig.
But now every time I use a product it either makes my face red, or hot or breakout. I've tried avene sensitive cleanser, toleraine cleanser and moisturiser and cerave gentle cleanser, all across the span of a year with gradual introduction to avoid damage. And yet my skin genuinely looks better w/o products.
It feels too good to be true. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this?
And why is my skin so reactive even when I use no products for months at a time?
