I used to think more products meant better skin, but the more acids, exfoliants, and serums I added, the more irritated and reactive my skin became. Now I mostly stick to cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

Lately my skin seems to respond better to simple barrier supporting ingredients like shea butter, oat, glycerin, and botanical oils instead of constantly using strong actives.

Curious if anyone else in their 30s started getting better results from doing less instead of more?

My face isn’t acne prone but it is definitely irritation prone and it it nowhere i started getting uneven redness, rough texture and whiteheads popping up all over.

Currently I’m using first aid beauty ultra repair cream nightly and rescue barrier balm on nights I use differin adapalene gel (twice a week). I also use the grande lash serum. The breakout started when I stopped using the gel for a week and I started back up last night. I want to start using the Dr. Melaxin calcium stick I’ve been seeing everywhere.

What products do you recommend for dry and irritated skin? I have Sephora and Ulta near me and also Amazon. Tyia 😇

Dry body skin honestly makes me feel just as uncomfortable as dry facial skin.

has anyone gotten the shiseido ultimune power infusing serum on YesStyle?

Is the product legit? Is it the same as the ones I get here in the US from places like Ulta, Macy's, and Sephora?

really, I am just shocked. Why is the price so much cheaper? for a comparison, at Macy's the price is almost $55/ounce. Costo currently has the serum for $41 per ounce. YesStyle has it for almost $30/ounce. Why is there such a big discrepancy?

I would consider my skin to be quite sensitive especially when it comes to weather changes.

When weather turns hot, my skin becomes annoyingly oily, and my nose would turn red and start to hurt. Sometimes the wing of my nose gets red and hard, and it hurts when i touch my nose. My forehead, cheeks and the bridge of my nose also grows acne pretty often.

It doesn't happen all the time, more like once in a week, the conditions disappear and reappears again so it gets pretty annoying.

I am going to start doing skin care and I've bought something called PERFECT WHITE ACNE CARE - BRIGHTENING FOAM CLEANSER - 100X VITAMIN C (HEARTLEAF & NIACINAMIDE).

I've heard that Salicylic Acid can clear oily skin, is this true?

Also, should i start eating any vitamin pills?

I have dry skin and wanted to start gua sha. I have heard gua sha works well at morning; I’ve dry skin and don’t use cleanser at morning. Now I wanted to ask if I do it in morning, I need facial oil or serum or vaseline but if I don’t use cleanser after doing gua sha, how can I use my morning skin products? Will those clog my pores?
