While on the regimen,

many users like myself tend to have dead skin that feels and flakes all over the face.

These are usually seen after cleansing and waiting about 5 minutes.

The Face gets tight and there are dead skin.


What do i do? Since dead skin cells is supposed to clog pores, do i try and remove it?

when i use my nail to try and scratch it off, it gets itchy, when i wake up there is usually a breakout or a big ol pimple.

Should i just leave it alone even if the skin feels dry as hell, and just put BP over it?


Spec: re-started regimen in Aug 20. Its been nearly 3 months and i am 90% clear.

i still have breakouts on my lip and chin because those are the parts where i put the most amount of BP, and see the most dead cells. I use 2x more on my forehead and it doesnt dry up at all. Why is that? is my forehead adjusted to BP and not my chin?

a year ago on the regimen, i got my forehead completely clear with BP, is that why it can handle it easier now?

Sorry for the amounts of questions xD

You could try the baby brush method or exfoliating with jojoba oil.

if you put wax over your face like that and wipe it off or wash it, would BP still absorb the same?

i think most of the time its just left over bp. because whenever i sweat i get really flaky and i i start to rub it off but it seems to be just bp.

Nah, it's after i wash my face.

i can see a bunch of visible dead skin cells in the mustache and beard areas.

Also the small piece of skin under my nose, i guess those are the most sensitive areas on my skin.

The baby brush method looks OK, though i've already tried Jojoba oil, everything i put it on it tends to make my skin feel irritated and heavy.

Though when mixing it with a moisturizer or AHA it feels fine.

I'm still only on 1 full pump of BP, its been too months and its still too much for my skin. I don't think ill hit 2 full pumps. Maybe within a year hahaha.

AHA burns every time i see visible dead skin.

sigh... stupid Acne.
