Hi everybody,

As the title says, I've been on the Regimen for about 10 months now. I'm very proud I've made it this far and I am completely clear.

I have used Dan's products mostly the entire time with an occasional switch and sampling of different moisturizers.

I have changed my moisturizer to Moisturel Therapeutic Lotion, which actually softened my skin and reduced flaking. Sadly (and many people may agree) Dan's lotion isn't moisturizing enough and for fair complexions like mine, is very yellowing. Also it would ball up by the end of the day and when getting up in the morning.

Early in the Regimen, it was a "no go" to change any products to anything else as my skin was going through it's initial trails of adjusting to the BP. So I put the Moisturel lotion down for several months and dealt with Dan's. I finally returned to Moisturel a month ago. At first I mixed it with Dan's so my skin could adjust to the new formula. It was smooth sailing for a few weeks after using it alone. Flaking was reduced and no balling up and the skin got smoother. Redness went significantly down.

I then added some SPF to my moisturizer as I needed to consider doing so, as I went this whole time without it. I'm using Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer liquid sunscreen SPF 70. Great sunblock so far. I applied it today and I'm less red than last night. Could be the reflective quality to it. I've used this sunblock for a couple of weeks so far.

So the point is, after I moisturize my face, it starts getting warm and very red (without adding SPF). Sometimes there would be burning as well. This has been happening the past few days. This is very much like being at the beginning of the Regimen all over again. I slowed back down between each step and it hasn't helped except when increasing the waiting time between BP and moisturizer. If I wait too long after washing and before BP, I pay the price with burning eyes and skin redness and burning.

Today, I narrowed down cleansing to two splashes. One to get wet, and the other to wash away cleanser. The weather is hot again here where I live . The same conditions as when I started the Regimen. I've recalled myself taking a long time splashing my face several times as an effort to cool down. I think it may be partially to blame.

So what do you guys think? Ask me any questions you may have. Thanks for your help! :3

Oh, side note. I do use Dan's AHA+ every now and then at night. I used to use it every night but it causes me to have red rough patches. So I've reduced to every once in a few weeks. I never use it alone. I mix about a large pea size into the lotion.
