Hello all,
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.
I started on the Regimen about 2 weeks ago. I just find it difficult to be super gentle with the regimen at night because i am using a mineral based all natural full coverage foundation that is covering this insane breakout i'm currently having but its also a bit difficult to take off even with using the jojoba oil so it requires a little more rubbing than recommend. Do any other girls out there know how effective the regimen will be while having to adjust it a bit with taking off makeup at night or have any better suggestions how to make it more effective so i can be more gentle?
Next question is that the BP hasn't seemed to do much to my skin at all. Its not irritated/red/peeling or anything. Its feeling a tad dryer than normal but thats about it. Definitely NOT complaining haha but i'm just a bit confused if it's even working when there seems to be zero effect on my skin.
Thanks everyone
Not everyone reacts to the bp in the same way. People with dry or sensitive skin seem to experience the most side effects. If you have skin that is tough or very oily it may not get as dried out as easily. Plus, during the first month you aren't using the full amount of bp yet since you are working your way up, so dryness may not set in this early.
As for your makeup, makeup that is full coverage and difficult to remove may be problematic for acne prone skin. Let me give you our makeup advice and tips.
