Alright so my acne is considered one of the light versions on this site but compared to everyone on my college campus it's pretty bad. I've always had it since like 15. I used to try and dry my skin out to make the pimples go away which i soon realized was the cause. i Went to college and this place has theeee harshest water ever. Everytime i wash my face no matter what I use i get extremely dry skin. With the dry winter coming im kind of nervous. My skin is dry, red and pimples are coming in fast. I tried the caveman regimen for a little no water on the face and it seemed to clear up a little but then I read some reviews saying it didn't work. Plus for 2 weeks my pores were pretty clogged. If anyone thinks it would work please convince me to do it again haha. I'll wrap it up my current routine is workout, sauna, shower with cetaphil cleanser, face is super dry, put on neutrageana moisturizer. Nothing is looking good the caveman regimen had me looking decent but then I got cocky and started eating bad. But please are there any tips for dry sensetive skin with harsh water? Also I get the acne on my forehead mostly sometimes the jawline.

 

Also in the summer i had a similar routine. Workout, sauna, wash face WITH cetaphil moisturizer lotion, turn it to cold then get out. This did work actually pretty well. It started going south when I started to use the cetaphil cleanser again because i accidently bought the moisturizer haha. Do you think i should try that again? I go to the sauna but I've heard it is bad for you now.. And im almost convinced the cleanser is irritating my skin..

 

Please share some advice it's ruining my confidence

Just pick up a bottle of neutrogena oil free moisterizer for sensitive skin. Maybe get a britta water filter or a filter of some sort to filter your water for face wash use?

Have you tried using manuka natural honey? I've been using it for more than a month now and it really helps with the huge acne on my face. I use manuka honey moisturiser and cleanser. I wash my face only twice a day morning and evening. I also use pure manuka honey instead of sugar for my coffee or tea.
