Earlier this year I wanted to begin removing some of the redness I have on my face, in addition to preventing the whiteheads that would appear on my chin or to the sides of my mouth every few days. For the record, my face leans on the dry side of things, not oily. So, I began using the following products:

• Cerave Hydrating Facial Wash - 1x every evening
• Salicylic Acid Peel 30% - 1x every 2 weeks for 7 minutes
• Pure Dead Sea Mud Mask - 1x every 2 weeks for 10 minutes, 5 days after Salicylic Acid

I've been doing this routine since March and if anything I've broken out far more than I ever have in the past.

I am wondering if what I am doing is wrong, and if I should stop doing the daily facial wash altogether. I feel like it has done more harm than good.

Thanks!
