I didn't know how to add a picture so here's a link please help me!
Im 16 years old and I have a history of of overwashing my skin and overexfoliating the past year. I never used anything crazy just normal drugstore products all the time and I didn't know what type of skin I had and just plopped on anything I could find because I thought it was okay. I had perfect skin until I ruined it myself besides the hormonal acne on my chin I should've had good skin. I don't know how to fix the texture on my forehead, it's weird because it feels smooth but as you can see it looks horrible. It doesn't even look like I have clogged pores i just have raised pores and I'm pretty sure I developed sebaceous filaments. Now all I do is exfoliate with simple scrub with an alcohol free timer and Clinique moisturizer but I don't know how else to fix this. I want my skin to look smooth not just feel smooth
are you sure they are not post acne marks?
its good you have acknowledged you have in the past over washed / over exfoliating. imo people need to get out of the mind set that they can simply wash or scrub away acne. most people find simply washing their face once a day with a mild sls free soap/wash or even only using water, gives their face a rest = better, calmer skin and less spots.

I surely feel like I overexfoliated and now my skin is oily red and has almost like an orange peel texture but i don't know if I should leave it alone or not. I have been exfoliatingbandbtrying new products and nothing will help. Maybe if I be very careful for a month some of the damage will subside. I'm going on vacation this summer and I want my skin to be good even if it can't get back to the way it was. I have 6 months to try and help my skin but I don't know how to help it.
over washing strips your skin and makes it produce more sebum. (+ some products/washes are crap. if they irritate your skin, ditch them asap)
try thecaveman regimen, it will sort your skin out in 3-5days. google it
