Hey guys!
I really need your help I am desperate. I do not know what to do anymore nothing is working and I am loosing hope. My skin is knocking my confidence so much and when I put makeup on it looks even worse! I have never had bad skin in my life. All of a sudden I have broken out with different size bumps all over my forehead. I tried treating them without doing my research and I made it worse. I went to the GP and they prescribed me duac however it seems not to be working. They have now given me epiduo but now it has spread and has gone onto my cheeks (I have never had any spots on my cheeks). I do not know what to do, Ive ditched my whole routine and just use miscellar water and Paulas choice BHA 2 times a week. Maybe it is due to dehydration? Or maybe I have broken the skin barrier by using too many actives? Please help !! I am thinking it is maybe hormonal as my period is now irregular. I have cut sugar out and Ive been taking ginger and tumeric shots aswell as probiotics.
I have to wonder if maybe it's a reaction to something? Have you started taking a new medication? Sometimes medications will have reactions like that.
Otherwise, I wonder if it could be makeup. Even if you started a new makeup 3 months ago it can take that long for it to start reacting to your skin.
Next is irritation. If you started scrubbing your skin that can cause breakouts like that. You want to be super gentle.
Since you say you are desperate and this is really bothering you, my suggestion would be to do a big elimination type of thing and get to the bottom of it. If you started any new medication or supplement or whatever, ask your doc if you really need it. Also, eliminate any makeup you've been using. Also, treat your skin very gently at all times. Never scrub. And for diet, consider the carnivore diet, which is the ultimate elimination diet. Once you've eliminated all of the above stuff, see if things go back to normal. Then you can add 1 thing back at a time and see how things go and how your skin reacts.
And if its really bugging you, in the meantime you can use The Regimen to get clear, but I'd say to even eliminate that after a few weeks of eliminating everything else and being carnivore. See if you can get clear naturally, which I would think you could since you have always been clear.
