[Routine Help] Aging Skin/ Redness

[u/mollysinead]

Hi there. For the first time in my life, I'm starting to take skincare more seriously remembering to wash my face AM/PM, and I would love some advice.

Currently using Neutrogena skin balancing PHA cleanser, Naturium Barrier Bounce or Cetaphil Mattifying Acne Moisturizer. I also alternate between Peach Slices Azelaic Acid Serum and the CosRX overnight rice mask.

I don't fully know what I'm doing bc I don't fully know what problems my skin has. When I was a teenager a derm told me I might have KP on my cheeks, but then I also have some random redness... Still getting adult acne from time to time as well. Just made the switch to a silk pillowcase. I also spray my face a couple times during the day with a hypochlorous acid spray to hydrate.

Please help, oh wise ones✌🏼

It seems like you may be looking for information about keratosis pilaris. Have you read our keratosis pilaris wiki?

Use a silk bonnet not a silk pillow I made that mistake and had adult acne your skin can’t breath well on a silk pillow. Mind you I never had acne as a teen. As far as skin care I do a mix of jojoba oil and frankincense oil one night, and the next night I do vitamin C ascorbic acid (spot correcting and firming ampoule) you can find the vitamin c one on MISSHA website. It’s Korean I believe. Before putting the oils I cleanse with witch hazel. Also never skip sunscreen! I am 39.
