Hello guys... im 35 (F) Every year when summer starts here in the Middle East, I break out almost immediately. It literally started yesterday and I already have 3 new pimples.
Day before yesterday, my cheeks had this weird prickly feeling, so I avoided actives and just used moisturizer.
Yesterday morning, I woke up with redness, and by evening my skin felt heavy with a few closed comedones showing up.
Today, I woke up with a small painful pimple and a couple more starting… and I’m honestly panicking because I know where this leads. Last year it turned into full-face acne that only cleared around November.
What’s confusing is my skin feels prickly, tight, and dry...almost like it’s being sucked by a dementor...but at the same time I have oily, acne-prone skin.
Has anyone experienced this kind of heat/humidity-triggered acne?
What actually helps to stop it early before it turns into a full breakout?
Please do help.
