Before I got into skincare my face was mostly clear. Few pimples here and there but nothing crazy. I washed with water and sometimes used whatever lotion was around.Then I got into skincare. Started a 6 step routine. My skin EXPLODED. Purging I guess. Give it time they said. It's been 4 months and my skin is worse than it was before I started. I'm starting to think the skincare industry convinced me I had problems I didn't have and then sold me products that created new problems. Is it possible that some people's skin is just better off being left alone?
