Hi everyone,
I’m a 27-year-old woman and I’m struggling with my skin looking really dehydrated, crepey, textured and kind of “paper-like,” especially around my cheeks and under my eyes. My skin feels tight and sensitive, and I sometimes get small bumps/clogged pores, so I’m really confused about what’s going on.
This is my current routine:
Morning:
- Face Facts Hydrating Gentle Cleanser with hyaluronic acid and oat
- The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
- Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream
Evening:
- Face Facts Hydrating Gentle Cleanser
- The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
- Vitamin C cream from Normal
Once a week:
- The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Sometimes:
- The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2%
- Other random serums
I feel like my skin has gradually gotten worse over time and I don’t really understand why. I recently stopped using most active ingredients because I think I may have overdone it.
I would really appreciate recommendations for a simple skincare routine and gentle products that could help improve hydration, texture and overall skin barrier health ❤️
