am i doing too much to my skin? how is my skin care routine ?
i just read an article that using too many face products can be harmful to your skin and im worried that i might be doing too much (im 19 y/o female with combination skin)
morning: cleanse with clarisonic using cetaphil cleanser
spot treat acne with murad acne spot treatment
spot treat acne marks with some glycolic acid stuff i got from the dermatologist
c.booth black licorice eye cream
neutragena spf 50 moisturizer
night:
cleanse with clarisonic/cetaphil
spot treat acne with murad
spot treat with glycolic acid
c.booth eye cream
ole henriksen vitamin c truth serum
cetaphil moisturizer
then every 5 days ill exfoliate with olay microdermabrasion system
oh and about once a week ill use either ddf face mask or boscia black peel off face mask
would it be alright if i took out the glycolic acid/acne spot treatment so it'd just be
cleanse with clarisonic/cetaphil
cbooth eye cream
spf moisturizer
and night
cleanse with cetaphil/clarisonic
cbooth eye cream
ole henriksen serum
moisturize
and then exfoliate every 5 days

Yeah, that happens to be a tad too much…I would limit yourself to like 2 or 3 medications a day.
oh my gosh your killing your skin with chemicals!!!!! i dont know what you are using all of this for if its just acne but your skin is overwhelmed and all that stuff is not helping you obviously.
Okay slow down there! Thats WAY to much stuff for your skin, your killing it! Your face needs to breath.
I have combo skin as well. All i do is use dove deep moisture for my face after i use clean and clear face exfoliater. I also put the moisture lotion on my face before makeup. Thats IT.
Think of how much damage your causing. That article is right. Just use 1-3 products a day and exfoliate once a week or so with a soft scrub (got mine from sally beauty) and a face cleanser. Hope this helps
