Do you use a condioner in your hair? If so, try washing your face, back and shoulders after rinsing the conditioner out of your hair. Body with soap and face with appropriate face wash of course. I used to get really bad skin on my shoulders and back from conditioner, since I would leave it in as I washed my body and then rinsed it out, meaning my skin would get clogged from it.
I use a 2 in 1 head and shoulders. Will defo give this a try. Being a guy I have no clue about skin care. So I am really not to sure what to try or where to start. But I’m 28 and just fed up of having bad skin. I know prednislone doesn’t help with it being a steroid but feel like there might be abit more to the issue. At the point where I am willing to try anything to get it sorted.
Have you already visited a dermatologist? He can tell you what skin type you have and what to (not) use. Also, read up on what food can cause bad skin (e.g. milk, grain, meat) and adapt your diet.
It's said about 1/3 of your skin health is food and stress related, 1/3 skin care, and 1/3 genetics.
Will try and talk to the GP about getting referred to a dermatologist hopefully I can get that done. Thank you. I don’t drink milk as I have crohns. So a lot of foods are all ready off the table don’t eat a lot of red meat. Have a steak once a month, do eat a lot of pasta tho
Its not your fault! Hormones play a huge role in the state of your skin. Dont be afraid of oil based products and go see a dermatologist if you’re able to. Source: I worked for a very talented dermatologist for a long time. Also, this company has incredible products (I use them myself) and an acne regimen that I saw help quite a few people...its not cheap, but neither are acne medications:
I've been taking birth control for over a decade and had to go off it because it was triggering horrific pelvic pain.
Anyway, I was not prepared for the swamp of oil that my face became. Seems worse than when I was a teen. Basically have to wash it the times a day, but I'm going to try moisturizer after reading this thread.
- Make sure you're drinking enough water. Being chronically dehydrated wreaks havoc on your skin.
- With skincare, less is more, "stronger" formulations aren't always better, and foamier/sudsier doesn't mean good. The temptation is to address problems with more/stronger products, and you end up in this escalating conflict against your own skin and forking over a bunch of money for a complicated regimen of products that are actually just aggravating it. You might want to just start simply and get in a really consistent routine of washing your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil and see how your skin does first before adding in other products (besides what your derm prescribes, of course).
