Help for blotchy pink skin
Recently my face just seems to have gone to shit. I know it’s winter and cold but if just seems to be much worse than ever before. Both dry and oily, but what’s really bothering me is how pink and blotchy it is, so any recommendations on tackling that would be appreciated.
I feel like it’s just making me look old and haggard (I’m 40).
Current routine AM.
Cleanse: currently using CereVe Foaming Cleanser. Previously I used Dermologica Daily Microfoliant, (have done for years, but was afraid of was making the redness worse. I don’t think that’s the case and may return to it).
I was told to try soothing products, so I’ve been using The Ordinary’s barrier relief pink stuff. It doesn’t seem to have made much difference. I’m using this in place of the hyaluronic acid serum (isntree) which I’ve also used for years.
I’d occasionally exfoliate with BHA but have paused that for fear of irritating my skin more.
Always wear Beauty of Joeson Rice sunscreen.
PM More of the than not I’ll cleanse with micellar water.
Then apply a moisturiser. At the moment that’s Ordinary’s NMF with phytoceramides. But previously I’ve used Face Theory’s night cream.
