My oiliness is only a little bit and in small spots, maybe not as bad as yours, and I mentioned this post (sorry) and asked her advice. She said she'd love to come and read your blog. But, her advice was not very in depth. Would something similar to your routine, but less harsh with the BHA's and a gentler cleanser, be suitable for someone whose 'gunk' is less bad?<br /><br />Also - I'm sorry you've had a rough time and not felt up to skin care. I notice you've been away again for some months and wish you all the best with whatever is going on right now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140097946120891285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-7786719194092540332017-02-27T17:40:01.961-08:002017-02-27T17:40:01.961-08:00Hi Cat,

However, suddenly skin around my mouth and eyes and between my eyebrows are becoming so flaky, by which I mean it obviously peels off. I have tried exfoliating and more moisturizing gel but it didn't seem to improve. Have you ever experienced flaky skin and what would you do to improve the condition? Thankz a lot, I'm desperate!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347291989003732812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-33555475491960574632016-12-13T11:28:40.096-08:002016-12-13T11:28:40.096-08:00I have had a few weeks of neglect and am so glad I...I have had a few weeks of neglect and am so glad I found this article. Is my bae sunscreen, Biore Watery Essence, too harsh for right now? I have fairly normal skin and don't normally have any problem with that sunscreen, but should I be avoiding the alcohol in that sunscreen? The shiseido one seems like it might be too heavy though.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618200706137741385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-53668324351545037642016-11-29T16:49:12.973-08:002016-11-29T16:49:12.973-08:00Agree with your assessment.

My skin went kerflooey, much as other systems (immune mediated arthritis and gastro (my mum called them gizzards....) When I got a couple of infections. Haven't had great success w/hcbs. Think I tried them too early in the formation. Plus, if you use the Paula bha 9, it tends to damp them down, rather than draw them out. You reminded me to use the aha, too. Finding an aha that passed my personal cosdna was lengthy. You'd think I'd remember. S.o. Asked why no BP? Another thing I've been allergic to for a dog's age. If my middle names weren't google and cosdna, and my favorite channel wasn't investigation discovery, I'd bloody well hate skincare. Think I'll go wash and try a lululun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996326835644739269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-23791148844829379902016-11-27T09:25:32.587-08:002016-11-27T09:25:32.587-08:00How long do you plan on using the SOS routine?

If I feel like I have a bad breakout coming on I will often use Origin's charcoal mask to help bring things to the surface and then use HCB once they're open..... mostly just because the charcoal mask is cheaper! :p <br /><br />Also, I've been sheetmasking daily for about a week and my skin is so much better.... I may need to do this more often. Even made a spreadsheet!

It makes sense now that I think about it since Bp goes in the pores and eradicates the bacteria that cause acne. If I don't use Bp consistently the bacteria will reclaim their spot in my pores.
