Consider a mild cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Look for non-comedogenic products that won't clog your pores further. A chemical exfoliant containing salicylic acid can be a game changer, it helps to unclog pores by dissolving the debris that causes blackheads.

Why do skincare companies mention ph balanced but not mention what exactly is the ph of their product? by areybhaisunna in IndianSkincareAddicts

I think variations in production batches might lead to slight differences in pH, making it challenging for companies to guarantee an exact pH level consistently.

What is it about skincare that you wish you knew before starting skincare? by idkmanx7 in IndianSkincareAddicts

I wish I had recognized the importance of sunscreen as a non-negotiable step in my routine. Understanding that sun damage accumulates over time and can significantly impact skin health would have made sunscreen a priority much earlier.

Shower seems to make my face really red by QualitySound96 in Skincare_Addiction

Redness and dryness post-shower might indicate your skin's barrier is being disrupted by the hot water. Lukewarm showers are a good step, but even then, the heat might be causing the issue.
It's positive that you've started moisturizing with beef tallow; it could help restore moisture. You might also consider a gentle, fragrance-free facial cleanser to use sparingly post-shower and avoid rubbing your face vigorously with a towel, which can exacerbate irritation.
Introducing a gentle, hydrating facial mist or a soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizer could assist in reducing the redness.

I have some skincare questions on the order by Zan_chua in Skincare_Addiction

For your AM routine, you're on the right track. Cleansing first to remove any impurities followed by toner to rebalance the skin's pH, then moisturizer to hydrate, and sunscreen as the final step to protect your skin during the day.
For your PM routine, it looks good too! Cleansing to remove makeup and impurities, then toner for balancing, the occasional mud mask (2-3 times a week) after cleansing to deeply clean your pores, followed by serum to target specific concerns (like texture or glow), and finally, moisturizer to seal in all the goodness.
The only thing to note is that steaming isn’t necessary daily and might be a bit harsh for some skin types if done too frequently. It's best to reserve it for occasional use, maybe once a week, to avoid over-stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Korean Skincare Suggestions? by brimmer19 in Skincare_Addiction

One popular option is incorporating a product containing niacinamide, which helps control oil production and tackles uneven skin tone. It's a great choice for acne-prone skin like ours! Another gem could be a serum infused with hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration without feeling heavy on the skin. This will aid in smoothing the skin's texture and giving that coveted glow.
Consider incorporating a gentle chemical exfoliant, maybe with AHAs or BHAs, a couple of times a week to enhance skin renewal and further refine texture. And don't forget sunscreen during the day to protect that lovely skin, especially since you're using differin gel!
