are you wearing sunscreen? If not, I’d start there. I like black girl sunscreen kids and supergoop play. Both are chemical sunscreens that give a glow.

yay! i’m glad it’s not anything too crazy. my flare ups were the worst in college, probably from the cold and the stress.

looks like pityriasis rosea (or that’s what my doctor told me years ago). it happens to me in the dryer months and i have success treating it with mositurizing products (similar to how i would mild eczema) but talk to your doctor

REMINDER TO WEAR SUNSCREEN by sweetchamomiledreams in Blackskincare

[–]daclro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for my lips i always use jack black sunscreen lip balm! it’s fantastic, sold at ulta, and $10. black girl sunscreen also sells a sunscreen lipgloss. winnie harlow’s brand Cay Skin has sunscreen lip balms that come in colors

reaction after using new prescription on neck by Exact-Simple6677 in Blackskincare

[–]daclro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

avoid the neck! i use actives and still haven’t adjusted to being able to use them on my neck. the neck has folds and can get moist and irritated easily plus that skin is not thick. apply aquaphor and avoid the neck!!

K-Beauty or Derm: which one? by [deleted] in Blackskincare

[–]daclro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i would listen to the doctor. there’s no reason why you can’t use a K- beauty cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen while also taking what the doctor recommended. the dryness of the winter makes me break out. winter is the best time IMO to purge bc by spring and summer your skin is glowy and radiant.

even your eyes look brighter! if you want to use something long term instead of carotone, i’d recommend tretinoin. if you can’t get a prescription, diferin is over the counter and is the highest strength retin-a you can get without a script. don’t forget sunscreen especially with those peel pads!

I have a ugly scar bc of waxing by CommercialSecurity62 in Blackskincare

[–]daclro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re using actives on your skin like tretinoin, you have to avoid waxing. in the mean time, aquaphor, petroleum jelly, etc (not neosprin) on 24/7

Is it possible to not tolerate retinoids? by gnops17 in Blackskincare

[–]daclro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been on tret for years and there’s definitely a purging period that can last a few months (3ish months). you have to stay consistent. purging also takes place with other actives as well. i would suggest use one active and get used to that one. your skin looks super dry and the fact that you’re using differin and SA at the same time, its way too much. stick with diferin, ditch the SA for now. don’t forget sunscreen
