Okay, I'm FREAKING out. I RARELY get zits, like once a month ill get one on my chin during my period and thats it. Recently I decided to take better care of my skin, before I would sleep with makeup on almost every night and only wash my face everyother day and now that I've actually started to take care of it, I'm breaking out like no ones business!! Help, I'm confused:/

I use the same face wash that I used to, I changed to cetaphil moisturizer, I began using a face brush every other day, I began using witch hazel for a toner, and I now use eye cream. am breaking out on the outer si.

It could possibly be now that your washing it and taking better care impurities are bringing brought to the surface.

Same thing happened to me recently but for a couple days I just washed my face with soap and cool water thinking I had a reaction to the face wash. It will take a couple days before getting used to it.

Your skin is just pushing out the dirt settling inside that wasn't bought to the surface. Think detoxing, but for your skin now that you're taking care of it. It will go away eventually once you find the right skincare routine.

I don't know girls like the black heads I get it but if she's breaking out all over what if she is allergic to one of the products? Lauren maybe try looking up the products you are using to see if other people got that kind of reactions and if you can change brands (to ones with different ingredients) just to check if it's the routine itself or the specific products.

I have good low maintenance skin but recently I decided like you, to go all high maintenance on it and I broke out too. I think it's because you don't need to clean it too much coz you strip away all the oil etc.and your skin works overtime to compensate. use gentle products only, and only when you need them.

Juliana hit it on the head (pun intended, Bwahaha)! you are stripping all your natural oils out (what protects your skin) still wash it everyday but use only brushes , scrubbers and exfoliaters once a week. Be sure to put back in plenty of moisture too. Your pores work.double time to produce oil if it is stripped of it. Neutrogena has a gentle foaming daily wash that I love ( I get the Walmart brand for 4$) try that as your daily wash and keep using witch hazel, it's a miracle  :)

Witch hazel made me break out horrible so maybe it's the reason...

No it's because your skin is purging and after like a week it will be all clear. it's finally getting the makeup amd dirt out of your skin..keep washing your face and stuff and after about a week if your are still getting NEW pimples, it might be the witch hazel because that broke me out, but works wonders for other people!

Because you're washing your face for often your face could be purging which means your skin cells are turning over faster and the zits under your skin are coming up. If this is the case, keep to your skin care routine for at least a month and it should go away.

Your skin is going to purge itself it takes atleast a month for your skin to become use to any product an don't over do either cleanse twice a day deep clean at night you don't need a deep cleansing in the morn make sure your using a moisterizer an spf n the day time an that your not alergic to anything n your skin care line if its iching burning or leaves you red its not for you.

If you never really took good care of your skin, it's going to get worse before it gets better. Don't worry about it. When I started a new cleanser, I had breakouts like no other, now my face is very clear. Just keep doing what you're doing.

It's just your skin reacting to the change it'll clear up soon.

Try your routine without the witch hazel, it burnt my skin and made me break out really badly. Try using a toner with no alcohol.
