Ok. So I never used to wash my face. Ever. I know gross. But my face always just looked dull and I had all these black heads with an occasional pimple here and there. I wanted to start taking care of my skin and I got super into skin care. I started washing my face day and night with philosophy's purity and since I started washing my face I've started breaking out. I got a clarisonic and let's just say I've been in that "purging stage" for a few months now with no improvements. All I have now is tiny bumps everywhere, dry patches, zits, and acne scarring. I used to be totally okay going out with no foundation now I can't leave the house without a full coverage face. I've also been using josie maran argan oil day and night with her argan milk. I'm thinking I'm just doing too much to my skin or something. I'm starting to use the clarisonic every other day now and looking in to getting an even more sensitive brush head for it. Any suggestions to shrink pores, clear acne, help dry skin, and help scarring?

Hmm did this happen right when you started using your cleanser? maybe you're allergic to it. I've also heard the clarisonic makes some people break out. maybe it's too harsh on your skin which is causing the acne scarring. have you tried any homemade face masks?

I personally love simple skincare.it's amazing and very gentle on the skin and won't leave it dry or too oily

Thank you Stephanie! I'm thinking of getting the delicate cashmere brush hopefully that helps. And Shauna it just started happening when I just started washing my face. I might look into a new cleanser I just heard so many good reviews about the purity cleanser. I'm thinking about trying out origin facial products. And I actually did my first homemade mask tonight! I used honey, nutmeg, lemon, and cinnamon for a mask that is supposed to help scarring. If you know of others please let me know! :)

What's simple skin care?

Simple is a brand.
I'd look into new cleansers, if it continues happening after a few switches, then I'd go to a dermatologist and see what's up.

Also, don't use cinnamon and nutmeg on your skin to often, it's super irritating to the skin and can cause it to get worse. Same with lemon, make sure if you go into the sun for the next few days, wear lots of SPF. Lemon makes your skin very sensitive to sun exposure.

I would recommend oil cleansing. My skin has never been better, my acne and black heads are very minimal.

Erica what do you mean by oil cleansing? Because I do clean my face with josie maran argan oil with radiance. Maybe I should switch to her original argan oil
