I think your skin is reacting with one of the products you're using. Try by process of elimination (I know, might take some time) but it will help you in long term.

Your skin is probably purging the impurities. Give it a couple more weeks to clear. If it doesn't, you probably need to change something.

I agree with Lindsay, whenever I start a new skincare regiment, or if I change a step, I usually have minor breakouts for a week or two, and then my skin clears up. My dermatologist says that whenever you alter your skincare routine, do the SAME thing every day for two weeks, if your skin does not start clearing up by the second week, then you should change the product you're using. Usually the breakouts are caused by built up bacteria that is layers under the skin, a new skincare item will bring the impurities to the top and purge the skin. It is good! You want that to happen because it will prevent breakouts later. Also, you really should not sleep in your makeup, it will clog your pore and cause awful breakouts in the future. Always remove your makeup and wash your face before bed, also moisturize before bed, in the morning, or both; whatever suits your skin type best. I hope this helps! I'm obsessed with skincare and I really hope you find a routine that suits you.

Emily R thanks for putting so much time into that answer! Youve all helped. I was freakin out but it sounds like I should probably just give it a week or two. I posted this 2 days ago and my skins already calming down. I think youre all right, my skin probably had so much crap built up in it and now its getting rid of it all!

You're welcome! I've done a lot of trial and error with skincare, and between what my dermatologist has told me and my experience, I know the basics of what works for most people. I'm glad I could help!
