I've broken out! I haven't ever had acne or problems like this before until I swapped face wipes to a cleansing routine and it's made my skin feel awful and look terrible! I need some suggestions and recommendations! Also I do wear makeup (foundation concealer etc) but that's never caused me any problems! Except it looks awful! Please help! Xx

That's a reaction to a new product. Same thing happened to me. Stop using the new product and give it away or throw it out. Use a gentle moisturiser like avene's recovery cream and don't exfoliate for a few days. It'll be puffy and will pass, will take about a week n half to 2 weeks to get clear skin again.

I don't see anything honestly... This is what a real breakout looks like Hun - you have nothing to worry about.

Okay thank you everyone! I know it may look like nothing to you's but to me, it's a big deal, being extremely self conscious, with school and everything, and kinda want it under control before it gets worse!

It not an allergy, but a sensitvity. Don't use it again. Hydocortizone cream, lightly apply to affected areas, avoid eye area, for 1 to 2 days, withh calm skin, and dry up reaction. Use gentle skincare like aveno or cetaphiil until healed. No excessive heat, sweating, swiming, or exfoliation until gone.

Juliana, you are onto something with salt water and the mineral content in it... very healing. But the sun and heat, not so good.

A solution of himalayan pink sallt, and distilled water, put in cotton rounds and used as a compress... excellent remedy... juliana reminded me of a compress treatment I do in oncology aesthetics... for clients undergoing cancer treatments.

Try a bb cream over your pimples in a dabbing motion and set with a powder conceal if needed! I say bb cream other then foundation bc bb cream can moisturize and help acne! That's how you cover it up!

As far as getting rid of it try a facial scrub that helps acne bc it makes a difference!
