so sorry to hear this erica!!! 🫂🫂 hopefully you will get your clear skin back asap

lmao yeah the castor oil + squalane is what really kicked this off i think 

+ switching my cleansers to something that ended up being too harsh which led me to compensate with more hydration...

oops 😇

No castor oil in this case :( sorry to hear that

oh sick thank you!! the last fungal safe moisturizer i got irritated my skin from the fragrances so this is perfect timing 🙏 🙏

i’ve heard good things about sezia.co for checking if a product will trigger fungal acne!

oh noooo not you too!! if they're itchy small bumps and in clusters that might be your case )):

Idk if I have fungal acne but I have been going THRUUU it with my skin. Am adding a bunch of hydration products and retinol and castor oil and it’s all so much

thank you love 💕

Looks like my case is something completely different then

i'm no expert - the main symptom of fungal acne compared to normal acne is that it itches, that was the main way i was able to tell what was going on!

i think it was the following that made a good environment for the fungal acne to grow:
> switched from cleansing 1x per day with cetaphil to 2x per day with cerave (i think i damaged my moisture barrier here)
> added in a double cleanse at night with castor oil + squalane (both known to feed yeast)
> added in a moisturizing rice toner (once again known to feed yeast)
> added in snail mucin (again, known to feed yeast)

this was all over ~3 months

Gm erica,,I’m sorry to hear about what you went through

Would you mind sharing what you did?

I also used a moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid, and a few spots on my face got irritated

Before that, I was only using a tea tree oil foam cleanser and an aloevera hydrator

This new product is what I’ve just started using

oh no haha i hope you were able to get rid of it!! i'm still working on mine 🫠

Yeah 😅

Thank God we men either use just one product — or none at all. Simplicity never betrayed us. 😎🧴

Hablo de trabajo remoto, crypto y otras vainas ahí.
