Skincare

gm to everyone who has ever added too many hydration products into their skin care routine too fast and accidentally given themselves fungal acne ✌️

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

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

thank you love 💕

Looks like my case is something completely different then
