My skin has never been worse!

I haven’t changed my diet
I haven’t work any make up at all for two weeks
I’ve been showering as usual

My face is covered in huge (HUGE) spots.

Why?!

My skin looks terrible too.... I seem to have acquired face dandruff Blush

My skin is fine - I have got a really irritating mouth ulcer though

Yes! Usually it’s better when I don’t put make on everyday, but it’s been spottier than usual, red, blotchy and dry. I was going to start a thread on it myself.

Glad it’s not just me. I’ve not changed my skin care routine or my diet, and if anything I’m eating better. I can only assume stress over the uncertainty and weirdness over the current situation, I’ve been having really vivid dream as well.

Face dandruff here as well @JovialNickname

And I keep putting moisturiser on it and then end up spotty and flaky at the same time.

It must be stress. I usually (touch wood, fingers crossed) have good skin with little effort.

My skin has been much better on my face, but I have spent a lot more time outside gardening. My hands are unrecognisable though, look very scalely and wrinkly.

Lottiebugz22 · 05/04/2020 20:03

Yes mines been rubbish. Its better when I wear makeup weirdly.

Are you drinking enough water? Taking make up off at night is always a good idea, even kim Kardashian says just use a baby wipe if it's late and you're tired.

I look like a pepperoni pizza at the moment, my skin is that bad. However, I think the copious packets of crisps, chocolate, lack of exercise and sunshine is probably the reason for that. Oh, and the wine.

Mine was awful after week one of working from home - honestly I think it’s because I stopped wearing make up, and as a result I pared back my skin routine. Now I’ve gone back to wearing a bit of make up, so I literally have to do my usual routine. It’s worked and my skin has calmed right down - almost back to normal.

My skin is starting to looking good since I have been massaging it with ghee every night

PennyNotSoWise · 05/04/2020 21:55

Do you usually wear make up daily?

Whenever I lay off foundation for a while I get a massive purge, like I'm reliving my teens again Grin

Right now, my skin is shit. Really dry for some reason, it's usually a little oily.

Inspiralcarpetry · 05/04/2020 22:02

Ooh me too! I'm covered in gross red chin and jawline spots, it's not a good look! I don't drink and have kept up my skincare so it's not that.
The only difference to pre-apocalypse is no makeup.
A bit stressed but I'm a stresshead anyway, so...!

Me too!! Wtf is it about?? I'm healthier than i have been in years now it's WFH. I see sunlight. I'm eating things like lentils. Yet keep looking in mirror in marvel at all my new zits, like Adrian Mole

Frownette · 06/04/2020 00:52

Oh it looks horrible, spotty and flaky
