Help - Postnatal Skin :(

My skin was bad before I was pregnant but 13 weeks after my dd was born it is really bad. My skin has just exploded especially around the cheeks and chin, red horrible big spots. Is it all hormonal or do I need to change my beauty routine. Currently using Dermalogica. I am not sure if its rosacea, can asian people get rosacea?

I have had rosacea since having DS2 (nearly two years ago :(), I'm sure it's hormonal. I've been on ABs since September and it's helped a lot (not sure if you can take them while breastfeeding, if that's relevant). On them for another couple of months then hopefully will be able to downgrade to topical cream.

I tried Dermalogica and found it way too harsh. Currently using Avene Gentle Cleansing Gel which is much better.

Which dermalogica do you use? My skin is also shit post bith. It's due to the lack of estrogen in your body whilst you bf.
