Sorry this will be quite long. I've been under quite a lot of stress lately and my skin is suffering. Although I've had psoriasis from child hood I've only had it on my face for the past few years. To add to the psoriasis for the past couple of years I've had hormonal break outs on my chin and nose and now on my cheeks which I think is from using protopic to control the psoriasis which is probably clogging my pores up.
So far I've been using Nivea sensitive miscellear water for first cleanse to remove make up then Living Nature purifying cleanser for second cleanse followed by Avene face mist and La Roche Posay Tolerian fluid day and night creams which worked for nearly two years but for the past few weeks my skin has been getting more and more congested and feels oily over my cheeks and nose with spots building up under the surface on my cheeks and massive cysts on my chin.
I received a charcoal sponge in this month's birchbox which I've used on my face which seemed to calm my chin down but is a bit harsh on my cheeks (I have no realised it's supposed to be for use on the body not your face
) I'm not wondering if a charcoal based cleanser would work if it was more gentle. I'm basically clueless when it comes to face care and tend to buy lots of products until something works but I'm hoping you lovely ladies can help point me in the right direction so I don't literally keep washing money down the drain.
TIA and sorry for the essay like post
