I've been doing skincare (consisting of using a blemish cleanser and moisturizing with a normal to dry skin moisturizer every night before bed) for around a year on and off and I have seen more negative effects than positive effects.
Around a month ago, I went on a holiday and stopped skincare entirely. After 3 weeks, there was not a pimple in site on my face considering that I had maintained relatively the same diet, while doing the same level of exercise and sleep. Upon arrival, I restarted back up the skincare and within a week my face looked like a frikin pizza.
This had happened in the past, when I would go away for the long weekend and stop the routine for a week or so. With my face then being clear, I would start up the skincare again just for it to make the opposite effect.
While maintaining the routine, my skin will feel softer but with more breakouts; and vice versa while not maintaining it it will feel dry but with less breakouts.
I am struggling to found out what I am doing wrong, the only conclusion I have is that it could be a hormonal problem, in which I am unable to control. I only put a small amount of moisturizer on, my skin is usually semi dry. Should I start using a blemish cleanser as well?
Suggestions would be much appreciated .
