Sephora

@lala651 I don't think there is any product that can reduce the oil your skin produces, which is due to your own body chemistry and hormones.I have read that sometimes skin over-produces oil because it's too dry, so, believe it or not, a mild moisturizer might help. I notice this with my own skin (my forehead specifically,) and I'm way past the age of having regular acne.Along with a moisturizer, you might also like to use a toner to make sure you are cleansing your skin well.Here are a few suggestions out of the many available here on Sephora:Tatcha Oil-Free Pore Perfecting Duo innisfree Balancing Toner with Green Tea

@leevals30 I really think you need to see your dermatologist and possibly your regular doctor. You may actually have two separate conditions that occur at the same time.This is not a diagnosis, but what you have on your face looks like what one of my kids gets on the arms- keratosis pilaris. I don't know if that's it, but it's probably worth mentioning to your doctors. I've attached an article in a spoiler to see if it might be similar to what you are experiencing. The pictures don't match your skin exactly, nor do they my kid's skin, so good to ask the doctors about it.Your skin does look very inflamed. I would use the bare minimum of products on it while waiting for an appointment. Cerave is a good brand to use for sensitive skin; they have a whole line of products that are easily available. Our dermatologist recommended them to us.Spoiler

@blackkitty2014 To me, that's the perfect excuse to try smelling the whole line 🙂

@SportyGirly125 I bought the pumpkin bagels last week, and they're just sitting here. They smelled funny to me, like the spices were different. But, every store has different suppliers, so maybe it's just ours.If you have an Aldi near you, (I know it's Trader Joe's less cool cousin,) their maple french toast bagels are to die for. I do find a lot of good things there. They have been upping the number of organic items, and their produce is at least as fresh as TJ's. And their ice cream is really, really, good and cheap.

@Sunnysmom Been happening in perfume now for awhile and I've given up on the idea that there's a ceiling. I think a part of it is how concentrated wealth is becoming. I'm not just talking about the top 1% for whom a $600 perfume would be like, oh I found some loose change in my car seat. I mean, there's $10,000 fragrance products being made for them. I'm talking about the concentration of wealth into the upper middle class, which has also really expanded. As long as this hollowing out of the middle-middle class continues, my guess is these luxury brands are going to keep pushing the envelope as far as the market can bear. It doesn't matter if wages are stagnating for the vast majority because the upper-middle class is growing their net worth not from labour and wages, but financial vehicles like investments and home ownership. What kind of annoys me about it though is that honestly, you hit a point of diminishing returns at around the $250-300 mark for perfumes today although this would have been lower in the past because the prices keep marching up. What's also annoying is seeing what would pass as mediocre, derivative and blandly commercial before is now being sold at the $200+ price point. OK, I'll get off my tangential soap box now 😛

@lmaster , beautiful as usual

thanks for the reply!! I’ve been only using the prescribed and then cereve night cream on the My derm also prescribed me doxycycline oral antibiotics but I don’t really want to take an antibiotic 2x a day. I tried it before and it didn’t help. I just don’t know if I have rosacea or if it’s something else. The redness makes me think and my doctors rosacea but all of these tiny bumps makes me think fungal. What do you have going on?

@Angeline090401 For small bumps, you might want to try The INKEY List Lactic Acid Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL or The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner 3.4 oz/ 100 mL . Both are chemical exfoliators that can help with resurfacing. they can definitely be drying so be sure to test patch and you might want to alternate days when using the BHA

According to beautydealsbff, the Fall Haul Event starts this Friday, the 24th.

@Zankhanapatel I tried to match you with Sephora's foundation finder, but there was no match. Then I went to Temptalia's site and used her Foundation Matrix. The two matches there are:NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundationin Syracuse or Tahoe.Here's the descriptions of the two shades:
