TEXTURE & UNEVEN TONE

[Anonymous]

I have combination, acne-prone skin and lately my skin has been extremely sensitive! I've been getting a lot of texture (particularly around my nose and upper cheeks) and I haven't figure out how to get rid of it. I've head exfoliation is key but if I exfoliate too often I get even more texture so I'm not sure what to do!

Should I be using a retinol? Is there a certain exfoliator/scrub I should be using?

P.S. I also have chronic blackheads on my nose so I need a way to get rid of that nose texture without aggravating the blackheads!

Have you considered using a cleansing oil? Since you mentioned blackheads, I am thinking that your skin is getting congested. Cleansing oils are effective at removing makeup, sunscreen, waterproof products, and loosen blackheads too. I cannot guarantee that your nose will be completely blackhead free, but my skin feels and appears much cleaner. Also, do you need the sleeping mask? I also have acne-prone, sensitive skin and a sleeping mask definitely cause congestion for me. Unless you have dry skin, I don't think that you need the moisturizer and the sleeping mask. 

Hope you identify the issue soon. Good luck!

Is the texture skin color or red? Have you been diagnosed with rosacea?

It's skin colored! Sometimes it looks like little white dots under the skin
