Question:
I need help with dermalogica! Sore skin
I have been using Dermalogica products for two weeks now - after having a facial and face mapping.
I have been using:
AM
Ultra calming cleanser
Multi active toner
oil control lotion
PM
Precleanse
Ultra calming cleanser
Daily Microfoliant
Multi active toner
oil control lotion and some clearing booster on the spots.
My skin feels a bit sore and is a bit read when I wash it, not sure what is irriatating though. I don't seem to have oily skin anymore its more combination so do you think maybe the moisuriser is wrong for me and thats the reason?
she did also suggest I use cooling anti bac masque twice a week maybe that would help cool my skin but I am scared to use it in case it makes my skin worse.
If anyone can help I'd be grateful. Thanks
I think your using waaaaay too many products hun..
Stick to the ultra calming cleanser and clearing booster on spots for a week and see the difference.
If you have sensitive skin IMO you shoudlnt be using toner or oil control lotion (IMO only)...
I dunno, seems like too many things going on...you dont wanna strip too much oil or your skin will get raw and dry OR it will over produce oil and give you more spots and problems..
I'd stop using all of the products, and use something you know you don't react to until your skin calms down again. Then gradually re-introduce each product so you know what is causing the problem.
If you started using everything at once, it might have been too much for your skin.
Thanks both of you. The calming cleanser doesn't irritate usually so I think ill stick to that - need to give it a fair trial but I can cut the toner out but what about moisturiser - I think I need to use that?
Oh and dont use the daily microfant!!
