Tiny bumps

Hi, a newbie here. Recently I’ve noticed that my skin turns pretty oily after an hour of doing my pm routine. Also a lot of tiny bumps has been forming on my cheeks. It’s weird as I have been doing the same exact routine since November and my skin was pretty clear and didn’t turn this oily. What do you think is causing the sudden change? I’m sharing my pm routine below. Also after cleansing I like to put snail mucin right away on my damp face. Is this okay?

Your routine seems fine. Putting snail essence on damp skin is completely fine. Did the weather change since November? It might be one of the reasons you’re experiencing more oiliness. Also, there is a chance of an excess moisture - maybe you could try to stick to just cleanser and moisturizer for a few days and see how it goes without the essence and serum? Also, you could think about adding an exfoliating step 2x a week. For texture ahas would be great, so i would go for either lactic or glycolic acid 🥰

No, the weather is same. Also I’m currently waiting for my TO lactic acid 10% and TO niacinamide 10% to arrive. Thanks, I’ll try doing only cleanser and moisturiser for a few days then.

Hi! Yes, using snail mcuin on damp face is okay. Your routine actually looks great (but i hope you do have a first cleanse and a sunscreen). Im not sure what the tiny bumps could be, if theyre fungal acne then the products you use could be the cause or there are too much moisture on your skin. If they're white heads, there can be many causes. Overall, try to figure out the cause and be patient :)

Hi, no I don’t think so. It’s been two months since I started using it. Purging usually starts at the beginning right?

Better consult a dermatologist dear! The same thing happened to me over the holidays. Turns out I have atopic dermatitis. I got bumps and small pustules without even changing anything in my skincare routine. What caused mine was an allergic reaction to my holiday diet as well as lack of sleep, making my immune system go down and made me more susceptible to getting hormonal acne. Not sure if it’s the same as yours but my dermatologist gave me some meds for this and made me stay away from any product with fragrance. Hoping your situation gets better soon! I’m still recovering 😅

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you recover soon. If it turns worse I think I’ll go to a dermatologist. Thanks!

Could it be weather change or any other change to your lifestyle? Sometimes our skin just changes. I suggest getting a niacinamide serum to control that oiliness😊
