Recently, I've had these persistent acne spots on my face. Should I try the natural masks I've made, or should I invest in dermocosmetic products? My goal is not to mess up my face even more... What would you recommend?
I also tried to solve it with natural masks like you, but it seriously backfired on me. The clay mask made my face even drier and irritated it. I had purchased a cleanser containing salicylic acid from a dermocosmetic range, and that really helped. I think you should also consider getting advice from a dermatologist.
To be frank, if you're constantly using natural masks, you might be stressing your skin. Overdoing it can compromise your skin's barrier. I think you should try giving your face a break for a while by minimizing contact with products. Maybe your actions have contributed to its current state.
Persistent acne for an extended period can sometimes indicate a hormonal issue. So, it's not enough to just soothe the skin from the outside. Whether it's natural or dermocosmetic, you should first check from the inside. I would advise against taking aggressive steps without seeing a dermatologist.
Let me update you: I've been consuming quite a lot of milk and dairy products in the last few months, and I wondered if that might be a reason. Also, I was doing the masks twice a week, but since my skin is oily, could that have been too much?
Actually, pimples are generally not caused by a single factor. Hormones, diet, the products you use... they all come together to create this. However, there is no clear winner in the natural/dermocosmetic dilemma. Trying both in balance might be more reasonable. Now, I think you should consume less dairy and see which one is effective.
