"Hello! A quick question regarding skin care. I always have quite a lot of pimples, at the same time as I am often "flaky" dry in many places on my face. And if I use products for dry skin I get pimples, if I use for oily skin I get completely dehydrated. Snäääälla give me tips on good, preferably cheap, products, I feel completely lost… ”
Hey! My answer was so far so I take it in a post instead, think there are more who have the same problem as you!
The very best thing is to go to a skin care salon and do a skin analysis, if you really want to be sure of what kind of products you need.
But it sounds a bit like you are dry, because an unbalanced dry skin can also get pimples. How long did you test dry skin products before giving up? It often takes 1-2 months for the skin to get used to new skin care, namely, and then you can get pimples for just that reason! There are many who do not think about this, and give up the products before they get to see the result.
If you are unsure, it is at least better with products for dry skin even though you are oily, than the other way around.
It may also be that you have a mixed skin, which is simply dry in some places and oily in others. So am I! I usually mix some products (but from the same brand) and feel for myself which ones work. A mild cleanser and toner for sensitive skin, and then creams for oily skin is what works best for me!
This is what my skin looks like now, was photographed today immediately when I woke up, before cleansing and all that.
What I have noticed is that I at least prefer natural products. Then you can test yourself without it being a huge mistake, with acids and such ingredients, it is super important that you get it right for your skin.
I use the Sanctum brand which is natural and organic, and will write more about my new skin care when I have fully tested it. But Yves Rocher and Lumene are also brands that use without natural ingredients in their products, and they are also very affordable!
Hope my answer was helpful :)
