Hey all, so Im new
I have a question Im hoping someone can help me with.
First, I first noticed this about 6 months ago. I started getting these small bumps under my skin on my face. Mostly on my forhead but at one point on my cheeks. I was told I may have "over exfoliated". I quit using everything I was trying.. since I did start several new items.
I go back and forth with these bumps. Sometimes worse than others.
They dont amount to anything, they are just little bumps right under the surface...almost hard.
I havent "exfoliated" in a long time since this started. jUst hoping they will fade. They do to a point, but always come back. argh!
So over the last 2 months I stopped using most moisturizers and cleansers.
I did purchase a version of a clarisonic and it seemed to be ok. I do it only a few times a week. I have also purchased Cetaphil becuase I do need a cleanser. All seemed ok, no new bumps.
Today, I noticed that it appears I have a bunch again on my forehead.
I did use the machine yesterday.
Is this what would be causing the bumps? Over exfoliating?
Im beyond frustrated.
any thoughts on how 1. to get rid of them and 2. Why I get them? LOL
Oh ..I have normal / dry skin. I do get breakouts now and again. And Im 43.
Thanks for any advice!!!
