Is anyones skin getting better during this time?  Last week I noticed my face clearing up, red area not as red, my face almost glowing.  I have been hardly doing any skin care at all for weeks besides cleansing and moisturizing! I have not been using my other bunch of skin products and not wearing makeup because of wearing the mask when I go out!

It sounds like you had been doing too much for the skin, and you were irritating it.  Nice that you've found that simplier works best for you!  Keep it up.

I find the same thing @FlowerBear . I really think a lot of the skin care products I use simply irritate my skin and cause redness. Even makeup can have sensitizing ingredients.

Anti-aging products only accomplish redness for my complexion. I decided to toss a lot of it because even products from companies like Clinique still use some sensitizing ingredients.

@Peaches McPhee   I think when I start using makeup again and skin products I will keep this up. But having so many I will use them up first, I hate to toss them into the trash!

@Trinity11  I think I use too many layers of skin care products!

My skin has gotten worse It is now about 10 weeks since I have had a facial

Yes. My face is looking really good.

No foundation, not cleansing more than once a day, exfoliating maybe twice a week and moisturizing most days. Even passing up sunscreen, which I never do and will be returning to as I go outdoors- our weather has not really allowed for that.

Previously I was not using many products but was wearing a light cover of foundation & concealer daily.

Of course continuing to keep hydrated. Drinking lots of water.

I'm following my usual routine ... so - no difference.  

My usual routine is really simple, exfoliate with soap/water/bath gloves, apply Dramatic Firming Cream, quick once over with Avon compact foundation and some bronzer.  Remove everything at night.

That's it - every day.  I'm in/out of my apartment several times a day.  The mask doesn't seem to interfere with my makeup.

Good morning 

Yes I have seen improvement . I have oily acne prone skin even at 56 with large pores and redness and my skin has really calmed down. I subscribed to Dr Dray's ( a young derm) YouTube channel and she always stresses to keep skin care simple and makeup too. Especially for those of us with skin issues like acne , rosacea and excema . Great we are all finding results ! Have a great weekend
