Hi All,
After a lifetime of OSPT in spades, my skin has dramatically changed this winter, and I am now have the symptoms of a DSPT! I purchased the book 2 years ago, and my skin dramatically improved, but I noticed red and white bumps all over my face, and a rashy, sore redness over the last few weeks.
My scores last summer were O-38, S-48, P-31, T-40; yesterday (New England February): D-24; S- 51, P-36, T-40.
My most recent regimen was Renova 3 times per week, Duac on forehead and nose nightly, Olay daily facials Normal to Oily at night; Cetaphil in the morningwith a gentle washcloth. I usually wear sunscreen: Rachel Perry SPF 15 in Winter.
I have eliminated everything, and am using cetaphil to take off make up with a cotton ball, and a L'Occitane very gentle cleansing bar on the forehead and nose only...I am better, but still bumpy and irritated.
My question is: Does anyone else have severe swings in type like this seasonally, or have I been mistreating my skin and possibly stimulating all of that oil? Sorry to be so longwinded, but I am a little desperate. I would love to know some very gentle routines.
Thanks SO much!
