Recommendations for Face Lotion/Moisturizer

Face Routine

I have SD on the side and back of my head. Which is sort of its own problem and I may write about that later. However, I have noticed it spreading slowly to my face.

My nose has been sort of pink for a long time but I never associated it with anything. But now I’m getting the slight pinkness around my temples, eyebrows, and my cheeks around my nose. This isn’t actually THAT bad, as it is a sort of barely noticeable pinkness that looks almost normal colored most of the time. But it is slowly getting worse, and I feel it more than I see it.

Although it certainly is noticeable after going for a run or drinking any alcohol at all! (Which I have now cut way back on).

Anyway, recently I’ve noticed a kind of slight but annoying stinging sensation on my face, and on my eyes. Eyes don’t appear to look bad, but I can feel it. It’s been bothering me more and more as my face just feels “hot” throughout the day. Almost acidic (at least that’s how it feels in my head!).

I am in Canada and have been prescribed Elidel Cream for face redness, to use potentially twice a day. It’s fine, but I’ve gone on and off of really using it as it doesn’t appear to do anything (or maybe it makes things worse, idk).

There was also a stretch where I was alternating shampoos (Selsun Blue and then Head and Shoulders) and I put some on my face in the shower. Stopped doing that as I wasn’t sure if that was a great idea.

ANYWAY. I am just looking for some face cream or something that will not make it worse (and preferably helps). There’s so much out there I am unsure of what makes things worse vs better.

Thank you! 😊
