[Routine Help] Skin is still flaky/oily, what am I doing/using wrong?
I hope I'm posting this right, if not I apologize.
In the morning I'll wash with CeraVe foaming/dry/normal skin (Foaming if I'm in the shower, dry skin if I don't shower that morning). I'll swipe a Stridex pad (from the red box) over my face and give as much time as I can for that to dry. Then I'll dab some Clean and Clear acne spot treatment on any spots, then rub in CeraVe lotion in the pump.
If I put on makeup after that, it won't take long for weird skin flakes to show up. It almost looks like a lizard to me mostly between my eyebrows and around my nose. My little blonde face hairs that everyone has also show up like crazy. My nose and often forehead will show a bunch of oil spots, and my nose pores look gigantic with little rings of makeup around them.
My night is mostly similar to the morning routine, though I shower more often at night than in the morning so I use the oily skin CeraVe more at night. I'll also use a charcoal black sugar mask maybe once or twice a week to attempt to get the 'lizard face' off. When I get out I dry off then swipe a Stridex pad, wait a bit, then spot treatment/CeraVe lotion.
Should I be using different products? I don't really have access to buying a bunch of online products which is why I use the Stridex/CeraVe combo. Should I get something stronger, weaker, completely different?
