Skincare Woes, Is It Me or My Surroundings?

Hello Readers!

Long time, no blog! I've recently moved to an entirely new area and into a new job, which has really slowed down my blogging. Well, I now have my routine down, and I'm back to talk about makeup.

So recently, I've moved from a humid, warm climate to a much less humid, but still warm climate. I never realized that a three and a half hour move from my hometown would give me so many skin issues! In my hometown, I had my skin routine down to an exact science and my complexion was nearly perfect (with only an occasional blemish). Now I'm breaking out with painful papules (more information on acne), and it's been a mess to figure out what went wrong with my skincare routine.

Now, if you're new to skincare and want some amazing resources I'm a big fan of the Asian Beauty subreddit! The resource links on the side bar have amazing information!

Part of me is wondering if it has anything to do with my reintroduction of the Clarisonic back into my skincare routine. Though many claim it's gentle enough for daily use, I just can't bring myself to believe it. Partially, I feel that's due to my sensitive skin. However, as gentle as some of the brush head attachments are, it still has some exfoliation qualities and over-exfoliating the skin can always lead to trouble.

So, here's hoping to figuring out my skin care issues in this new environment and adapting! I plan on doing a large post in the future of my favorite skincare products.

That's all for now!
