What is the best way to care for redness and sebum around the nose?
I am wondering what kind of care I should do when the skin looks red and oily in the area where the side of my nose meets my cheek.
I am worried that if I keep removing excess sebum because I think I have too much, my skin might get irritated, but conversely, if I don't do any care because my skin is red, my pores seem to get clogged. I would also like to know if sebum and redness are related issues.
It seems difficult to determine from the surface whether the redness is due to simple friction, a weakened skin barrier, or another skin issue. In such cases, I am wondering if it is better to stabilize the redness first rather than managing sebum.
If I receive an acne skin care consultation, can I check not only the condition of my pores and sebum but also the cause of the redness?
If my skin is sensitive, I would like to know if I can start with other treatments instead of proceeding immediately with extractions or peeling. I want to care for the necessary areas without excessively drying or irritating my skin. Rather than focusing on which specific procedure I should receive, I would like to know the appropriate order of care for my current skin condition first.
