I'm curious about your skin care routines for the changing seasons when you break down from extreme stress lol

Lately, I’ve been under extreme stress due to a combination of things to worry about and personal upsetting events piling up. Sure enough, my face was the first thing to break down. On top of that, the weather has been erratic with severe temperature fluctuations, so it feels like my skin barrier has completely crumbled. I usually overhaul my entire skincare vanity around this time of year, but this time it’s particularly bad, so I’m urgently writing this post to get some tips on your detailed routines for managing skin condition during the changing seasons.

My face stings and turns red just from washing with the mild, pH-balanced foam cleanser I usually use without any issues. In this case, would it be better to switch to a cleansing milk or water with a much softer texture? I'm so incredibly curious to know how everyone sets up their personal transitional skincare routines, from the cleansing step to the final step of their skincare routine, around the time the spring breeze starts blowing.

First off, I’ve removed my usual skin toner pads because I’m worried about friction irritation, and now I just apply a really thick layer of a barrier cream packed with ceramides and panthenol before going to sleep. However, since I’m applying only these rich, nourishing products every day, painful, cystic acne on my chin is threatening to flare up again ㅠㅠ It’s a total disaster, so I feel like I want to just follow the seasonal skin care routine that people with good skin have said worked really well for them, word for word.

To all you typical dehydrated-oily skin types out there!! My skin feels like it’s going to crack from the inside, but the outside is an oil explosion causing breakouts!! Please, please save me ㅠㅠ I guess it’s best not to touch exfoliation at all for the time being, right? If the experts could share in the comments the absolutely foolproof skin care routines for the changing seasons that you stick to steadfastly, I’m going to raid Olive Young right after work lol
