My skin has suddenly broken out lately, so I'm worried.
I am under a lot of stress lately because I have suddenly been getting constant breakouts and my skin has become sensitive. My skin wasn't usually that sensitive, but lately, there have been many days where it turns red and stings easily even with the slightest irritation. In particular, small, pimple-like bumps keep recurring around my chin and cheeks, and I have no idea what the cause is. It feels even more frustrating because this happened suddenly, even though I haven't changed any of my skincare products recently.
For now, I am reducing my skincare routine to give my skin as much rest as possible and using only soothing products. I have also temporarily stopped using exfoliants or functional products. In the past, whenever my skin worsened, I used to add all sorts of extra products to manage it, but it seemed like that actually caused more irritation.
Has anyone else experienced a sudden skin breakdown like I did? I'm wondering if it will naturally return to normal over time, or if it would be better to visit a dermatologist for treatment. Please share any tips you have for managing sensitive skin!
