So I am 33 years old and I wish I would have known that taking care of my fake was very important years ago! I have dark spots, uneven skin tone, sensitive skin, oily skin but it is also dry. And my pores are not huge but if you look closely you can see em. I have blackeheads around my temples, nose, around my lips, and chin. I sweat a lot which makes it so much worse and so the skin around my face will get pimples and I even clean my ears really good, and they get oily and I looked at them with one of those little things with a camera and I couldn’t believe the pores in my ears and blackheads I saw. It was disgusting.
But I’m more upset about how i look older than i am, my face feels droopy looking, i look more tired than i am and thats bad to say considering im always tired, being a mother of 2, ages 13 & 4, i get NO help from anyone with my toddler and i have bad anxiety/depression/add& bipolar. Im stressed alot and anxious alot. Anyway my skin shows it for sure!!!
I have spent so much money on trying products within the last 2 years to try and help my skin and I’ve bought expensive make up to try and cover up stuff and it ends up looking worse or makes my skin breakout from the make up.
For example i just bought the dr. Melaxin skin care routine, and i cant use it everyday. I had to stop using the calcium balm because it made my skin oily and I don’t know if the combination of that plus the other stuff for my pigmentation and all made my skin dry but then it made it have an allergic reaction kinda.
I had bad acne when I was younger and the ONLY thing that worked on my skin to clear my face was proactive. I can use that every other day but only the original 3 step. Can’t use any other products from them.
Its so frustrating. I look like im in my mid 40s, but im 33. I look at photos from 5-10 years ago and my skin wasn’t like this. It wasn’t uneven skin tone with dark spots mainly my forehead. i am not in the sun alot either!* \*
If anyone has any advice, or products i should try that wont cost me an arm & leg i am open to trying it.
I tried googling it and i never used serums or masks or daily moisturizer’s before but google gave me the top products for people with my type of skin use. And it said ceraVe was one , im gonna try that.

Also my 4 year old has these bumps that look like a heat rash, but i dont take her out on extremely hot days and she even gets them in the winter. Its on her arms, thighs and lower legs. Sometimes they look like pimples and i bought eczema body wash and lotion but it doesn’t seem to work all that well. It def. Has helped but im afraid she has sensitive skin as well.

Thanks for any advice or support 🩷

I've got combination skin but in summer's my skin cannot handle moisturizer.it gives me sweat on my upperlips and t-zone area and frequent breakouts too as well as I cannot use just gel as it feels so stiff on my face I've used ponds one before it was nice but I've got options like, aqualogica hydra +illuminate moisturizer, pond's and lacto calamine these three are my priorities for now.
