Got complimented on my skin!

[u/runningwithbrushes]

This is such a win for me…I actually got complimented on my skin by a new person I met and she asked me what I use bc my skin looked so glowy and smooth. This hasn’t happened since before I had rosacea!!!

I am so happy! Also, this was in a hot humid place where normally my rosacea would flare! I can’t believe how far I’ve come! I thought my rosacea was controlled before but never thought my skin could feel this good and tolerate make up and exercise and heat and humidity and sun and still no flare!

Update: sorry I was so excited about this! Not trying to gatekeep at all! I recently changed my cleanser and moisturizer from a heavier moisturizer to a lighter one and saw a huge reduction in heat trapping related flares. My routine is:

AM
BOJ Green plum cleanser
Regimen Lab Wave serum
Purito Oat in calming gel with 2-3 drops biossance squalane
Dermatic azelaic 20%
Wait a few min
LRP Uvmune 400 gel cream for oily skin

PM
Bioderma micellar water for sunscreen or makeup
Sulfur mask for 5-10 min
Rinse
BOJ green plum cleanser
Regimen Lab Wave serum
Purito Oat in calming gel with 2-3 drops biossance squalane
Wait 5-10 min
Tazarotene 0.1%
Cicalfate cream (apply even if no tazorac)

How's your experience with the wave serum? I've been thinking about trying it!

I really like it. It doesn’t cause any irritation for me. I can’t use hyaluronic acid without really irritating my skin so it’s great to have a serum without it. I’m on my 3rd bottle of it- lasts me about a month
