I got suckered. I saw some posts about how men don’t take care of their skin, and how it has more of an effect as we age. So I thought, what’s the harm? Let’s give it a try!

Welp, after five days of putting a tiny bit of moisturiser on my face, I have a couple of tiny pimples on my nose. I haven’t had zits in decades, and here we are. I stopped applying the moisturiser a couple of weeks ago and I’m still getting those zits.

Thanks skincare.

    Sorry to hear about that. Pimples are no fun! Each skincare product will affect each person’s skin differently, and some products are more comedrogenic than others. If your moisturizer has cocoa butter in it, you might be getting breakouts because cocoa butter is known to be rather comedrogenic, meaning that it easily clogs pores. Shea butter on the other hand has a very low comedrogenic rating so I would check the ingredients of the moisturizer that you’ve been using to see exactly what might be clogging your pores. A lot of it is about trial and error and finding the product that your skin agrees with! 🙂
