Skincare help? Lumpy bumpy skin after using Clarins?

I bought new toner and moisturiser by Clarins right and since I started using it my skin has turned horrible, like kind of bumpy and it looks like all my pores are like craters. When I'm at the gym sweating, the skin on my face actually stings. Now, I have no allergies that I know of so I don't have a clue why this is happening. I use Molten Brown face wash and have done for ages and I love that. Needless to say I've stopped using the Clarins but my skin isn't going back to normal. Please help me!|||It sounds like the Clarins products were too strong for your skin. I had the same thing happen when I tried Garnier Pure A range. It takes 6 weeks for your skin to renew its self so you have to wait it out unfortunately.





I use 2 cleansers and 1 exfoliator now; one cleanser is a deep pore wash by Neutrogena which I use most of the time, the other is a mild soap-free cleanser by Simple, which I use if my skin needs a bit more care or is looking too dry. The exfoliator is from Clinique and I use it twice a day. I've found that this is the perfect balance for my skin (and I've been through practically everything out there)

It's Cuticura MEDICATED soap. I use it all the time and love it. I have trouble finding it in stores so I buy it online. The shipping (USPS standard) is really cheap, and it's only $2 for a big bar of soap. You'll get lots of answers, but trust me on this -- I'm almost positive this would work really good for you. There is just something about this soap.

Try searching for a good one on the Web or look up local ones in your copy of the Yellow Pages.
