My Fungal Acne Survival Pack
13
items I’ve had sensitive skin and acne all my life. I thought that in my 30s that I’d finally be free from it, but we’re half way in and I can’t even let a little sweat sit on my skin for too long. WTF. I’ve thought about acutane and spirolactalone???? LOL...
Anua is currently my safe place, along with Byoma (but we’re not here for B right now). Their products have been so good for my skin and my mental health because I can trust them. With my PMDD & food sensitivities being the biggest uncontrollable...
Anua BHA 2 Gentle Exfoliating Toner
Now, I’m not fully convinced this cures it, BUT I think sometimes it can help. Like with most things, if you use this in combination with the wrong products you might experience some irritation, so be careful and try your best to test things out firs...
Head & Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Tea Tree Shampoo
Clogged pores are not what we want!! This serum has really helped with clearing mine and with texture. It’s anti fungal & good for sensitive skin! I’m pretty sure with any acid there is a purging period, so don’t freak out if you get some new bre...
The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA
I loooove this stuff. It’s soothing and a fungal acne safe extra layer of moisture, and i use it whenever I need a boost. It can be helpful in tandem with the Benzy P because that could potentially be drying. But I also use it in the mornings instead...
Madagascar Centella Ampoule | Skin Care - SKIN1004
Like I said earlier, sometimes what our faces need most during this time is to be gentle and wait for it to clear up. I don’t usually like to wash my face in the mornings (in general) but especially during a fungal break, I want to keep the hard wate...
Micellar Water: Gentle Cleansing Skin Care Products - Garnier
Supergoop is kind of expensive, I KNOW. But listen, it has never ever broken me out. I’m not crazy about the texture, but desperate times, babe. I’m trying to keep my sanity, and that makes it worth the money.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
This helps me keep a clear face in general. The regular strength is best, i think, for every day use.
CLEAR Daily Skin Clearing Treatment | 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
This is for the makeup girlies. Wash those brushes. This is a good soap. A little goes such a long way. A tiny one would last a really long time.
Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Soaps
It’s popular for a reason, but I really only use it at night or for prepping my skin for makeup because it can leave too much of a dewy finish for me.
Vanicream™ Moisturizing Cream for Dry, Sensitive Skin
This is the one I’m using right now. It’s a great value and really moisturizing!! & has such good ingredients, including centella!
ANUA 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream ...
Sanitize your phone more frequently and change out your pillow case more until it clears up! Apparently there are pillow case fabrics that are better for fungal acne (mulberry silk, copper/silver infused, or bamboo), i have a bamboo set from Quince. ...
CLEAN
These are great for fungal acne! I didn’t know that when I bought them. I wanted cooling sheets for summer and they are cooling and very soft. I will say that they are more of a delicate fabric, so if you have cats, beware, and also the white sheet i...
Bamboo Sheet Set
I want to try this next, but green tea used topically is known to help with fungal acne!
