Skin after shower

[TheSperminator]

After I took a nice warm shower my facial skin turns so red .. It stings a bit and I look like a fucking tomato .. It gets me so depressed sometimes .. I've rubbed lotion everyday for a period of time but when I stopped one day rubbing the lotion my skin would dry out even quicker .. I just don't see any results of a better facial skin. That's so important facial skin, a clean face tells so much about a person..

How I would like my facial skin to be:

My body is great, when I workout for let's say half a year you can really see I'm muscular .. Not ripped but wide chest, wide shoulders, wide back, strong core, the bull neck .. It's just my fucking face that irritates the sh*t out of me .. I don't know what to do with my facial skin .. You hear everywhere: use a scrub, use a cleanser, use lotion (the right type of lotion or else!!!) ... All that sh*t, who the fuck does all those things? Dipping and not rubbing while using a bath towel, showering with cold water ..

I tried basically everything, but nothing changes ..

My hair is tin as fuck also ..

Some guys really get up in the morning and are like "YES CMON LETS DO THIS!!" .. For me everyday is almost a struggle .. I just don't like to live I guess .. (to clarify: I'm not being suicidal here) I tell you this because all those "yes, another day!"-guys are mostly the ones with strong hair, strong skin and all ..

Maybe you're over thinking this. Though, my face isn't as perfect, as I would like.

I just don't understand how those male models keep their skin so healthy .. Getting muscle is just that, you workout, eat healthy and sleep well .. But the skin, I can't figure it out ..

Maybe you have eczema and the shower brings it out.

yeh, Poractive (which I'm looking into). Or..Photoshop, hahah—too common on these celebraties. I've just ordered this Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System

Isn't eczema very thick? And small red dots? .. I don't think I have this .. My skin isn't that ugly, it just has a red flush all the time, when I'm tired I'm like a tomato sometimes .. And I played sports for more than 10 years, and always lifted weights ..

That just happens. Not much you can do about it.

I have eczema on my love handles which flares up from a hot shower.

I googled some pics and I can definetly say I don't have eczema. It's just some reddish skin, but sometimes when I'm tired/didn't eat well/feel like sh*t I look like a tomato.

Sounds very similar to something I experience- my mother's side of the family all experience it too. Though it happens to our feet, especially when taking a warm shower on a cold day. My feet will turn bright red and burn and itch like crazy and almost feel swollen. I'm not sure what is really called, but my family has always called it "chill veins". Anyways, I know it's a bit different but sounds very similar!

Rosacia?

Take a warm/cool shower and see if you get red still.

Rosacia?

It's probably a bit of rosacea yes but I find it strange that no one has a golden skin routine or something

 

[islander]

Sounds like Rosacia to me. There is a prescribed cream you can use (I will pm it to you tomorrow) and it kills the bacteria that is on your skin causing this. Your skin will be completely cleared up in less than a week and look beautiful. At least mine did hahaha

The worst thing for people with redness in the face or rosacia are using scrubs or loofah's. Any dermo will tell you to use Cedaphil its the best cleanser and lotion. The point is NOT to use harsh stuff on your face. Mild very mild.

PS Like One Liner Steve said no HOT water. Luke warm
