benefits of salicylic acid face wash - #27452
I am really confused about something and need some advice. A few months ago, I started dealing with these really annoying breakouts and my skin felt so oily and gross all the time. After doing some research, I found out about the benefits of salicylic acid face wash. I got one and honestly, at first, I was skeptical because my skin is sensitive. But wow, my skin has changed a lot since using it! The oiliness is kinda under control and my breakouts don’t seem as frequent or as bad. Anyway, I've been thinking of the long-term benefits of salicylic acid face wash too. Like, is there any downside? Some people say it can be drying. I’ve had a little tightness sometimes after washing but not in a super annoying way. I also noticed it helps with those small bumps I used to have on my forehead. But could I end up harming my skin with too much salicylic acid? I'm nervous about the balance, ya know? I mean, I like the way it works but I don’t want to be trading one issue for another. How often should I actually be using it, and what are the true, real long-term benefits of salicylic acid face wash? Should I stick to morning and night, or would that be too much? Any tips from you guys would be awesome!
