Hi folks. I'm a 26 year-old male and recently a non-smoker. Over the last 2-3 months I have become more focused on moisturizing and skincare. I've tried a moisturizer with cucumber and another product (not sure if I can mention products here) that is/was "touted" by Jessica Simpson.
Using these I've noticed red marks on my cheeks and forehead. Cessation of these products does not seem to stop the marks. I'm fair-skinned and have "strong" facial hair (and a permanent shadow) and until recently only shaved once a week. I'm hoping that quitting smoking will help remedy this redness and help even the tone of my skin, though I'm uncertain if I should cease these products or what I should be considering. I went to a dermatologist who "didn't see" what I was talking about. However several of my friends have noticed this. Perhaps this means the severity of the redness changes daily. I do flush easily, tend to sweat alot when exercising/laboring and had only mild acne as a teenager.
Not sure what else to mention. If anyone can help lead me in the right direction I'd be most grateful.
John
