I experienced this recently when I decided to embark on the journey with my skin. I started out with a wide range of products and that didn't seem to work. Stopped using all products and started steaming my face. Went on a week's worth of steaming and realised that I was getting more pimples than I started out with. I was steaming and using only tissue oil to moisturize my face. After a month or two that's when I started to use and substitute my products. Currently I'm only using a 3 step method to washing my face and my pimples are getting better. My problem now are the large black spots being left behind and heat rash
