Overwashed/ overexfoliated skin (I need advice)
So on Friday, my new Vanity Planet spin brush has arrived. I got so obsessed with it, that I ended up washing my face too much. And I mostly used the harder brush just because I wanted my skin to look squeaky clean. As a result I over-exfoliated my skin and got it taut and dry. It is not sensitive at all, not red, just very very taut at the point it is uncomfortable moving my face.
What is weird is that my skin has visibly improved. It is visibly smoother, pimples have settled down, and hyperpigmentation and scarring have drastically reduced (but some spots are still there of course). My skin looks brighter and I love that. But also I hate the feel of it especially with product on.
I noticed that something is wrong this morning when I applied my Clinique BB sunscreen on. My face looked dry and cakey if you were close to it and some color from the BB Cream has patched ob places wher I had wounds and dry skin. From far it looked okay though. Until after school when I came back home, my T zone was swimming in oil and the rest of my face was dry as hell. My skin generally felt tired. So I had to wash again (second time today). I applied a collagen serum, spf30 sunscreen without tint just in case I’d go outside for some reason and some vitamin C cream on wounds so that they can heal faster. I’ll insert below pics on how my skin looks now.


As you can see, there is some acne, but mostly hyperpigmentation and wounds. I doesn’t look dry but it feels dry.
What should I do for that? Can it be fixed overnight?
