These are SEBACEOUS FILAMENTS completely natural. Gentle daily exfoliation with a wash cloth and a salicylic serum. Signed an esthetician whose chin also looks like this.

This is actually caused by over exfoliation.. You have a weak skin barrier… trust me… I’ve been there , done that.

This comment section is the exact reason why I have a dermatologist everyone has their own opinion with very different texture and facial needs

My facial skin looks exactly like that from demodex overgrowth🥲 it might be something worth researching and asking your dermatologist about if symptoms line up

Over Exfoliating leads to a reactive moisture barrier. Making bumps like this looked like clogged pores but it’s actually your skin trying to heal itself with its natural oils. Use a physical scrub max 3 times a week, make sure to drink plenty of water and use barrier repair products.

i’m in esthetician school and those are sebaceous filaments, your barrier is compromised by over exfoliating you need a good skin care routine to repair it 😅. gentle cleanser, toner, exfoliation once a week, MOISTURIZER and spf

Yall gonna look at me crazy but diaper rash cream with zinc helps a lot! It’s the cheaper alternative to brands that jack up prices for more zinc to bring back your skin barrier.

You need to be double cleansing that will help get rid of the sebum in your pores and reduce them, get a cleansing oil/balm the follow up with regular face wash

Shani :
18 year esthetician here. Your barrier is compromised and your overproducing oil because you exfoliate everyday. You want to balance the oil in your skin not completely remove it. The more you remove the oil the more it’ll come. 2-3x at night only. Your skin will begin to balance the oil production within a few weeks. Also, you’re tearing up your skin barrier which ages much faster and becomes more susceptible to blemishes/irritation.

I never exfoliate with an actual exfoliating product or device. However, I wash my face with a cheap, rough washcloth EVERY day.
