How healthy is my skin regime: Baking soda, apple cider vinegar, and apricot oil

Hi everyone,

I am 26 y/o female who has little acne bumps/skin rashes on my face and bumps and keratosis Pilaris on my thighs and knees. In the past, I’ve also been diagnosed with candida and sibo. I work to reduce these conditions through an anti inflammatory diet—-veggies, fermented foods, supplements, and some grains (quinoa, buckwheat, and wild rice). I used to have terrible cystic acne on my cheeks due to hormonal acne but I was able to eliminate that by not eating brown rice.

I have a ton of allergies and sensitivities so I had to start using simple products about four years ago. I take a shower like 2-3 times per week using baking soda to exfoliate. After using baking soda, I use Apple Cider Vinegar(acv) to tonify and balance the ph in my skin. Lastly, I use apricot seed oil as a moisturizer. Sometimes I’ll just use Apple cider vinegar on my whole body and I notice it feels very moisturized. In general, after the baking soda, I do notice my skin is dryer. But baking soda really helps to exfoliate and remove the little bumps of acne/rash.

So one concern I have is if my skin regime is healthy? Is using apricot seed oil enough to moisturize my skin? I’m afraid I’ll age more rapidly because my skin is dryer? Also it’s winter now but in the spring, I plan to make a simple spf sunscreen, too.

Any tips on my skin regime? Thank you!
