I have been on rogaine since may this year till now - 6 months as of today estimated
i noticed in the last two months i developed dark eye circles
these two weeks my cheeks have been sagging
i am now wondering what is the cause of my sagging cheeks and dark eye circles.
i am a victim of a botched nose job in last year august 2012. the botched nose job have left my cheeks slightly puffed or bloated i think it is skin stretching and pulling.
the time i started rogaine in may i came to terms with my botched nose job and fell into a huge depression i was still in denial and shock for the first few months i have been feeling very sad, stressed, tired, and i have not been sleeping regularly. i have been sleeping at a very late timing at night. i also have been moving around a lot in the day to settle things and sleeping late at night. i used to work night shift in the past but nowhere have i age like this
at the same time i used rogaine . i also happened to use a liz earle moisturiser which damaged my skin beyond repair. i cannot use my anti aging moisturiser and other creams as whatever i use have left my skin feeling red, dry, irritated, itchy and painful.. sometimes even if i don't use anything my skin feels the same too. all i am using is a sunblock ( no choice) and a cleanser and some vegetable butters.
i am 25 i look my age but people said i have the youthful look of a 17 yo girl despite my age or i look few years younger. some people have asked if i was still studying but recently i met with an acquaintance who said i have matured as my cheekbones looked defined. ( looks like my skin is sagging)
i came up with some reasons for the dark eye circles and skin sagging.
1) rogaine ( not scientifically proven but people have commented on its unwanted side effects )
2) late night sleep, sad, stressed and tired from running around ( stress being sad and tired wrecks havoc on skin )
3) irritated skin and unable to use anti aging products ( there is a study that inflamed and irritated skin can lead to collagen breakdown - skin sagging and dark eye wrinkles )
what i would love to know which are the above reasons for my skin sagging and dark eye circles. i would love to hear that rogaine is not one of the causes however..
