Beta, it's very possible that your skin's needs have changed, even if The Body Shop was your favourite for years. Our skin is quite dynamic; factors like hormonal changes (stress, diet, menstrual cycle, or even approaching menopause) can significantly alter how it reacts to products. What suited you before might now be too rich, too drying, or simply no longer compatible, especially if the product formulations have subtly changed too.
I would suggest taking a short break from the products you suspect. Try simplifying your routine with gentle, natural cleansers for a while, perhaps a bit of multani mitti or a light neem-based pack, or a touch of haldi mixed with curd. Observe if the breakouts reduce. If they persist even after a break and trying gentler alternatives, or if they worsen, it would be wise to consult a dermatologist. They can help identify the root cause, which could range from an ingredient sensitivity to something internal.
