need some help with my skin

i have never had skin issues (yes i know i am lucky). but now my forehead is breaking out like crazy. i don't know what happened. it could be hormonal. i have not really changed my eating habits, hair or skin products, laundry detergent anything. i just don't know what is happening. does anyone have suggestions of what i can use?

the only thing i did try was the oil cleansing method with jojoba oil. the breakout had already started and i did it 2 times. i have not used it in over a week and the breakouts are not getting any better or worse.

i feel like a teenager and i do not like it. i feel like everyone is staring at me because they are not used to seeing my skin like this.

i am willing to try anything.

thanks.

Re: need some help with my skin

  • It could just be a change in your body chemistry (hormones included), which can change periodically just like metabolic rate and allergies.
    Twice isn't enough to find out if OCM will work or not.  I've heard a lot of people use coconut oil, but i find 20-25% castor oil + evoo works really well for me.  Mix together, massage into skin, soak with very warm, wet washcloth (repeat a few times, as necessary to remove all oil), rinse and dry.  In the morning do the same thing, but using water only.
    Be sure you are using clean cloths/towels, and touching your face with only clean hands.
