I feel like a teenager agian!!!
And not in a good/fun way! My face has serously been breaking out BAD since we got back from the wedding (thankfully it waited until after that). Do you ladies have any tips to help get it to go away??
Re: I feel like a teenager agian!!!
I am right there with you! I was just told by my niece (and did a little googling of it) that apple cider vinegar mixed with water as an astringent can help. She said 1 part acv with 3 parts water. I mixed it last night for the first time and did it before I went to bed. One suggestion I found online was to do it once a day to get used to it, and also at night mainly because of the smell. I also read that at first you might want to rinse your face after 15 min or so at first to not get a bad reaction. Finally if the 1:3 is too much try 1:5 or even up to 1:8 was suggested.
This along with washing my face morning AND NIGHT is what I am going to try!
Ugh, I'm having the same problem except - yuck - it's mostly my chest/back that is acting up. I think that mostly this is due to the new BCP I'm using.
Sadly, the only thing that has ever really worked to get rid of acne for me is tanning, which I really don't want to do. In the past I've gone to the dermatologist who prescribed two different meds and even those didn't work as well as tanning. Figures... the thing that works best is the last thing I should be doing.
Has your diet / skin care regimen / makeup changed recently?
Yes I have not been working out as much or eating very well hopefully that is my issue and now that I am getting back into the groove of working out and eating better it will go away ASAP!!!
I may try the apple cider thing too.

After 27 years of searching (haha) I've finally found the perfect combo for me:
a prescription (and super gentle) face lotion from the Derm + the Clarisonic face brush = clear skin for Ali. Any deviation from this results in massive breakouts.
