Skin question?
Hi!!!
My skin isin't too bad but I always get zits on my forehead and I tend to like pick at them and stuff which just makes them worse obviously!! But I used to use Oil-Free acne wash mask scrub from neutrogena, Pore unclogging scrub from Cvs, and this really good brevoxyl cream wash that my sister got fromm her dermatologist. I didn't have a schedule with them or anything but Imostly just used the oil-free acne wash mask from neutrogena, then my chin started to dry out really bad and it itched and hurt, so I stopped using the products for a few days so my skin wouldn't be dry anymore. Then my face started to break out again and so I started to use the product again and the skin on my chin started to dry out and itch again, and it seems to do this with any acne wash. So I just started to use this clean and clear advantage acne spot treatment that isin't suppose to dry skin and it says 100 percent of ppl had results in just one day. Hold on I will write the rest in the details!! kk!!!
so I started to use jergens natural glow skin moisturizer and I just keep applying this clean and clear advantage spot treatment! Do you think my skin will clear up and not dry out!! Thanx!! I know I had alot of info but thanx for reading!!

The reason your skin is drying up is because the product strips too much of the natural oil in your skin. Switch to a cream cleanser (the rule of thumb is that if it foams less = less drying)
Neutrogena makes an acne cream cleanser.
Or you could continue with what you’re using, but after you’re done washing your face, apply an oil free moisturiser with spf 15 or higher if its during the day; But other than that you should always put on an oil free moisturiser after you wash your face.
I’m sure your chin wont be dry anymore.
Never pick at pimples!! I know its super tempting but remember the more you pick the more likely that you’ll end up with an acne scar.
Another way to help your skin:
Try drinking 5 – 8 glasses of water a day to hydrate your skin. Eat plenty of fruits and veges to get the yummy vitamins that will nourish your skin, and plus the fiber will help flush out toxins in your skin that can cause zits. Vitamin C helps heal zits faster too because it boosts your immunity system, so try to eat an orange a day.
Good luck!

I find that all store bought skin care products dry out the skin. Proactive is a tad pricy, but totally worth it. My cousin and I both saw results without anydry skin.
