I've always had bad skin and nothing seems to work. I've tried Proactive (that crap doesn't work for everybody!!!), Murad, IQ Derma, Natures Cure, Clearasil, Neutrogena, Acne Free (got that from Costco), Garnier, just plain Witch hazel, and probably a couple more that I can't think of.
A coworker, who's an esthetician, says that my skin seems to build up, not getting rid of the old skin. She says I should stick with a system that has a 2% salicylic acid treatment as part of it. (She told me to try a system from Avon, which I just started using about a week ago). The only problem is that my skin is so sensitive. Gels seems to make me break out more. The salicylic treatment in IQ Derma was the first one that made my skin feel healthy but it won't get rid of this beard of zits I seems to have right around my mouth nor my onslaught of blackheads.
Any ideas?
(oh and as a side note I drink about 64 oz of water a day and my diet is relatively good.)
Well, Ive never really had to do any acne treatments because i never really broke out at all and i really kept myself clean. Well surprisingly now im breaking out in whiteheads and small pimples. im like NO! im also trying to lose about 15 pounds that i gained on my vacation. Those buffets sure get ya! hahaha. well heres what im planning to do:
Wake up at 6 am go on elliptical for 20 minutes.
Take a 10 minute shower. Use Noxzema Deep Lathering Cleanser in shower (ive always used this)
I use Hydrating Teatree Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. I also deep condition with Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Masque once every two weeks. I use a loofah to exfoliate my skin, does that work? So if im really breaking out i use my proactiv renewing cleanser on the spots with most zits. Then i get out and comb my hair and then apply Biosilk Silk Treatment to my damp hair. I then use my stridex acne pads. Then 3 times a week i moisturize with either aveeno clear complextion moisterizer or proactiv oil free moisturizer with spf 15. Then i get dressed, let my hair air dry, and eat a fruit for breakfast. When my hair is dry, i straighten it. I put it in layers and use my Pantene Shine and Heat protection spray on each layer. Either i straighten it or curl or just leave it or do something lol. After that im pretty much done and just apply my usual every day makeup. I get my stuff together and then go on the computer or something and then leave for work. I dont eat lunch all day other than maybe a water, juice, and a granola bar or something. Then i get home and eat a nice healthy dinner. Sounds good? My coworker who i am very close to pointed out that i was getting a few pimples and i freaked. (we are really good friends lol) im glad she pointed it out. But what i noticed by myself is that i went for a good 120 to 145 in 8 days at my resort! CRAZY!!! lol so thanks in advance plz helP!
