| Muddy12: I already do wash my face twice a day and I avoid greasy fast foods. I drink lots of water, eat plenty of fruits/vegies, exercise, and avoid most fats and sugars except for a weekly treat or two. I don't wear foundation, only moisturizer with sunscreen. Ramrice: That may be true. The moisturizer I use is for combination/oily skin but perhaps I should switch to something else. My face feels greasy by the end of the day. But, I don't want to dry it out, either. I believe my break-outs are primarily hormonal. A friend of mine a lot younger than I am had break-outs in the exact same spots.... until she got pregnant. Then BAM, acne gone! Knowing that, I wonder if a little progesterone cream might help. Actually, I found a product that seems to be starting to work. Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment. It comes in a small tube (less than 1 oz.) and costs just a few dollars. So far I am applying it just once a day as directed and I see fewer pimples in these two areas, and the ones that remain appear smaller. Jen |
