Paintball, Football?

Going paintballing in 2 weeks what should I do? I have to wear a mask and I am playing football outside Friday... I am on Tetracycline so, I HAVE to wear sunscreen? ugh

Baking Soda?

Okay everyone...



I am a 16 year old male. Here's what I'm doing... help me please!

AM: take 1 Tetracycline 500mg
wash with Cetaphil Facial Daily Cleanser(with 10 drops jojoba oil mixed in)<--- If I have enough jojoba left
apply Cetaphil Moisturizer with 6 drops jojoba oil


PM: wash with Cetaphil Facial Daily Cleanser(with 10 drops jojoba oil mixed in)<---If I have enough jojoba left...
wait 30 minutes or longer(until face is completely dry) apply Tretinoin Cream 0.025(USED TO DO STOPPED 2 DAYS AGO)
apply Cetaphil Moisturizern with 6 drops of jojoba oil


I stopped the Tretinoin because I felt maybe my skin needed a break from it so it wouldn't be as red... Also I read that you shouldn't be on Tetracycline and Tretinoin at the same time at various websites! my face is still red I have noticed I am breaking out more than I already am... I want to know about baking soda... could I incorporate this into my regimen now? Hows should I use it? I have some and want to try it...
I have been doing this for about 9 months now... finally got referred to a dermatologist... instead of my family doc I go the 18th... THANKS so sooooo much in advance!

Help me out please? :(

My face is always a little red... could I stop the Tretinoin for a few days? I have been doing this for about 9 months now... finally got referred to a dermatologist... instead of my family doc I go the 18th... I am afraid to stop the Tretinoin... What would happen? Also what else could I do with my regimen I am on now? THANKS so sooooo much in advance!

Tired of red dry bad looking skin!!!

Hey everyone! I am a 16 year old male. I am currently on Tetracycline 500mg once a day and Tretinoin Cream0.025 at night. My skin has got a lot clearer but, can deffiantly improve in my opinion. I have smaller bumps now. I also have some acne on my back and mild acne on my chest. I have been doing this for 6-9 months now.I take my oral antibiotic in the morning. I wash every morning with Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser then apply Cetaphil Moisturizer with Jojoba Oil(couple drops) sometimes I use Olay SPF 15 Sensitive Skin i don't like it at all though so I usually don't use it. At night I wash with Cetaphil Daily Cleanser then wait 30 minutes then apply Treatinoin Cream 0.025. Also every other day before I brush my teeth or shave I take 12 drops of Jojoba Oil & rub it on my face gently at first then apply more pressure & go in circular motions still being pretty gentle. I do this for 5 minutes then let it sit on face for 10 minutes shave, brush teeth, then continue as I would regulary. How does all of this sound? Anything to improve what I am doing? Is the REGIMEN for me? Thanks so much everyone! PLEASE PLEASE HELP! it's so frusturating my girlfriend doesn't understand it... I get mad when she trys to touch my face or anything & I haven't explained why or anything I wonder what she thinks I am mean about it... ugh do I explain everything to her or what? I don't know! It's embarrissing!
