So my face is clear now (thanks Dan), and I want to change up my hairstyle. I'd like to get bangs, but the last time I got them (even though I thought it looked nice) I kept them pinned back 99% of the time because my face gets hot easily & the bangs just made it worse. Just thinking about bangs touching my forehead all day drives me crazy. I can't even wear sunglasses because I don't like the feeling of the sunglasses resting on the ridge of my nose. Does anyone else have an issue like this?

I've got bacne, probably because I work out everyday & sweat like crazy. I want to invest in quality sweat wicking sports bras, but they're very expensive. I take a shower pretty quickly after my workout.
I've watched Dan's how to do the regimen in the shower videos (hot bod btw), but I've got long hair & trying different methods to clear up my bacne. Sometimes I'm not sure if my hair conditioner is causing bacne. It's thick, and I make sure to clean my body after so whatever conditioner is on my body is only there for a minute or so. I've stopped using my body soap & started using my regimen soap & BP & AHA, but then I read a couple posts about Head & Shoulders so I might try that. It's hard to clean my back because my long hair. I've tried putting it in a shower cap after I rinse the conditioner out & I've tried wrapping it in a Turbie Twist thing but it's cloth & gets wet when I'm rinsing my back. Maybe I should put it in a quick wet bun? If you have long hair, do you have any suggestions?

For a couple weeks I have been doing the baking soda scrub & ACV/water toner, but the ACV smell is really starting to get to me. My room smells because I throw away my ACV cotton balls in my trashcan & I can smell the ACV coming from my pores when I work out (even if it's hours later). The past couple days I have waited about 10 minutes & lightly applied a wet cottonball with water, hoping to lessen the ACV smell. Last week my skin was great, but I've probably had 4 new pimples this week. I don't know if it's purging time or what.
SO my question is - if you're drinking ACV, are you NOT doing the baking soda scrub? I thought the ACV would balance out the pH after a baking soda scrub.

I bought everything I need for my first GA peel online, but I was wondering how exactly I need to prep my skin for this peel. I'm currently not using any product with AHAs, just BP. Should I maybe use a product with AHAs so my skin can kinda get used to it before the peel?

I've been using Clearasil or Noxzema alcohol pads for many many years. It's to the point where my face doesn't feel clean without using them.
I think my skin is redder in the areas where I apply the pad. I can see that my skin looks a normal color around my lips & eyes because I avoid these areas. I can really notice this after a workout. The redness goes away in maybe 10 minutes, but I don't like the fact that I can see where I've been applying these on my skin. I know these pads can be kind of harsh, and it will be tough giving them up (I can't imagine being 50 & still using these...I'm going to have to quit sometime), but I will if you guys think they're bad. When my face gets sweaty in the middle of the day, I try to avoid using the alcohol pads & will use 50% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton ball. I guess I just need to feel that sting to feel my skin is really clean. I don't know. If I stop using these pads now, my skin will turn back to its normal color, right? |
