List Of Products I've Been Using...

List Of Products I've Been Using... I took these pictures several weeks back. As of right now my skin is suffering through a "rash" of acne along both jawlines - clusters of deep cystic acne. They are healing up a bit but are still prominent in appearance, although they are no longer painful. When this type of painful acne appears is when I start slathering the BP pretty much all over my face. I don't know if there is a better way, but for now this is what I do.

Anyway, in comparison to the deep acne, my face in these pics looks much improved. And you can see the deep dark scars left behind from years of this crap.

Im not sure what has caused my current inflammation. The only thing I can think of is because it is summertime & my face has increased its oil production.

So my products have not changed at all since starting my routine, which i do at night:
The jojoba oil mixed with the green tea scrub, followed by the salicylic acid moisturizer. While my face is still wet with the moisturizer is when I slather the BP. About once per week I use the sulfer mask as a spot treatment. It is very very drying, though.

My morning routine includes:
a warm wet wash cloth to cleanse my skin of the excess oils it produces during sleep, moisturizer (usually the Eucerine if Im wearing a foundation with little or no SPF), & a very light layer of BP, followed by foundation makeup.

If using a mechanical exfoliator like the green tea scrub is too much for you I would suggest something like the Alba mask, which is a gel that is made with pineapple enzyme. Its very effective but it does tend to sting my skin pretty good. I still use it, though.

That is all for now. Hopefully I can get this "rash" under control...




Wait.. you're using BP and salicylic acid products together? I'm not sure if that's a good idea. :\

I would pick one. Choose a very simple cleanser like purpose or clean & clear for sensitive skin. Then apply something to let sit in. They really do nothing when in a face wash anyhow.

Also I have the same thing right now and I thought maybe it was due to my use of jojoba oil. It was the only thing that changed. I dunno.

I hope all goes well and your skin calms down. And same for mine cuz it just isn't disguisable.
As I understand it, the clearing up is more effective this way. Have i been wrong all this time?? Oh noes. I think I'll go research this. Other people have said the jojoba has caused them trouble too. Thanks for your insight here.=)
I love St.Ives scrubs!! But they can be harsh, good luck!
Try Unblemish Rodan + Fields it worked for me
