how do you use the regimen (especially body regimen users) when you spend the night elsewhere?
for the younger folk here, this probably means sleeping at friends' houses, but i've recently been seeing a guy and spending quite a bit of time at his place. i don't want to be covered in bp and unable to touch anything while i'm over there, but i don't want to break out!
any suggestions?
thanks!

I stopped using BP on my back and replaced it with Dan's AHA+. It doesn't bleach, smell, or dry out your skin. Take a shower at night and then apply the AHA+ and do the same in the morning. He won't even notice you have anything on =)

I stay at my girlfriends quite a bit when we are home from college (like now during winter break) and at first I would just shower at night really quick, just rinse off for like 2 min and use cleanser in the shower, then do bp and moisturizer after that as my regular "getting ready" routine. I shower because I felt weird washing my face and putting all this acne medicine and whatever as a guy in front of my girlfriend at her house... Lol kinda dumb but it made me feel more comfortable about doing it. When she stays at my house when we are away at college I don't care and I just do it normal washing in the sink and whatever, but if you just wanna feel more comfortable about doing it I'd suggest doing a quick shower at night when you stay at his place. I have no advice about body acne though because I only have it on my face.

Now I just do the regimen in the sink at night when I stay with her because we've been together for 4 years, but that is my suggestion if this is a new relationship and you just feel weird about doing it in front of him at his house.

hey, i tested the aha on my left shoulder, and even while still doing the bp there i broke out. how long does the ib last? i worry that i'll never have the security of knowing i won't break out if i just do the bp, and that if i get out of the bp routine it will be difficult to get back into it again. maybe i could do bp every other night? thoughts?
