To scared to try this.

I know how you feel,I had been using bp for like 6 or 7 years,it worked off and on but it seemed to be the only thing that worked. I stopped using it cause my skin was getting so dry,even with moisturizer my skin was very dry. Also I realized my mom,my sister,all my aunts and my gramma have good skin but they never used anything on their skin well atleast not bp or anything like that. So I slowly weened it out of my care routine but I was worried my skin would be even worse! I basically replaced the bp with aloe vera,acv,steaming and I was using the hot water dip method with epsom salt.

congratulations melodie..  I am 27 years old and have started to get acne when i turned 26, a year now.  It's just so frustrating..I haven't been big on the "natural ways" but i did try some.  I've worked around hospital settings and i've really been exposed to fast results, so i resorted to antibiotics (oral and topicals, and i'm afraid i've grown resistant.. since when i do have infections, they prescribe me  stronger antibiotics)  I just really hope mine clears up too..=(


Ive taken antibiotics alot in my life but for bronchitis,I learned not to take to much,I asked the doctor and he even admitted to me its not good to take them for too long cause they will also go after the good bacteria in your system! Im actually scared of pills cause I am one of those people that had a very bad reaction to accutane when I was 19!!! Depending on whether your skin is oily,dry or combination skin theres many natural stuff you can use that works better then any of the specifically for acne products. I went through a lot of trial and error. Who would think to put apple cidar vinegar on their face! Lol,I am a product junkie so it was strange for me to stop using all those foamy tingly skin products that we think are gonna help our skin. I wish I knew then what I know now!!! What type o skin do you have?
