Wool And Breakouts?

05 December 2012 - 02:34 AM

Not sure if this is the best forum to put this in, but I was wondering if anyone knew if the lanolin in wool could cause breakouts? I know the irritation can, and that lanolin has antibacterial properties, but could it also clog pores?
Thanks!

Bp Time- How Long?

13 August 2012 - 01:55 AM

I was wondering, how long does it take for you guys' bp to dry? I've talked about this in posts before, but I really feel like mine takes forever to dry despite rubbing it in and having completely dry skin beforehand.

Also, while I'm posting, I get super dry hands from putting the bp on my back. Other than using a tool, what do you guys do to prevent this?

Hope everyone is well!

Thoughts On Hormones

26 May 2012 - 01:43 PM

Okay, I have a question-- if the hormones that rise during PMS are progesterone and estrogen, why do treatments like BCP and Spiro, medications that would increase prog. and est. in relation to other hormones, work for premenstrual acne?

Thanks!

Holi

23 March 2012 - 05:29 PM

So, I just participated in a holi festival. While it was a HUGE blast, I'm now freaking out. The color won't come off, even after vigorous scrubbing, both of which I'm scared will worsen my acne. And I know the powdered dyes you get sprayed with are supposed to be really irritating and drying and people develop rashes, to which I'm prone.
Anyone else play holi this or some other year, and, if so, have any tips?

Bp + Zinc Oxide?

17 February 2012 - 02:23 AM

Can benzoyl peroxide and zinc oxide be used in conjunction? Would it have any effect on their actions?
What about with Retin-A? I know bp and retin-a can't be used together, because retin-a is an antioxidant and bp is an oxide, so would the same apply to retin-a + zinc?

Thanks guys! Happy Friday!
