Please please help! So I started using the bp treatment about six months ago and it was AMAZING. My face was perfectly clear! But recently I had knee surgery and pretty much went a whole week without washing my face. I didn't break out for the most part but I did get like two pimples. So I started back up again on my usual routine (which has always worked tremendously well). But then my face broke out a ton! I have a lot of small pimples all over my cheeks, eyebrows, and chin. I've had very bad acne in the past and I'm worried that I'm going to lose my clear skin! Please help
Missing a week of treatments can certainly cause a temporary setback, and in your case sounds like it couldn't be avoided. But it is very discouraging and disappointing for sure after working so hard to get clear. Just get right back in the saddle and keep doing the Regimen as religiously as before and I am confident you'll get things back on track. The good news is you've been doing the Regimen for quite awhile so this latest breakout should clear up faster than when you first started.
Aw man...that totally sucks. Having missed a week's worth of treatments, coupled with not washing your face, plus who knows how any of the drugs they put in you are still affecting your skin...yeah a huge breakout and the fact that it is still happening is not altogether surprising. Just keep doing the Regimen religiously and the same way you did it before. It may take some time, but eventually the treatments will catch up with the breakouts and overtake them. Unfortunately, everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to treatment, so the timeline for each person varies. I do know that since the Regimen cleared you before that it will clear you again. Give it to the end of the week on 2 pumps twice a day of BP and if needed, go up to three pumps until things get back on track again. Just try not to get discouraged...easier said than done, I know. We've all been here, trust me.
