Hello,
I have been on the Regimen for 1 month and a half now and I can certainly see some improvements! However, next week I am going on vacation and I would prefer to not use a BP in that week. Do you think it would be a damage? If I take a 1 week break from the treatment, would it make my skin look worse again? I am planning to only use an acne prone moisturizer and a cleanser.
The reason I'm considering this is because my skin is dry and I will be in a sun which could make it even dryer I guess. I also don't want to go through this routine during my holidays. Usually no matter how careful I am, I still ruin all my towels and this I would not want to do this time...
Please let me know if anyone's been on a short break during the Regimen and what was the result of it. Also maybe you could suggest some alternatives that you do during vacation?
Many thanks.
There's a few things you could do. One would be to do your regimen at night only for the week you're away. This will at least allow you to keep up your treatments partially while away and minimize sun sensitivity during the day. I'd still recommend using a moisturizer with SPF during the day, like Olay Complete or Neutrogena Oil-Free, even if you do stop your treatments temporarily.
If you're concerned about ruined towels, consider packing a few white towels, at least for drying your face. BP can certainly ruin a good beach towel, so I hear ya there...been there, done that! But I'd rather come up with other towel alternatives than regimen alternatives, JMO.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Enjoy your holiday!
