Acne.org Products
I have been on the Acne.org regimen for a month, and it's going great. I really see the difference, and I actually think I would be a lot clearer at this point if it weren't for my two-year-old son. He's adorable and amazing, and I love all the hugs and kisses I get from him. But the problem is that he constantly rubs, touches, kisses, holds his sweaty head against and sometimes even licks my face. And I notice that the breakouts I do get are in those exact areas.
I have been working with him on not touching my face so much, but I'm the primary caregiver and the adult he spends most of his time with. Plus, he's so cute. I don't really want to push him away if he's simply being affectionate.
I'm just wondering if there's any adjustment I can make to the regimen to help counteract these things. Would washing my face midway through the day do more harm than good? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a baby brother who jumps all over me but I don't think he causes me any acne. Even if he did, I wouldn't stop him from doing so. I would honestly say that the bp has done what it can do. If your acne isn't all gone, I would go to the derm. BP is a really good supplement in my opinion, but no med works alone. and if bp requires that you refuse affection from your child -- that's honestly an issue of medication/treatment clashing with lifestyle. I've seen people post about being concerned going camping or traveling and other things because of acne/elaborate treatments. But honestly, if you have to get that elaborate...it's just not worth it. You're still letting acne rule your life. Go to the derm and keep using bp but alternate with whatever she prescribes you.
To be clear, I'm not "refusing affection" from my child. I'm trying to curb him from aggressively licking my face or doing things like grabbing my head in his hands and repeatedly smashing his face against mine when he's acting out. I don't keep my son from hugs, cuddles, kisses or gentle touches. He was getting kind of crazy with the constant stealth bombing of my face, though, which was definitely causing a lot of friction.
