I suffer from cystic acne and I decided to add a toner back into my skin routine so I bought the Dickinsons Witch Hazel Toner I likedit a lot at first because it made my skin reallly soft and wasnt drying me out. But now Im breaking out all over my forehead in a mix of little
pimples to cysts and thats the one area of my face where I rarely if ever breakout me when I do its not widespread like it is now.Ive been under some stress lately but nothing crazy, my hair isnt ever on my face and Ive been using the same products as usual the only thing thats changed is the added toner and the discontinued use of the Oxy 10% BP Face Wash. Could the breakout be from me stopping the face wash (which was because it was irritating my skin too much) or the addition of the toner?
Random add on; could it be my pillow case??
Forget about the reason what is causing it and instead concentrate on reducing the inflamation, which is the biggest culprit for both pain and potential scar. By reducing inflammation, you can also cut down on the overall duration of the acne.
Solution: Take two pills of aspirin or advil (if you're aspirin-intolerant) and apply anti-inflammation cream twice a day (you can use either arthritis cream orVicks VapoRub).
*** For those who break out all the time: You should take 1 pill of 81mg baby aspirin every night. This will act as a preventive measure as well as keep the inflammation down.
