Hey everybody, I'm 15, and I'm fairly new to this website, I'm sorry if this is not the correct spot to put this, but-
I'm on Day 5 with The Regimen. I've noticed I have about 8 whiteheads? They're big and I was wondering whether or not this is normal? And if it is, how long would you think it would take for them to disappear? Thanks!
These aren't the best quality, but here you go-
hey,
yes this is normal. have you read the "what to expect" page on the regimen? it's pretty accurate. you're going to continue breaking out for a while. i broke out like crazy for probably 3 months, and still broke out after that. but everybody's different and it usually lessens after a certain amount of time.
i always popped my zits on the regimen. as long as the pimple is ready and you do it correctly, it's fine. i always clean the area with some astringent on a q tip first. then i sterilize a needle and do it that way. and make sure to clean the area afterwords. i like to do it before a shower that way i can wash my entire face and make sure nothing spreads. but dan recommends doing it after a shower when your skin is softer.
Ok so this is probably not recommended to use any homemade exfoliant but when I get too many white heads and I just can't handle it any more I use a mix if my cleanser and a Lil salt and baking soda and rub very gently at night time that usually pops them for me because I hate to squeeze my skin it just grosses me out then do a layer of allure very and then the rest of my regimen hope this works for you
