This is my 3rd time trying the acne.org regimen. I first attempted it all the way back in 2007. I always had issues with severe dryness and not spreading the BP out enough. I tried again in 2012 and had the same problems as I did the first time. Fast forward to January 2014 when I decided to give it a final try. Because of the extreme dryness, I don't use a cleanser and only wash my face with water. This has worked out extremely well as there is no longer any irritation and only minimal dryness.
Unfortunately I am acne prone everywhere on my face. This means that I get pimples towards my scalp and on my lower forehead and temples near my eyebrows. In order for me to remain completely clear as I am right now (that feels amazing to write), I have to spread the BP so that it comes in contact with my hair and eyebrows. I have attempted to avoid my hair but in doing so, I will miss skin that needs to be treated as it is so close to my hair that it will breakout.
As a child, I had pretty light blonde hair. Over the years it has changed to a light brown shade. Unfortunately it is bleaching the tips of my hair and basically the entire upper portion and sides of my eyebrows which is bringing back that blonde color a bit but in a weird way. I have been buzzing my hair every few weeks to get the bleached hair out but I obviously can't shave off my eyebrows. Does anyone have any tips on things to put on my hair and eyebrows that will protect them from the BP? I have tried to put Aquafor on them but it gets messy.
I have really dark hair and eyebrows and BP turns them to a delightful ginger colour. I have to dye my brows dark again and I dye my hair anyway to get rid of the 'ahem' grey bits.
I know you're a guy but dying your eyebrows will be fine and no one will ever know. You can get some brow tint from chemists (in Australia there is a product called 1000 hour brow and lash tint).
Good luck and congrats on getting clear...whats a few bleached brows compared to acne?
