Hello!
i am a freshman in college. Throughout high school I was blessed with perfect skin. I never had to wash my face routinely, I would just wash it when I was in the shower. However, this fall, my skin started having issues.
I started breaking out pretty bad and I figured out it was because of a new smoothie I was drinking regularly. I changed the smoothie recipe and I didn't have any major issues with the new one, a few breakouts here and there.
As of right now, my skin is.. blah. It's not horrible but like I said, I used to have perfect skin so I do not like how it looks now. I have a bunch of small bumps on my face with nothing in them and it just seems to be getting worse. About a month ago my doctor prescribed me sulfacleanse face wash and I've been using it as prescribed, but she also prescribed me minocycline. I have not taken it yet because I have read some pretty horrible things about it.. but I'm now wondering if I should give it a shot? I'm also cutting out all smoothies to see if that will make a difference .
sorry it took so long to get to the point here but I really need some advice!
Also, I have makeup on in these pics.
Nah, I wouldn't use minocycline in your situation, at least not now. First try some topicals. I would buy Benzoyl Peroxide and some topical retinoid(if you have blackheads). Use Benzoyl almost every night when you are going to sleep, and topical retinoid every 2-3 days. Don't use too much, because you skin can react in bad way(it can become too dry). Both can be bought without prescription.
