Hi there,
so im new here and this is the first time Im posting. Im sick and tired of my acne flare ups. I think theyre mostly hormonal cause its concentrated around the mouth and my chin, although I have like 3 huge zits on my forehead too. Im honestly beat and I dont know what to do as Im gonna go away for college soon and I dont want anyone to see my bare naked face.
Anyway I had acne from 2015 and in 2017 it cleared away when I used proactiv and went for regular microdermabrasion sessions but then a few acne stared popping up around my mouth and then I went off proactiv thinking Ill try the super hyped Korean skin care regime. So I purchased a baking powder face wash from etude house, pimple clearing pad from cosrx, tea tree oil from skin food and a collagen moisturizer from etude house. I started breaking out slowly and it reached to a point where there were angry red flares on my lower face. So I stopped the Korean cosmetics and now Im back on proactiv and Im also using the Clinique anti blemish sonic system( its a facial brush) and instead of the 2.5 %bp lotion Im using bio oil. Im also taking evening primrose oil supplement (3000 mg daily) to balance the hormones. But my skin isnt reacting at all. I mean a few pimples did clear up but then a few more huge bumps came up. At this point Im totally beat. I think its the purging phase of proactiv and the facial brush and the EPO. Its been a month since Ive used proactiv again. I feel so beat and sad and I dont know how I can face college with this hideous skin of mine.
