Def will be following this thread. I cant contribute much since im basically done with derms because i always ended up with more trouble. Im actually feeling a little hopeless all together. I found so...

Yes, that means the color is not right for you. That happened to me horribly with Clinique concealers. But I have super fair skin with a pinkish tone and cliniques colors seem to be geared more toward...

Aloe is still working well. The lemon oil is better, but it causes a rash so I can't use it. Right now, I'm experimenting with different herbs/tea like saw palmetto, black cohosh and spearmint tea to...

Hey Joonbug- I've seen the same thing with some SPF lotions. I mainly use Neutrogena products since I've had too much trouble with other lines. Years ago, I used one of their spf lotions and it was su...

Carwinns-Thanks! Treseme is a disaster! I tried that back in highschool and my hair was stringy and gross. I wish I could get away with not washing it, but my hair is so fine and this excess oil on my...

Nope. it's blackheads and white heads. That looks like a painful rash. And oily skin doesn't cause acne for me but it looks like I've dumped olive oil on my face after two hours.

I could definitely use this on my nose. Thank you!

I also have to disagree. Do what makes you happy!

Please explain the logic behind your statement. When I use foundation or powder, my face is mess. My skin is crystal clear when I don't. If it's solely hormonal, then how is it possible that i have ze...

This is one of the most helpful responses ever! Thank you so much! Yes-I'm super lucky about the birth control. I see the trouble other girls have and it's heartbreaking. I was planning on at least f...

Jpoznan0587- Does it help with oily skin? That's my main problem. I don't really have acne issues. (Though I would if I didn't use benzoyl peroxide, but that keeps me almost perfectly clear.) Oh wai...

Hi green gables- i should probably mention i have no acne issues. Its the oily skin thats a problem. As i mention earlier in a reply to another member, im one of the lucky people that doesnt break out...

I prefer lemon juice. I use it as a quick mask after i wash my face and then use it as spot treatment after i moisturizer and use my bp. I used hydroquinone and it worked but it didnt work as quickly ...

I have very long hair and I'm trying to go a little more natural. I've found some things that are making a difference in my hair, but seem to cause a little build up on my scalp. It's not super itchy,...

I agree with the girls. Wear it and don't think twice. You're the one that looks at your face everyday closely and make up can do wonders for self esteem. I also ABSOLUTELY agree with Like Moonlight....

Blotting sheets and tissue paper work super well. If I don't have either of those things, I just use kleenex or toilet paper, but I press gently since they seem to soak up quite a bit. If I blot too o...

Thanks Madeleine! Im going to look into these. Im worried about reactions since i have bad luck with way too many products but i wonder, do you think they might do some extractions without serums? Or ...

Yes hopefully no one takes those on regular birth control. I need to do more research though because i thought those herbs boosted just estrogen levels. All of this is a little confusing to me but tha...

Hey ellie! turns out most of the herbal supplements (including the three mentioned in this post) interact with birth control which was a bummer, but after a nice discussion with my gyne today, and re...

Sounds like you have some of the same issues we all have. Make-up can irritate no matter what the label says unfortunately. But if you know what to stay away from, you're that much more informed. Foo...

Joonbug- Hey! If you like the vitamin c peel, I'll mention what I do in case you want to try it. I have good luck with this healing acne and preventing cysts from getting worse, but it also helps ligh...

I think I agree with that description more than mine actually. After reading that, I think that because I have the same symptoms with both the white head mountain and just the regular mountain, I assu...

Hey Joonbug! I got the lemon oil at the vitamin shoppe. Nature's Alchemy. I place one small drop on my fingers on top of a small drop of my moisturizer. I mixed them together and apply it. Smells grea...

Paigems- I'm on day three of fish oil, so far so good, but if I notice any change I'll stop taking it. Thanks for the head's up. I don't eat eggs, so I'm good there. bris305-Me too. I "think" the sp...

Everyone-this is awesome. Thanks so much for input! Omnivium- I agree, advertising and the media have way too much influence. I also agree on the genetics- Mom and Gram both had oily skin up until ...
