That should mean that the pimples' process is being excellerated. The tea tree will shorten the time of a pimple but some pimples will have to come to more of a head before they heal. All the junk ins...

Thanks Crossfit. Apple Cider Vinegar acts as a toner to readjust pH of skin. If you are looking for reviews about it, check out makeupalley.com. You have to dilute it properly. I would not use anythin...

It was about 7 applications, or about 4 days, when I woke up one morning and realized my skin was 100 times smoother than it had been. I also found that any pimples that popped up came and went in abo...

Good! Hopefully good things will come!

My two cents would be to continue your gentle skin routine that keeps your skin calm, healthy, and feeling healthy. I stumbled across an Esty member who over the years has developed products for sensi...

You can do either. It is best if you can find some way to leave it on like with your toner but you would need an eye dropper. You do want to be very careful not to go overboard. It is quite potent but...

How does your skin feel? Remember if ever your skin feel dry or gets flakey you can cut the witch hazel with water. Tea tree works great for spot treatment. It definitely shortens the time pimples are...

Well good to know about the water!   I remember taking a course of pills when I got a Rx of benzaclin. Not sure what they were or what they were called though. Haven't taken anything since then.

I do not know if this is relevant at all but one thing I have noticed I do that is very different from most people is that I drink VERY little while I eat. I have heard some people believe drinking li...

Any update?

Thanks Doodle! I appreciate your insight. I am and have always been very petite even though anyone who knows me will tell you I eat a LOT. I can put it away lol. I am 5'3 and 95 lbs. I can eat whateve...

My moisturizer has aloe in it as second ingredient. My diet has not really changed. I've been cooking more from scratch lately but thats only just recently and because I'd rather not eat processed mea...

I got the tea tree oil at Whole Foods. The brand I have is Now Essential Oils but there were a couple others like Desert Essence and one more I can't think of. As long as it was 100% tea tree oil I ju...

If you are looking for a more natural route you may be interested in the Burt's Bees line. They even have an acne line. I didn't even try their acne stuff because they have other cleansers that are al...

I would try just using your lotions on spots only, instead of all over. Your regimen sounds like mine did when I had constant blemishes pop up everyday, everywhere. Every product I used had something ...

Great! Did you try them out?

Maybe this is why oil cleansing worked for me using grapeseed and sunflower oils together. Never did bother with olive oil or anything else. Had no idea about lenoleic acid. Thanks for the info!

I would bet that your increased oiliness is because your skin is getting a bit dried out. If your skin gets dry or stripped at all, it will kick into overdrive to produce more sebum and oil to compens...

Hello! For the last 3 years or so I have searched online for answers about why my skin was so red. Could it be from my acne? Could I have rosacea before I was even 30? Would it ever go away? Who else ...

You're welcome. I used a Mary Kay medium coverage liquid foundation with everyday minerals on top for my wedding and it looked fantastic!! It is that good quality that I trust it for the most importan...

Long term? Help your skin help itself. Your skin may be going through changes but as long as you keep it healthy and functioning normally your skin is going to be what you need for long term maintenan...

The trick to all of this is to know your skin and know ingredients. You should be able to formulate your "perfect" product as if you were going to make it (like what Dan did) and then go out and find ...

Awesome. Yeah I love tea tree oil, did you read about it or any reviews? It is more of an active ingredient and should be used very sparingly (I'm talking one drop at a time). Took me a while to final...

Yep those are it! I CAN use the toner full strength, but it doesn't need to be. I have mine mixed with other things that I want benefits from for my redness, but the toner is the main ingredient. If i...

Are you using just pure aloe vera or what product are you using?
