I have PCOS too and I know how horrible it is. Why don't you try accutane? As harsh as it is it doesn't take away your organs like removing your ovaries would.

Maybe it's because shaving exfoliates your face? Do you do anything to exfoliate it when you don't shave?

Skincare Cleanser - £25, a year Moisturizer - £5, 6 months SPF - £10, 6 months Face mask - £10, a year+ The makeup I use varies. I don't use a lot of it so it lasts a really long time.

I go without makeup fairly frequently. Nobody seems to care particularly. I think it mostly acts as a confidence boost for me.

Still no new actives since I started the brushing. I put some salicylic acid on my spots last night to see if it does anything. Still completely ineffective. Thank goodness for benzoyl peroxide.

No new actives today. Less dry skin from the dry brushing but still a surprising amount.

Well done for not squeezing you two! Ah, AHA, the friend of every acne sufferer. Dry brushing is indeed just what it sounds like. Personally I use quite a hard brush, but my skin's used to rough treat...

I don't know what these are, but I get them sometimes. They do go away on their own.

I'm sorry to hear it's not going well for you both! And I hope your skin feels much better soon. I squeezed a small blackhead on my forehead yesterday. It was ready to come out so it didn't aggravate...

Mild inflammatory I'd say, most likely hormonal from the placement.

Put some calamine lotion on over night and it seems to have calmed down the worst of the actives and faded some pigmentation a little.

Did a dry brushing on my face, ridiculous amounts of flakes came off where I get the most breakouts. Looks like my usual method of exfoliation hasn't been working. This explains much.

I tried dry skin brushing on my face today (I know there's a link between irritation and acne, but I already physically exfoliate with no difference in the amount/severity of my blemishes). The bristl...

Currently got 4 actives, 3 white heads and 1 with no head. I also have some hyper-pigmentation, some small clogged pores and a burn on my jawline. Staying very strictly faithful to my skin care routin...

I took 50mg of zinc and 1000mg of vitamin C last night before bed and this morning quite a lot of my actives have gone flat. Sticking to not touching or picking at my face and applying quite a lot of ...

Every time I pick or pop anything my acne comes back full force. It's really frustrating. This time I need to vow to never pick my face ever, ever again.

I understand where you're coming from but I honestly think he'll just be that thrilled about the prospect of intimacy that your skin won't really be on his mind.

First of all you spend a night of unbridled passion with yourself. Then you wake up the next morning, look in the mirror and announce awkwardly "So... do you want breakfast?" before phoning a cab. Lea...

I'd help in a heart beat but I'm in England.

Congratulations on graduating Lily! So. It's come back. Now, on the whole I'm not too worried about it. It does this sometimes - my face becomes a warzone then quietly fades into a truce after a f...

My skin is pretty bad right now - lots of clogged pores, but it's the large red dots that are getting me down. It's still not as bad as it used to be, but I suppose the pressure of final year and my P...

I have one of those spots on my jawline that starts out painful then ends up really, really itchy. Not touching it is a nightmare.

I have the itchiest spot in the universe on my jawline. It's shrunken considerably in size since it appeared a week ago but I can actually feel it there. Grr.

Visual update: I'm not very happy with that big red spot on my left cheek (it's a mark, not an active pimple). Otherwise my skin's doing pretty well. My hormones have regulated again natur...
