Ironically, I've never bleached hair or clothes. But a while ago I ruined some expensive green pillowcases I got as a wedding gift and was VERY mad. I mean, I use so little bp that I just didn't think of it. So now I bought us white pillowcases for the nights we use bp. But it still won't bring my favorite pillowcases back

Exfoliate while on Acne cure?
saimiri replied to 0h_boy's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
Well, the AHA and BHA are already chemical exfoliators. But I do extra exfoliation anyway. Once a week, I exfoliate with St Ives apricot scrub and then use Queen Helene's mask. For that one day, I don't use any of the acne cure products. -

SA= Paula's choice 2%; St. Ives clear pore wash GA= Paula's choice, and also kiss my face 5% AHA if I need to moisturize BP= Paula's choice -
Am I the only one that likes the first picture? Because it is more upclose and he is still smiling.

First I must clarify that I have very mild acne but sometimes I can go through rough phases when a lot of pimples will show up at once. I was going through one of these crazy phases before my wedding when I decided to try the acne cure. But since my case wasn’t severe and the products are harsh, I started slowly, and developed my own regime. Here it is. I’ve been doing this for over a month and now only get the occasional pimple before my period. So, for those of you wanting a low

Best SA Product Need Opinions...
saimiri replied to Aaron69's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
I like St. Ives clear pore cleanser. It has SA high on the ingredient list, and also tea tree oil. But it doesn't burn your face. -
Cleanser: body shop tea tree oil soap bar Moisturizer: kiss my face aloe alpha oil-free lotion

I agree with Sweetchica but I would use the 2% BHA, not the 1%. I started with1% and it did nothing. If you are already using 2% SA, then I would stick with 2%.

KISS MY FACE
saimiri replied to meeraboots's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
I think I've said this before... I use Kiss My Face alpha aloe oil-free moisturizer. It is $10 for a huge container, so I use it on my face AND my body. This is the only moisturizer that I've ever found that I can use both on my face and body. That makes it very convenient and I love it The moisturizer never made me break out. -
You guys may think I am nuts. But when I get a cyst, the only way for me to make it go away is to make it come to a head and pop it. Initially, I DO try to dry it out with Queen Helene's mask but usually I end up popping it. Usually I just leave it alone and it comes to a head. If it doesn't, I put vaseline on it before sleeping. That makes the white stuff come up, usually. Before popping it, I take a warm shower and make sure the skin is soft.

Queen Helene's mask works for me. But usually I just pop the pimple.

Natural OR Less Harsh Cleansers

I like the Body Shop's tea tree oil soap. Never makes me break out. -

I also LOVE her products. I have been doing a modified version of the acne cure with her products: 2% SA 8% GA 2.5% BP. I don't use every product everyday, I skip days. That way it won't feel irritating. But I highly recommend her products.
