A friend of mine told me she had great results with that stuff proxxxx?? they sell on the infomercial [sorry, I am having a brain cramp]. However, I saw her the other day and did not think her skin looked much better.
If you have a local health food store they can hook you up with sea salt. It's wonderful for a facial scrub twice a week. It also has natural extracts(seaweed) in it which helps close those large pores us ladies can be prone too! It'll keep your skin nice and tight and smoooooth!
Your daily water intake is also VERY key to clear skin!
I'm 37 and I had clear skin until I was in my mid 30's, then all of a sudden I started breaking out occasionally. Then it turned into real adult acne along my jawline and on my chin. I tried every OTC product with no avail. Then the doc prescribed antibiotics (took them for a month and it helped a lot) and Retin-A. I used the Retin-A for about 2 years and it also helped but it never completely cleared up. Then this year I did a couple of cycles of prop. and the acne slowed down dramatically with each cycle (that goes against the norm, I know). I've been off for a couple of months and my skin is clear almost all of the time now. I didn't even get a monthly pimple this month!
I don't know why it started and why it stopped...I'm just thrilled it's gone and hope it stays this way. I wash with Carress soap and use Oil of Olay moisturizer twice a day.
Vix...thanks for the sea salt idea for large pores. I'm gonna try that to see if it works because where I had acne my pores are bigger. Grrrrrr...dontcha love magnifying mirrors?
It has seemed to clear up thank fully. I started washing my face with cold water and an oil free cleanser right after I finsh working out. Also been putting tea tree based face mask on once a week.
3?? LOL. look, im 33 and i get them all the time. I am also not on any AS. I also drink tons of water and dont eat greay foods or drink pop. I attribute it to all the sweating i do in the gym. Im buying every product made by Neutrogena inan attempt to fix this. Im too damn old for zits!
