Ahh help

[polaroidscene]

So my skin just got bad over two days...usually i have pimples around that time of the month...but for some reason my skin has decided to flip on me. I had one or two that went away and then i saw my face get worse and then yesterday and today iwake up with even more bumps on my face (forehead and around mouth) and im not quite sure the only thing i've used that i dont normally is neutrogenas moisturizer and a mint mask by Queen Helene.. I also switched birth controls, but even my chest has broken out..my job gets a little stressful and some situations in life but no MAJOR stress. Right now ihave on proactivs mask..anyone have any suggestions, thougths, or information?

also i have dry flaky spots and its warming up in WI so idk why they have gotten worse

I find that an oil controling cleanser like Neutrogena Rapid Clear Oil-Control Foaming Cleanser works really well at keeping my face feeling clean all day with out oil mess eww. And a toner that will sweep away dead surface skin and smooth over rough, uneven patches, and get deep down into pores. Like Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner, Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Formula. A light moisturizer too. My skin was looking horrible for a while there to but this truly helped me out alot .

Could be the Neutrogena, it has broken me out before.

Try a toner with salycilic acid and some tea tree oil directly on the pimples. Clinique Clarifying Lotion in 3 or 4 and you can get tea tree oil in any health section.

neutrogenas moisturizer broke me out before.

 

[polaroidscene]

well maybe it is the moisturizer

any suggestions of a new one i did use clinque but i ran out and bought a replacement

i use this stuff during my period.

i never cared for theyre moisturizers though.

That makes me sad that my moisturizer is probably the cause. I'll stop using it and see if thats it .... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> now i have no moistureizer lol

It could be due to your new birth control...what brand did u take and what did u switch to? OPh and Neutrogena breaks me out..so that could be a possible reason too.

Are you changing your pillow case frequently? Make sure your clean your phone(s) daily as bacteria can build up on them as well.

I switched from Estrostep to Yaz.....I dont change my pillow cases though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and i wipe off my phone but not with cleaner..i think i might switch moisturizers if my face doesn't clear up.

 

[chic_chica]

I use yaz..heard its supposed to be good for your skin. I don't get any major break outs with it though...just the occasional pimple which i guess is normal. Oh and I do clean my phone with Mentholated Spirit very often to get rid of all the germs.

could be your hormones getting used to the new birth control

 

[chic_chica]

Yea i think Mezzi is right.

I found Tea Tree oil at walgreens in the nail section and it was .5 oz and 6.99 anyone know of any place where it is cheaper??

I dont think it was my moisturizer i use the most on my cheeks and the ydid not break out...i am thinking it was the birth control

Since you also broke out on your cheest, I don't think it has to do with anything you applied to your face. Most likely culprit is the BC. Upping your water intake for a while might help.
