Arrgh! Breakouts!!!

[BeautifullyMADE]

I really don't know what's going on with my skin... so frustrating! I have been experiencing these crazy breakouts all over my forehead. My skin has been so clear all this time and now I guess since I'm reaching 18 this Friday, my skin has a mind of it's own. I have been washing my face normally and my skin regimen routine hasn't changed. What could I do to make my skin better before things get worse. Help... please!

What do you use on your skin exactly?

I know how you feel. My skin cleared up, but from time to time I'll break out, and it just makes me wanna rip my face off.

LOL, I hate when i do get a breakout.. I feel the same way and want to peel my skin off.

I don't really have any advice for you but to give it time to clear back up.

i just experienced something similar in the last week or so. i started getting bumps on my forehead and that's one of the places i never have trouble. when i reviewed what i had changed i narrowed it down to a hair oil which i had stopped using for a while and started back using. when i stopped using it the bumps went away (it took a day or two). you have to review everything you're doing to get to the bottom of the problem, not just what you're doing to your skin. just a little suggestion.

Maybe that's just hormonal imbalance? Just don't forget to exfoliate regularly.

probably its stress, makeup that you are using, or probably your washing your face to often and your skin is drying trust me i know i have had breakout on my forehead forever and i think its because my skin is really dry in that area.

foundation? I wash my face 3 times a day

also do u wash your pillow sheets often?

it almost sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Like Monnie said, I'd review if you're using any new skincare or makeup that you weren't before and try eliminating that, then see if your skin clears up!! Good luck!!!

I always read that even if your skin is oily, you still need a moisturizer and to not dry it out by excessively washing. I used to wash my face like 3-4 times a day, but I cut it back to only twice, if that. I def. wash it at night, but in the morning, I usually just rinse, or cleanse it with a mild cleanser.

Also, I buy Oxy Daily Cleansing pads so that I make sure ALL of my makeup is gone at night. Plus it has Salycilic Acid, so that takes care of the acne that I do get.

Also I noticed that when I don't wash my MU brushes or pillow sheets or towels, I definately get acne.

After changing my whole routine, I stopped getting acne for a couple months and about a month ago I got a couple breakouts again, but I also blame it on not being hydrated enough. A few months ago I would drink like 6 water bottles a day. Now I barely get like 2 cups of it. I'm so mad at myself.

OMG girls, its like almost 5:00 and my face looks like a pizza!

This is disasterous! I have em' everywhere now!

When I really think back on it, I didn't notice my skin being "different" until I started using MAC's Studio Finish Concealer; that's when my first big pimple came. Then I've been a diffrerent type of e/s brand. But as far as my forehead, I don't use moisturizer and don't have any really. My skin is really oily and I've been using blotting powder to help shine control. What are some home products to use until I get some cash in my pockets to help with my skin?

Oily or not, you still ne a good moisturizer, it keeps your skin supple, soft and pliant. Help prevent wrinkles and protects you from UV rays if you use and SPF.

Stop using that foundation, there is probably something in it that your skin doesn't like and make sure your hair products aren't causing the breakouts. For me, when all else failed, washing my brushes and sponges every single day helped. As did throwing out the concealer, foundation and powder that I used on the bactieria infested face. Yep, I through it all out.

Good luck, let us know if you find a solution.

the first thing you need to do is stop using whatever your using that started the problem. as for home remedies maybe less products would be more helpful in clearing up your situation. the most i would try would be maybe aloe vera gel until it normalizes somewhat. keep us posted on your progress.

And with whatever product you're applying your MU with - make sure those are clean daily.

I always forgot this step until recently and I'm seeing less and less acne because I cleaned them after every use.

Stress, change in weather, about to get my period are my causes in getting pimples too. Any of that happen to you?
