Saving my skin

[SkinCareJunky]

At present, I've pretty much been destroying my skin. The only thing which keeps my acne away is 2.5% BP..you know..those stridex pads. For spot treatment, I use the Neutrogena 2.5% BP. My skin is naturally veryyyy oil..so it doesn't get dry or flakey from this regimen. Well, I know that BP doesn't exactly have anti aging benefits and if anything..it's quite the opposite. I'm 20 years old and I'm starting to worry. Should I stop using these products? If I do..my acne will come back with a vengeance. If I don't..I don't know what will happen.

So, I pretty much need advice from those of you who use BP on an everyday basis. What do you use in conjunction to promote anti aging..without undoing the work of the BP? Thanks in advance!!

Hey! I've been using BP 2.5% daily for the past year and half and it's working wonders keeping my acne at bay. I've found that it's crucial you moisturise, whether it's before appying BP, after applying or if you use BP at night moisturise in the morning etc... you get the idea.

Find a non-comedogenic, oil free moisturiser. Neutrogena make some good ones. I'm using Liz Earle's Skin Repair Moisturiser at the moment, only since last week though so I can't recommend anything. Simple also make some great basic moisturisers that would be suitable for you.

Hope you sort it out. Let me know.

Thanks, Lee.

Thanks Lee

Moisturizing is definitely important..I just thought I could get away with it for the longest time..because of my oily skin. I'll have to look for a good moisturizer. Thanks for the suggestions. I might try the Neutrogena one.
