Help - my skin looks horrible!!!
| Sat, 08-16-2003 - 9:41pm |
Hello ladies!
I hope you all are doing wonderful and wishing you the very best! I have a big complaint! My skin has never looked so bad, well since my middle teens that is. I'm breaking out on my cheeks, neck, and my shoulders. I feel like a huge zit face! I was wondering if there is anything I can use to help clear my skin. I'm going to a wedding next week (my friend's) and I don't want to look so unpretty. Please if you can lend me some help. I really apperciate it!

I use two things.
Tea tree oil works as a spot application to the zits themselves. I take a q-tip and dip it in and spot it on where I am breaking out. If I catch them early the zits will usually be gone by the next day. I get this at Trader Joes (if you are in CA??) or any health food store.
I also wash my face with Dr. Bronners soap (they have lots of flavors, peppermint is my favorite). It is a liquid castille soap that you can get at most grocery stores and health food stores. It can be drying to the skin on your face so make sure you moisturize afterwards. I also use a facial brush or washcloth on my face once a week (with the Dr. Bronners) to exfoliate.
I worked as a make-up artist for a few years and these were the tricks that worked best for me. I used to break out constantly, and I have tried everything under the sun. Remember, everyones skin is different and products work different on everyone.
The important steps are exfoliate and moisturize.
Gosh, this got long!!
Hope it helps,
