Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I think you should try a mild cleanser and a product with a low benzoyl peroxide concentration. Maybe Neutrogena line. Also you can order Proactiv....it helped my daughters acne considerably. Sounds like it CAN be allergic reactions as well. Avoid those three and see what happens. Everyone's skin changes as we get older and maybe you're under more stress than you realize.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Penny, How do you like Bare Minerals? I have extremely sensitive skin and am still waiting to be free of mild breakouts as an adult. I hate it!! I was just thinking about purchasing Bare Minerals and saw your post. > > > > My face is breaking out into blemishes ALL OVER! I've narrowed it > > down to two possibilities.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Thanks, everyone. While I haven't ruled out food-related stuff, I'm now accepting that Kay is probably out for me for a time, maybe I'll lose my sensitivity. I hate, it, I LOVE MK and was a consultant for a while, always planned on signing back up when the girls start wearing makeup to help with the cost. <sigh> I called my aunt who has allergies out the wazzoo, she told me Clinique works for her, but she just had a face lift and the plastic surgeon (in Nashville who she researched, so probably does the country music people there) told her that Lancome has the best skin care line. Thought that was an interesting nugget from a plastic surgeon. Made me wonder how Loreal compares, it's made by the same company last I knew. Thanks again, Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
