Major break out

[Erin18 143]

My face is really broke out is it from worrying? Or change in diet? What kind of face stuff is the best like neutragena or clean and clear?

I've found it depends on the type of skin you have. I've tried just about EVERYTHING throughout the years. Since your skin is probably more dry now try to find something that won't dry you out to the extreme, that will just cause more irritation, thus more breakouts.

I use Avon's clearskin professional kit now.

For once, something I can REALLY help with! I have had the same issue. I was told it's because fat cells hold onto the toxins. As we lose weight, we lose the fat cells, which release the toxins.

There is this stuff at wal-mart called Acne Free. It's a kit like Proactive but works way better than proactive (as long as you keep up with it). It's 20 bucks and worth every penny. My face is clearing up! I use clean & clear to wash my makeup off then I use the Acne Free system. Using just regular face wash wasn't cutting it.

Also, there's something called Spot Treatment in a little silver and purple tube. I put that on my breakouts as soon as I notice them. It's from clean & clear. Works wonders! Dries out those nasty zits.

Wonderful!! A nasty possible side effect I wasn't aware of!! I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I think if you can try to get enough Water in, that will help in sort of rinsing the toxins out of your body. That's not a scientific description of the process at all, but you get the idea. If you can, try upping your water intake.

I would love to say that's the case, but I drink about 5 33oz bottles of smart Water a day....the amount of water didn't help :frown:

I second that! I have used it for a month my skin looked amazing (plus the Water of course). I went about 2 weeks without it and you can play connect the dots on my face. After 3 days of being back - its cleard. and the Spot Treatment is awesome! totaly works.

On the flip side, if you OVER WASH your skin to make the break out disappear, you will actually make it worse. Your skin will fight like crazy to make new oil to compensate for being washed too often. The best rule I was given for decent skin is to wash your face when you get up, wash your face before you go to bed, and leave it alone in between... except for maybe during the summer when you get all sweaty and a third wash during the day is needed to make you feel human.

Weight loss also tends to make your hormones go crazy. I didnt notice breakouts so much, being over 40, but I had months of truly awful PMT, heavy periods etc, so much so that I thought I was either starting an early menopause or something was really wrong. But it all evened out again.

So dont be too surprised if you notice these sorts of symptoms as well.

i cant drink a full glass of Water in an hour, im always getting a new glass (these are tall glasses) once school starts ill be having water bottles for school during the day. but yeah, it could be why. i only wash my face once and thats at night, sometimes i do it twice a day. i use clean and clear oil-free continuous control acne wash and it doesnt seem to be helping. my acne started getting worse at week 3 probably, i wanna try the acne free, i looked it up and a lot of people like it
