Talk to me about break-outs....

Does anyone swear by any particular brand to help control them or get rid of them. I am the type of person who breaks out when I cry, eat greasy foods, or stress which I can completely see the entire week before my wedding. Any tips?

I have a few:

1. Microdermabrasion Facials

2. I use Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask daily

3. Witch Hazel for astringent

My dermatologist is amazing!!! I'm making an app't the week before my wedding for an emergency cortizone shot if I need one!!!

I have 3 friends who struggled for years with bad acne. They all now use pro-active and they look amazing! They swear by it!

I nver had any problems till last year. I go to the derm and get cortisone shots for any major breakouts. Lately I've been having mini breakouts. I am taking ClindaMax, it's a topical lotion and it works wonders. It doesn't dry my skin like everything else.

Proactiv and microdermabrasion (but this should be done about 2 weeks prior to the wedding not closer and you must wear sunscreen!)

Pro-Activ Solution

Me too!

And I alternate my facewash with Clean & Clear foaming facewash, moisturize with either Clean & Clear moisturizer or Clinique.

I use the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion a few times a month and it works well on any red/dark spots and oil control....

I use Proactiv, but, I second Cortizone shots...that stuff makes pimples disappear!Poof! Magic! Im planning to get one a few days before the wedding...cause stress makes me break out.
