Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SCA, Looking for some advice on things I could try to clear up the cystic acne I get consistently on my forehead, temples, and chin. I keep having people tell me to try Acutane, but the DH and I are trying to conceive, and it causes terrible birth defects.I'm 27 and have been struggling with cystic flare ups probably since I was 20 - never really had acne as a teenager but it just keeps getting worse with age. I'd consider my skin to be normal to dry, certainly not oily. The acne I have never really white heads; it just becomes a huge red swollen lump that will either a) go away after a month only to be shortly followed by two more or; b) the swelling will go down, but the red will stay and I'll have a permanent scar there, even if I don't ever pick at it - trust me, 7 years of this and I've learned better than to try to pop them or anything. It seems to be purely hormonal or possibly diet related?My current regimen is pretty simple: CeraVe Foaming cleanser and Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light to moisturize. I use Ole Henriksen's Walnut Complexion Scrub every couple of days to exfoliate.I've done more intensive regimens in the past using AHAs and BPs, but that only ever seemed to cause my skin to flake and peel over the cystic acne, but never seemed to effect it. Super attractive, I know. I haven't been to a dermatologist since I figured they'd just suggest the retinoids too, but that's on my to do list if these flare ups don't calm down soon.Do you guys have any suggestions?
