Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been struggling with cystic acne for over two years after a very bad reaction to a generic medication. I was lucky to never have more than a pimple or two on my forehead as a teenager, so I was completely unprepared for this to start happening in my mid 20's! I was miserable and in pain, and was embarrassed to even go to work. Last month, I was finally able to see my PCP and get a prescription for clindamycin and have been using that in combination with ProNexin All-Natural Daily Face Scrub, Stridex red box pads, and Aveeno Clear Complexion cleanser, plus going back on a birth control pill (I had stopped taking them to begin tracking ovulation cycles). The progress has been slow, but my skin finally went through a purge and is starting to turn the corner.I ran out of the Aveeno cleanser last week and stopped by the drugstore to pick up another bottle, but accidentally grabbed the Positively Radiant cleanser instead. I didn't realize it until I was already in the shower, so I used it and went about my routine. In just a few days, the texture of my skin has become much smoother, my remaining cysts have drained, and I can't see any new acne under the surface, except for a few small whiteheads that I've been able to extract easily without flaring up. I haven't needed to use the Stridex pads at all. I'm not sure if my skin needed a gentler cleanser, but this seems to really be working and I wanted to let others know in case any of you have been struggling with something similar. I've been tracking progress with pictures for about 60 days, and will look forward to seeing how much more progress I'll make in another month - will post another update then!
