It did work for me especially when I’m having acne breakouts. The little
puss ruptures as I steam so that’s a plus and that way it’s easier to lessen
scars. I use essential oils such as tea tree, lemon, and lavender for my
steam and it clears all my blackheads. I guess steaming doesn’t work for
everybody.

I use Body Shop vitamin e gentle facial wash and tea tree freshener, I use
Mary Kay Oil control lotion at night and Nivea Visage moisturizer w/ sun
block during daytime, twice a week I use a hydroxy cleanser to exfoliate

Hi Jennifer, Avon has a new line of products out called PoreFection and they
work really well if you use them all together not sure how well if you just
use a combination of them. My mom sells avon and has sold the line to 2
customers just on my say and results. There is a cleanser,toner,mask,blemish
spot treatmen, and oil control lotion. I have super oily skin and it hasnt
dried mine out so you might want to give it a try if you don’t have an avon
representative just go to www.avon.com and there is a place that you can put
in your address and they will find a rep near you or you can order directly
online.

Hi Dianne,
It works the same as proActive…I suggest you put the
acne treatment (the 2nd step) on once a day…That is
what I did I now I put it on twice a day with no
drying…

My skin is clear now….I am very happy…

changed birth control pills and now I’m breaking out

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

Hi! I’m new here because I’ve only recently started to have problems
with acne.

The reason is that I was put on a higher dosage of birth control pills
because of some other health problems. I’m 25 and had always had
almost perfect skin up until a few months ago. I’m not sure what to
do or what products to use to control my acne. I finally put myself
in the habit of washing my makeup off every night and that’s helped
some but not completely.

Any suggestions on products to try that won’t dry out or irritate my
skin too much?

well I think that it is many things, stress,mismanaged skin,diet,hormones so if
we deal with all these things positively and use a steam……..the results
should show, like I said it is water we need to put in our skin, not
oil…….so steam does work….I have had problems since I turned 12 and now 26
and all of the things above go with good skin, also, it starts on the inside, so
a good detox would help as well, like drinking a half cup of vineager each day
would help with this too, or dandelion tea…….I have researched enough to
know what works for me, and I found that the liver must be healthy , for the
liver controls the skin and what go’s in it….also making sure all the wastes
go through your body the right way,……..so if you have constipation it too
could cause bad skin…….think about it, all that waste is left in our body’s
, so perhaps a laxative would help as well.
the problem is internal……..however how we feel about ourselves can also have
an impact, accept the things we don’t like and treat the things we do like about
ourselves in a positive way , I think this will not only relieve stress but bad

well I do it in the morning, because I have oily skin and it helps it through
the day, but I would try both and see what works for you……..this treatmant
is for oily skin by the way , that is why the strong astringant is in it, if
your skin starts to get irritated leave out the astringent ……..by the way,
this book said that do not use oil……your skin already produces enough, it
needs water……!!! good luck

Thanks for the tips. They seem very helpful. Do you think that this
treatment works better first thing in the morning or right before you
go to bed?

Hi:

Its ok to get an extra wash for your face once a week but not more!
Instead wash your face and hair before you go to bed. Steam opens the
pores and gets rid of old tissue, revealing the new skin. If you
overdo it, you will damage the new skin. Steam and even washing daily
is a superficial way of healing. The real cause, I think, is stress.

Trudi,

How well would you say Acne Free works? I tried ProActiv a few years
ago, and I don’t remember if it worked. All I remember is that it
dried my face out sooo bad. Does Acne Free dry out your face? Have
you any complaints about it?

Danke,
Dianne
