Re:liss

I'm using an OTC cream with prgeterone in it and OTC pill with plant derived harmones.Got a pap lately{I'm post meno}but fought acne{mostly cystic}all my life unless on the BCP.She advised me not to take harmones if I could stand the hot flashes and stuff and I told her I had already decieded I wouldn't and what I was doing and she said that it seemed a good choice.I still get a cystic every once in a while but it just seems to be my lot in life.When I get a bad episode it seens to usually come when I'v had a lot of stress in my life.I have to wear makeup but you can get one that is oil free and non-cometogenic but it doesn't cover very well but beats nothing.Be sure to remove all your makeup at night.Noflush has really good advice about betonite{as well as everyone else}and I read on here about Queen Helen's Mint Julip mask and got it at WalMart and it turned out it has bentinoite and and zice in it.I got worse for a while because it was really pulling out blackeads and stuff but after a using a tube it is MUCH better.Anything that works on a somewhat permanate level will make it worse at first.I think most pp here would agree.Let us know if your having any luck for all of us are here because we know the agony of acne.After all,it's on u'r face,you can't hide it.We all love you and will pray.Dot.
