Re: acne, facial hair, sagging body...am suicidal.. help

I have been using Aubrey organics SeaWare cleanser for dry skin, mostly because it removes my eye makeup without bothering my eyes. And for about two weeks, I have been using Neutrogena Clear Pore cleanser/mask ,and Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask. I have had pretty good luck with these, especially the Queen Helene mask, but I was using a moisturizer with MSM that turned out to be causing zits during this same time period. I have stopped using it and hope that the other two products will work even better. I have a dillema because my skin peels terribly with each zit spot. So I have to be careful with drying products, and need to moisturize also. I use both products once or twice a week to prevent too much drying. Another product that worked for me was Proactiv. It dried me out too much , but the zits were gone for a few weeks! They have a website, too.

I can't say for sure about makeup, except that Burt's Bees is natural and doesn't seem to cause braakouts, but the company told me they don't do animal testing, so they can't guarantee it won't cause acne. More recently I have been using a Loreal makeup because it covers better, and states it will not cause acne. I hope to get back to more natural options when my skin is more under control.

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better! Everyone here can understand your anguish, and hopefully we can all find a cure together!
