Hormonal acne....

[Traveller]

Traveller, I think that that with me, a regimen like you describe would dry my skin up and clear up the spots but then my skin would make more oil to compensate. Maybe try a thicker moisturiser once they're dry? I definitely don't have the answers though!! If someone discovers it let me know!

I was worried about that, , I've never risked the harshness of soap on my face before, but I use a normal moisturiser during the day so maybe that's helping. My skin doesn't feel dry but I guess time will tell if it's going to produce more oil to compensate for the soap.

I'm having issues with my skin too. One thing I've noticed is that it's much dryer than it used to be but I still get the breakouts just before AF. I've gotten very strict with my skin care routine and brought some good skin care stuff and it has helped with the dryness. I'm beginning to think the breakouts are diet related so I might quit coffee when the weather is warmer and see if that helps too.
