Any of you battling zits like I am - it is out of hand!! What works for you ladies - any super secret weapon/face wash/skin regimen I don't know about??

I make a scrub with sugar and olive oil ...just mix enough to make a 'paste' and scrub and then use warm water and a face cloth to wash it all off- or do it in the shower but obviously be careful about using too much oil. Then I'll use a cotton pad and a mixture of water, vinegar and oil as a toner.

My face was terrible in the 1st tri but has gotten a lot better in the 2nd. I started off trying to use gentle products like cetaphil or whatever that's called but went back to using Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating face wash & Aveeno daily moisturizer on all areas but my chin. Good luck, hope it gets better for ya!

Treat yourself to a facial.

Hand to god, it helped so much. My skin was AWFUL and now it's completely cleared up.

I haven't found anything that really works for my skin yet. I am horribly allergic to the Benzyl Peroxide... My face swells and gets awful and it seems like my skin changes by the week so I try to wash it as often as I can and hope that it clears up

. Some products work one week and make me horribly oily other weeks. Plus i"m going on vaca soon and going to a drier climate so I knwo that will mess me up too. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Last time around, I had horrible acne and nothing helped, probably because its hormonal.

I used to have horrible acne several years ago but it had finally cleared up to where I would feel comfortable without makeup. A few weeks after I found our I was pregnant by acne starting going crazy again. My face isn't as bad as it was. It seems to have leveled off some, but my lower back is completely broke out. It's so wierd though - it's only on my lower back right along my spine. Nothing seems to be helping it at all. I need some help! Thanks!

OKay - this is gross... but I have only minor acne on my face (I can deal with that) but my upper back... is awful. It's never been a problem for me, and I have NO clue what to do! It's hard since I can hardly reach some areas. Can you get a facial - but for your back? I know that some people struggle with this normally, so there's got to be a way!

I don't know if you can or not, but I have some scrubby face stuff that I use on my back... Clean & Clear's Morning Burst Face Wash. It's more than a little awkward, but it works pretty well.

My trick for keeping my face clearER (there is no clear, LOL) is using the heavy-duty neutrogena face bar and moisturizing with a no-oil moisturizer for sensitive skin. Ones with rice are my favorite, but I can't find any good ones right now, so I'm using the Body Shop's version with Tea Tree Oil. It's pretty darn nice.

I may have to try the facial once I'm getting paid again! Sounds like a good excuse.

I'm in the same boat!!! I used Benzyl Peroxide throughout high school and college, never with any issues. A few years ago I had to break out my Benzyl Peroxide and woke up the next morning with swollen eye lids and cheeks. All I can do is wash my face and wear lots of consealer... :'-( I would really like to find something that works!

The spa I go to offers back facials. Smile

I have simply given up. I thought maybe I was overwashing my face and back, so I backed off, but nothing changed. I figure it is just the old wives tale that girls steal your beauty.
