Breaking out!!

Im almost a month out from surgery and my hormones have went insane lol.  I am experiencing acne like no other.  Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get it back under control?  My face has been excessively oily and broke out.  I cant seem to keep the oils down.  I wa**** several times a day and that still isnt enough.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!

You can try the anti-acne cleansers (Panoxyl worked great for my son), but this will pass as things settle down.

Any type of acne wash should help you out. Not much you can do in preventing them because they are due to hormones but you can limit the breakout size and extremity of it. This won't last but this phase sucks! So does the hair falling out part but it's just your body trying to adjust to everything. It will get better :)

I am 3 months out and my face started breaking out also.  My skin is soft, sticky, and pimples are popping up every where.  I can tell hormones are raging.

And my hair is falling out in handfuls. Hard to feel pretty at the moment. 

Tonight I am doing a hag night.  I use cleansers with 2% salicyic acid.  If you are getting black heads, get the acid with an exfoliator in it.

Don't use rubbing alcohol - that only makes the skin produce more oil. 

This too shall pass.  And I hope it does quickly.

Thanks You Are Right Hard To Feel Pretty With All The ObstacleS But This Will Soon Pass And We CaN Look Back And Laugh!

I broke out too! I would stop washing your face as much it will make your skin produce more oil which you don't want. I would get a good gel or foaming cleanser stay away from creams at the moment. A toner helps as well and if you do a moisturizer stay away from lotions and do gel only. I am a big fan of Clinique three step system I am old school and like the bar but there gel cleanser or foaming facial cleanser is pretty amazing. I also like doing mud face masks they have one at Sally's called a mint eucalyptus mask that cleans really well. If you get oily throughout the day you can use blotting papers. I can't always afford Clinique so I am a fan of clean and clear they have the blotting sheets that are dusted with powder so it absorbs oil and makes your skin soft . I hope that helps can you tell I love an care lol :)
