Now that the acne is under control. . .

[inkysphinx]

I have finally controlled my acne! I do a modified Acne Cure routine (Neutrogena Deep Clean to wash; benzoyl peroxide on occasion; moisturizer) and take vitamins. But I need some advie on improving the texture of my skin. I want my face to be as smooth as the rest of the skin on my body!

I tried glycolic acid, but my skin actually felt rougher?? And my skin was super oily when I woke up in the morning. I'm considering the Obagi regimen, but it's a big deal, and I don't want to do it, if there's something else out there. You ladies helped me with the acne, so let's do it again! http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I definitely agree with the water--Also, try a vitamin c serum. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

what does the vitamin C do?

Thanks ladies! Supergirl, can the Vita C serum be found in CVS or Walmart?

I also agree about the water and St.Ives has a product called essential moisturizer. It has my face be more smoother and firmer as well.

Facial steaming works wonders! My skin has cleared really well, and the steaming helps to bring the impurities out and helps skin become more even tone. I bought a facial steamer from TARGET about 6 months ago (for like $9) and I promise you,...I usually only get about 5-6 hours of sleep a night, so on the nights when I get even LESS, the next morning my face is all haggard and blotchy looking, really dull. So then I steam my face (w/ the towel over my head) for about 10-15 minutes and it makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE!! http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
