Okay. So I'm going to go see Beck on Monday, and what happens? I break out worse this week than I ever have before. I have this one pimple that is now starting to go away, but it's pretty big and my chin is breaking out like a mothereffer, so, yeah.

Any ideas? I have VERY little money right now, but... Maybe there's something that you know that helps?

I think this problem has to do with me giving up drinking all the water that I used to, so I've been trying to drink a lot of that.

Anyway, if you have any advice, it's greatly appreciated .

well since you have very little money a zeno acne device or going to the doctor to get a shot in it etc is out of the question i suppose.

there are tons of spot treatments designed with fast action.

clearasil ultra is supposed to give clearer skin in 3 days.. umm i think there is one by neutrogena or something that like clearer skin in 8 hours. clean & clear advantage spot treatment is good.. etc etc

tea tree oil

Get a salicylic acid serum to use as a spot treatment during the day, the one I'd recommend is philosophy On a Clear Day serum, but it's $30 so you might want to go for something drugstore. At night, apply queen helene mint julep masque (it's in drugstores and is quite cheap, and has sulfur, zinc, and kaolin) as a spot treatment, or all over your face if you want. When I get a face full of period acne this is what I do and it makes it clear up better than anything else I've tried.

ooh! i have the stuff needed for htis plan!! so

morning: clean face and apply salicylic acid spot treatment to acne.. then at night i can apply the entire mint julep mask all over my face and sleep with it on? would that dry my skin really bad?
