> I used to use clinque's 3 step stuff and my acne didn't get any better. Now, I'm using a much gentler routine, and its getting there.
>>>I'm a big fan of Clinque's toner and moisturizer but lately they don't work. I just bought the Neutrogena three step system. I'm mostly concerned with acne on my chest. It almost looks like an allergic reation of some sort but I'm not sure. I'll try the Neutrogena stuff for a few days and then head to the doc if it gets worse.
> Perhaps your deficient in zinc? I'm going to start taking zinc supplementation to see if it helps any. Do you have white marks on your fingernails?
>>>I haven't noticed any white marks...but I'll keep an eye on it.
> Perhaps it is hormone related? Or has there been a change in envirnmental factors? Sometimes humidity and things like that cause it.
>>>I have no idea if it's hormone related. I do take birth control which should keep my hormones in check. The dry, cold air may be a factor but a have a humidifier inside.
Time will tell...
