I have acne that just isn't healing. Anything to reccommend?!


Question: I have acne that just isn't healing!. Anything to reccommend!?
Around the beginning of March, my face started to go nuts on me!. I've always had acne prone skin, and would have the occasional breakout!. This however was more than just a spot here or there!. For awhile there, it seemed like everyday there was a new one!

Anyway, the begining of March is when I moved and switched jobs!. So of course my first thought was, "oh, I must just be stressed!." Well, I'm not stressed anymore!. My face has slowed the process of forming new pimples, but the old ones just won't heal!!! When I take off my make-up I cringe when I look in the mirror!.

I live in Boston, where the air tends to be dry in the colder months!. This causes my dry skin to become even drier!. I use netrogeuna oil free moisturizer for combination skin, which helps, but only to a certain extent!.

Also, I started using bare minerals around the end of february!. I was only using it on weekends before that, but I started using it every day!. Could I be having a reaction to it!?
