Preventing/treating body AND facial acne?!


Question: Preventing/treating body AND facial acne?
Okay, so I like to wear scented lotions and stuff but I've noticed that the day after I break out on areas like my chest and face and neck and I'd like to know a good acne treatment that's simple. Something I can get from Walgreens or Target or something, without having to give up the lotions. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance. x

Answers:

You might actually have a mild allergy to some of the ingredients in those products - hence why you get a breakout after using them.

For general acne treatment, you can do anything from taking a low dose contraceptive pill (evens out hormones and reduces pimples), a low does antibiotic (Dr will know which one for acne) or for more hard core zits you can take stuff like Roaccutane.
Short of having prescriptions for any of those, I would go with a mild abrasive scrub - not sure if they have Aapri or any apricot facial scrubs in America.
Ask their staff and see if they can point you to a good exfoliant - for your skin, preferrably a hypoallergenic or similar.
