I am 43 and still break out like a teen. I don't as much though, because I use anti acne face cream, drink alot of water and steam at least twice a week. I also found that taking a vitamin helps, I guess it boosts the imune system, and my friend told me to never touch my face unless I have washed my hands, she swears there is a certain bacteria that causes acne. I also use products that have alpha hydroxy to keep exfoliation going, it helps keep pores clean.

I have heard a lot of people talking about that Proactive stuff. It supposedly works miracles! 
GOOD BEAUTY PRODUCTS.
Don't use the cheap ####. I've never had acne, but I swear by philosophy's Purity Made Simple - it's the best, and frankly ALL philosophy products are excellent for skin sins. I have pores the size of dinner plates because I smoke, but I love Oxy Cleansing Pads in the black jar because it straightens those bad boys right out.
MAKEUP:
Spend some money and get yourself the Bare Minerals set. I swear to you you'll never go back.

Not using face makeup worked for me when I was younger and troubled with acne. When I realized and finally gave up all the foundation and powder my acne disappeared. Now I only use it occasionally and rarely have problems outside of pregnancy when my face was a minefield!

My face was a pain until I switched from cheap makeup to the bare minerals.. You can go to bed with that makeup on and not wake up with a minefield. My face is clear for the most part now.
Proactive is also awesome.. it's a bit harsh so watch for drying skin and redness, but I'd reccomend that to anyone

Since switching to Bare Minerals, my complexion is the clearest it's ever been in my entire life.

Where do you get bare minerals? Can men use it?

Of course men could use it. It looks very natural. Go to Hair Company in Leonardtown and have them give you a Bare Mineral makeover.

They are in the phone book. Give them a call and explain that you are interested in an introduction to the Bare Minerals foundation. They will hook you up.

I thought everyone was talking about the Bare Minerals that you see advertised on TV. Is it the same product? How much is it?

Yes. The foundation runs around $25.

Thanks, Elaine.
$25 isn't bad at all. I'll have to treat myself and swing by and try it out. Do you use anything other than the foundation? What should I try out as well?
Thanks again!

YW. I use the blush, too. I tried the eye shadow, but it was pretty messy. It's well worth the money. One little jar lasts a couple o' months.
