Not only does my face constantly get acne (despite going to the dermatologist every few months!), I also have eczema.

However, it really calms down whenever i go swimming a few days in a row, something about chlorine seems to help (o_o)<br /><br />Also, I use a clarins cleanser and toner now and it also helps. I'm usually happy with my skin as it only as the odd zit now and then. I just wish that those would vanish forever too.Reader Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382164912838056388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-66528147350187303102009-04-26T14:04:00.000-05:002009-04-26T14:04:00.000-05:00Kristi - When I eat dairy, I still get zits too. ...Kristi - When I eat dairy, I still get zits too.

I'm really pale, like at school all of the gingers were seeing who was palest by comparing their arms (after their summer tans) and I was paler than all of them.

Then in the morning it's a layer of Oil of Olay moisturizer for sensitive skin with sunscreen.<br /><br />And I always get pimples right before something big because I can't help stressing a little about it.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.com
