MainMan2230 answered Monday January 30 2006, 3:58 pm: ok first off if you know you break out around your period you should avoid fatty foods and sodas during that time. Also for a skin cleanser my dermotologist recommends cetaphil. you can find cetaphil at most drug stores. I wouldnt use there moistorizer though I find it to be alil oily. A good mostorizer I found is Johnson and Johnson's baby lotion in the pink bottle. The most important thing is to eat healthier and make sure to wash your face in the morning and night also any other times it may need it and dry it by using a soft hand towel and pat dry it dont rub it or anything that may cause irritation to the skin.

Example, the only makeup I wear is on and around my eyes. I don't use foundation or powder or anything. My face can get oily - I wash it at night and when I wake up. Because I know my face can get oily, I use moisturizer without oil or grease or whatever in it. (Clinique "different moisturizing gel" works wonders, even my boyfriend likes it, lol).
I really think the less crap you put on your face the better - I barely use anything and I almost never break out. If I break out, I make sure to wash that area in particular, and occasionally use a clarifying "lotion" (also Clinique).
I don't have any classic remedies for clearing up pimples or whatever - the best thing to do is to just keep your skin clean. I hear, though, toothpaste helps dry them out/clear them up quickly, etc.
