I wouldn't say I have an acne-prone face, but the zits & pimples I get still bother me. They usually pop up the week after my period ends. By they, I mean 2-6 of them. For some reason they all form on my nose or on the skin right around my nose (including my cheeks a little bit).
Another skin issue I have is shine. Even when my face is zit free, the same problem as before is affected. It doesn't feel or look greasy. It is just....shiny. It bothers me so bad and my friends jokingly tease me about it all the time.
What are some products I can buy or lifestyle changes I can make to decrease or get rid of both of these problems? Thanks in advance!
EasyPeasy answered Sunday September 24 2006, 3:59 pm: You know it's very normal to get pimples around that time of the month. But try a cream for pimples containing Benzoyl Peroxide. Use this cream at night just when you notice a pimple starting to form. Drink plenty of water, exercise and eat healthy around your period, to help prevent zits.
Shine can be a big problem, I would suggest moisturizing. You could try an oil-free moisturizer, which will keep your skin soft, and possibly less shiny. [ EasyPeasy's advice column | Ask EasyPeasy A Question ]
