Facial ointment??

Question

I have always had break outs since my senior year in high school (2012-2013) they usually pop up around the time aunt flow comes, but my face can never catch a damn break! Once af over I try to let that breakout heal and go away but by the time af comes again there are more, and the previous break out hasn't even came close to healing or going away! For my face wash routine I use a gentle soap or dial antibacterial soap, then use acv (apple cider vinegar w/ water) as a toner, then use coconut oil as my moisturizer...but lately my face has been soooo red I don't understand and I don't know what other things I should try?! I have literally tried everything! I tried proactive didn't do shit, went to a fucking dermatologist and he said "well if I knew the cure I'd own my own island hahahaha" 😒 and that I'd probably have this issue until I'm in my 30's, but he gave me an oral medicine and an ointment also didn't do shit

In these pics I just got out of the bath and did my skin care routine just a few minutes ago

Answer

It's hormones. Try going on different birth controls. Also the best thing to do for your face regime is NOTHING. Literally wash your face with a wet face cloth and nothing else. Use a tea tree oil spot treatment on your actual zits but other than that just leave it.

Answer

I started going to the dermatologist about 2 years ago for acne. The creams she prescribed made my face incredibly dry and itchy. I stopped using them and, at the same time, also stopped using any facial products. I would rinse with just water. A couple weeks after that I started using just witch hazel. It's almost like my face went through a detox or something, once I stopped with all the products. I'm still using witch hazel or rinsing with just water. I have very oily skin and that's decreased drastically. I still break out on my period and whenever I put any kind of face makeup on. There are no filters or makeup in either or these photos.

Get you some Formula 10.0.6. Literally changed my life

Answer

It's hormonal. A natural doctor is your best bet, but a lot of people go with birth control instead. I would also consider food allergies as the issue. Dairy and eating a lot of meat with hormones can really screw with your system.

Answer

Try Clinique acne solutions. It works well for me. I use the electric washer too. My face has improved over 80%

Answer

Maybe the oil is clogging your pores? 
Do you have a Lush where you live??

Answer

Clean & clear worked for me . Literally the best thing ever works within two days. I use deep cleanse at night & blackhead scrub in the am . But there which hazel in the form of a gel that has gotten positive reviews. I know for sure 100% pure Aloe Vera gel works ( just buy the plant ) & also using 100% coconut oil . Either of them , just don't use so many remedies at once because you'll never actually know what works . Also drink plenty of water .

Answer

Also, find a new dermatologist if you want to go that route 🙂

Answer

Maybe the Apple cider too strong. Dilute it more.

Answer

I tried ACV and it actually aggravated my skin. I now use a witch hazel toner and it's changed my life. My routine starts with a charcoal bar soap to cleanse, then witch hazel toner to clean and minimize my pores. I make sure the toner is dry before applying my eye cream and serum. For a moisturizer during the day I use Arbonne, but at night I use Vitamin E oil with Jojoba and rose hips. My skin has never been happier and I wish I had discovered this before I got pregnant!
