Bride breakouts!

You said that you've tried multiple products. These products don't work quickly, it is essential that you stick with one to see the best results.

I use Michael Todd and LOVE it! I was having the same issue as you. I started having horrible breakouts 4-5 months before the wedding. It was weird for me because I never break out, I've never had issues, and I do my beauty routine religiously. I had confidence in my MUA artist, but thankfully, 3 days before the wedding, I woke up and my face was CLEAR! It was so clear and fresh. I don't know what happened, but I hope it works the same for you!

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub with salicylic (sp?) acid. It helps my breakouts a lot!

Okay based on your last post I would try oil cleansing, charcoal, or anything from the First aide beauty line.

I love charcoal. I use it for everything. It whitens teeth, clears pores, and cures food poisoning/hangovers/toxins.

ETA: make sure it is activated charcoal, I got mine from amazon.

@FutureMrsWebb I used to use St Ives Apricot Scrub too and sometimes the green tea but I stopped because after a while my face would start getting itchy and sometimes I felt it too dry

I recently started using natural products, I found on pinterest a face mask and I have seen great results in the first 2 weeks.

sugar, lemon, tea tree oil, and coconut oil

1/2 lemon juice

1 tbsp coconut oil

5 drops tea tree oil

2 tbsp brown sugar

mix them well and apply to dry face as a mask

leave on for about 15-20 min

wash off with warm water

the sugar also helps to exfoliate

I do it at night after I have washed off the makeup (usually with cottonballs and coconut oil)

My face feels as soft as a baby's butt after I wash it off and I have seen my acne as well as blackheads decrease dramatically

Prescription and dermatologist are best.

I use an oil-based cleanser (Clinique take the day off) and Murad moisturizer. Pricey ($100 for the two) but they last forever. I don't get the squeaky-clean feeling I did with harsher cleansers, which stripped my skin of natual oils. But my skin is definitely clean and feels great!

I had the same problem. I never did find something to get rid of it all together on my face, but bought a good face power to cover it. The most non irritating stuff I could find. I also put vitamin E oil on my face first. Aloe seems to calm the breakout a bit as well. When I saw aloe, I mean the juice straight from the plant.

TMI- I had breakouts on my arms that were bleeding hives. I did things to calm the burning and itching, but couldn't get rid of it entirely. 2 things happened that got rid of them. My MOH finally sent me a text telling me she wasn't coming (claimed it was work) so the stress hives started to die down a lot once that whole mess was settled. I was really stressed out over the idea that it was more and more clear she wasn't going to do anything to obtain a dress - by that I mean not giving me measurements, or even deciding what she liked from pictures of things in my own closet. About 10 days before the wedding I went and bought long gloves to just cover the hives. I wanted them anyway, and as soon as the problem was solved, the hives started to go away. By the time I walked down the aisle, they were totally healed.

I need to stop talking about them because every time I do, or when I talk about my MOH, I can feel them coming on lol edit for typo

If you don't have a Clarisonic already, get one. Life changer!!! For me at least
