Hey H! I used to go to the dermotologist for my skin, but the scrubs were painful, and the peels made my skin even worse! I had the usual reactions to the antibiotics, and to make it worse my skin was so photosensitive as a result I got sun poisoning just driving my car to work!
Instead, I started going to get facials, and they really cleared up my skin and were much nicer than those nightly scrubs. Now I go about once a month and get pampered with a facial. They do extraction too, and the proceedure leaves my face looking great for weeks.
No doubt, hormones play a huge part! I changed my makeup to one that dries to a powder, so my face won't have that oily nasty stuff on it all day. It's been a complection saver! I use loreal mattique, which can be hard to find, but is worth it in my book.
