    Default Skin Help!!

    Help! So, my skin is usually pretty good except around my time of the month- I've been getting breakouts on my chin and lower jaw, I wash my face+moisturize twice a day, never leave makeup on, etc, tried a few things by neutrogena with nothing helping really. Any suggestions without going to a derm? Agh!

    I used to have that problem, I only ever broke out around my period... but then I started on the pill about a year ago (because I became sexually active and also it lightens/regulates my period) and now I don't have that problem.

    Since your skin problems seem to be hormonal.. I would just really go hog wild on your skin care regiment the week before you're expecting your period. Maybe get Stridex pads or something like that. That way you're getting a head start on your breakouts.

    an often ignored but probably the most important tip..... WATER WATER WATER. i drink tons of water and even more on my period. since i started doin this about a year ago, i NEVER break out anymore, and i used to always break out before i started my water kick. .. .. i prob drink about 12 bottles a day...i buy 24 pack bottled water in bulk, maybe 9 or 10 cases a month. yeah.....that much.

    You would save a ton of money if you just bought a filtered water pitcher like this: http://www.amazon.com/Brita-42378-De.../dp/B00004SU16

    And filled up a water bottle with filtered water throughout the day, so you can still track how much you are drinking. Also, water bottles are one the top causes of pollution, so you would be doing Planet Earth a huge service by just buying a pitcher that filters the water.

    Oh, forgot to add- I am on the pill also, and do drink a lot of water- probably could drink more, but I definitely do drink a lot, especially at work I go through water like a fish! I don't have my period now, and still breaking out which is strange- I did hear that breaking out around your chin/jaw area is hormonal, but I'm already on the pill, and found one that didn't give me breakthrough bleeding =/ I know there's a cleanser brush called clarisonic, super expensive, but i'd definitely get it if it would help- does anyone use that?
