    Smiley Skin care!

    For a couple months now i've been using Dermalogica skin care products on my face. I have a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer that i use twice a day, i also have this overnight treatment stuff for breakout spots. They seem to work sort of ok, but I would be up for trying something else if anyone has any awesome things to say about any other products!

    Also i need to use something on my back, i have really really long hair and i struggle with breakouts on my back i think because of it =(

    Caudalie has always worked excessively well for me, especially the Purifying Concentrate. It's an oil you put on before bed, and it does a very good job of preventing additional blackheads.

    For a good, hardcore acne treatment, I actually recommend Mario Badescu. They're relatively inexpensive, the products last FOREVER, and they work quickly. They have products both for prevention and treatment.

    Also, make sure you change your pillowcase frequently. That causes a ton of breakouts.

    Yes, a lot of time breakouts on the back can be from your hair rubbing against your back. Be sure when you wash your hair that you get the conditioner out really well, that's often a huge culprit. The second is there's so much pollution these days that we get build-up on our hair pretty quick, & when it rubs against the skin that stuff gets transferred & clogs the pores. Try using a deep cleanser or stripper shampoo once in awhile... I actually used it all the time & it works wonders.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    What type of skin do you have? Normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive? Do you have large pores? Suffer from acne (aside from the bacne you mentioned)? If so, what type of acne? Cystic, blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, breakouts from medication/from stress? Any uv damage? Fine lines/deep lines? Different products work for different skin types, it's very hard to recommend a skincare line without evaluating your skin type and your problem areas. If you give me a really good description, I can suggest some products that might work out for you.

    Aside from that, you should also drink plenty of water and try to pass on greasy fast food and junk food. Always make sure to wash your hands before touching your face (on that note, try not to rest your chin in your hands if you're one of those people who do that), make sure your phone is not resting against your mouth/chin area when you talk on it, a ton of bacteria is on it. Making aspirin masks are also extremely affordable and also effective for getting great skin.
