It’s nothing as well bad…yet (knocks on wood), certainly not as poor as the significant humdingers I get in some cases along my jawline. These are just bit whiteheads on my chin as well as around the edge of my forehead, as well as a couple of body breakouts on my breast as well as booty.

Yes, girl, booty — specifically, my left butt cheek, if you should know.

Is that TMI? Probably, however it’s not like I’m the very first person (or the last) to get a agonizing pimple on their bum.

Oricum! When Neutrogena as well as Walgreens asked if I was down to switch up my acne-fighting game with their #LetsSolveIt campaign as well as take the quiz at SolveMyAcne.com, I thought, “Good timing!”

I’ve had excellent luck with Neutrogena skin care over the years, as well as I dig Walgreens (I utilized to go there on my breaks everyday when I worked in SF), so I stated “sure!”

Getting back into the swing of things at institution after summertime break is stressful enough. who needs the added tension of a poor breakout? get professional skin care recs with the Neutrogena #LetsSolveIt campaign by taking the Acne-Fighting Quiz at SolveMyAcne.com, as well as feel fabulously positive in clearer skin.

First step: the quiz. as well as it’s not one of those quizzes that they state is only going to take two minutes however ends up taking 20. It truly is just a handful of simple questions.

Ca astfel…

Based on my answers, right here are the four products the quiz suggested for me as well as my combo dry/oily skin:

Oil-Free Acne tension manage Power cream laundry ($8.99): This creamy, oil-free deal with laundry works without stripping or drying the skin. It includes salicylic acid (2%), as well as cucumber as well as eco-friendly tea extracts, to fight breakouts while decreasing redness as well as clearing up oil.

Every morning as well as evening, I washed my deal with with the Acne tension manage Power cream laundry (which smells mildly minty).

Then, best after utilizing the deal with wash, I wiped one of the fast stamina Acne treatment Pads around my face, paying special interest to the bit whiteheads along my jawline as well as around my forehead. At that point, there was typically some leftover product on the pad, so I’d likewise wipe the areas where I was breaking out on my breast (as well as that a person frustrating pimple on my bum).

Step 3: Oil-Free Moisturizer

After utilizing the pad, I completed up my deal with routine by moisturizing my deal with as well as neck with the Oil-Free Moisturizer.

And I did this every morning as well as night before bed after my shower.
