Oily, acne-prone skincare

1x/week:
Image Skincare Clear Cell Medicated Acne Masque with 5% salicylic acid (leave on face and neck for 30 minutes, then rinse off with cool water, soft washcloth only)

3x/day:

Cleanse:
Skin Script's Blemish Control Cleanser
(2% Salicylic Acid & 2% Glycolic Acid with Tea Tree), leave on face and neck for 10 minutes, then rinse off with cool water, soft washcloth

Exfoliate and remove oils further:
Stridex Sensitive Skin, alcohol-free facial wipes

Protect:
Image Skincare's Daily Defense Matte Moisturizer, SPF 30, for oily skin with 18% zinc oxide

1x/month:
25% salicylic acid peel, no steaming, by professional esthetician (for 12 months). Don't wax, tweeze or use any exfoliating products for 14 days, post-peel. Just switch to Purpose or Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleansers and protect skin with Image Skincare's Daily Defense Matte Moisturizer for oily skin. Wear a wide-brimmed UPF 50+ hat in sun (available at REI).

For a daily sheer foundation, switch to PUR 4-in-1 Mineral Tinted Moisturizer. It doesn't irritate or clog pores, which can exacerbate acne. That's available at Ulta stores.

Vitamin Cottage supplements that may help, if not on prescription medications, including birth control:

Standardized, tablets/pills, 3x/day:
Burdock root
Milk thistle/silymarin
Hepar Sulfur
Garlicin

In Boulder, next to Pearl Street Mall, there's a place called Rebecca's Herbal Apothecary that carries Moroccan Red Clay powder, to mix with pure tea tree oil and witch hazel for an at-home, acne facial. They also have natural tea blends with willow bark, clover blossoms and burdock root for pms, and balancing women's hormones.

If that doesn't help, ask your MD or DO doctor about minocycline antibiotics by mouth, along with clindamycin phosphate topical solution, 1%, facial roll-on by prescription.

Take a daily supplement like Nature's Way Primadophilus Optima for Women, available in refrigerated section of Whole Foods, especially during and for a year following antibiotics.

Avoid eating foods with growth hormones and antibiotics, such as eggs, meats and dairy. UHT dairy is also safest.
