Acne affecting bids?

[FSUZeta]

have you tried birth control pills? i have known of several girls who felt that they had severe acne, had tried a myriad of products and prescriptions to no avail, and then tried birth control pills at the suggestion of their doctor and had dramatic results.

Good point. My hormones were so out of wack during my teenage years that I was put on the pill and one bonus was the clear skin that came out of it. Even now if I go off of it I break out like crazy.

All I can say is that I went to dermatologists and had "some" success, but I only really found success with acne when I found myself this Russian esthetician who is AMAZING and she does extractions, etc.

It's hard to say about bids, but if some people are "repulsed" by acne, then it could affect your chances. I feel that it's best not to sugar coat it.

I'm not sure if you've heard of Dermablend (and you probably would not want to wear it every day), but it gives phenomenal coverage to acne, port wine stains (i.e. what Gorbachev had) and can even cover tattoos (like the website shows). I have some scars on my legs and it does a great job of coverage.

LOVE this stuff. The day before my senior prom, I got this horrible v-neck sunburn and, of course, had a strapless dress. It was uncomfortable, but hey, it covered the burn perfectly!

I didn't know about this stuff...I have scars on my legs, too and it would be nice to be able to help make them more subtle for big events. Thanks for posting it!

Be sure you also get the setting powder to put on top of it. The two need to work in tandem.

Thanks...I'm hoping to try it soon. 99% of the time it's not worth the effort to cover them but it would be nice to have the option and I've never found anything that worked.
