Acne on my cheeks/Clinique
I was wondering why I break out on just my
cheeks. Of course I get a pimple here or there on my chin or nose, but that
lasts for like 2 or 3 days. But the ones on my cheeks don't go away!
Right now I am trying Clinique skin care and was wondering if anyone used this
and what they thought.
-I've used nearly every skincare product made by Clinique with the
exception of the heavier facial moisturizers. I found the mildest of
the 3-step regimen to most successful in the long term, switching to the
regular strength 3-step in summer when my skin acts up the most. I
tried a couple of the strongest toner/astringents and they darn near
peeled my face off. The first 2 are much better.
I don't use the 3-step program any more, but currently have the tubes of
Wash-Off Gel Cleanser and the Creamy Foaming Cleanser. The Gel is good
for routine washing except for when my skin is very dry, and then of
course I use the creamy cleanser in place of that. hth, kat
-No one really knows why people get acne on certain parts of their faces
and not others. I think just about everybody gets it on certain places
more than others. It could be that you rest your hands on your cheeks
sometimes, that could definitely be the problem. Make sure if you do
that that you stop. Also just don't let it come in contact with any
irritating clothing, or anything else that could cause acne. I'm very
careful that nothing touches my face during the day. Don't know about
the clinique, I've never tried it myself.
