Been awhile...

But if you followed me from www.TheFitChick.com then you know I one-up-ed my yoga practice by taking yoga teacher certification last, and this, month.

I was a bit nervous about what would happen to my skin during this time; I'd be indulging in yoga practice all day with little time, if any some days, to shower & wash up. Remarkably, my skin faired well. Better than I expected. I was even told that I glowed.
Must be that yoga.

Must be something b/c the week I was done, I headed over to my derm's for a glycolic peel. 50%. (I go as high as 70%.) The results to my face area were pretty nice, I'd say. But I also had it done to my decolette and my neck. About 2 days later, if that, I started noting breakouts on my upper neck and underneath my jaw. Then it spread. Then it was just ridiculous.
I concentrated the Dermawand and also the Tanda light on this area. I "alcohol-ed" and peroxided. I used my regular zit zappers: sulfur, BP, tea tree oil...nothing.
And that's what worked-nothing. Or I should say, nothing worked.

My sebaceous cysts on my face (like a pore turned inside out) were zapped and burned by my PS a few months back. The pinkish areas have healed and resolved and unfortunately, the bumps are still there.

Right now I'm using my LRP face wash most mornings except for 2x/week when I use MB Glycolic foaming wash. At night and post-workout, I use Clean & Clear which does have "triclosan" as its anti-bacterial, anti-zit remedy. There is a controversy regarding its use...
