And you can use tea tree oil on blemishes, but honestly, I don't know how much that would help. </p> <p>I agree with @Silva: about the face wash though-- so little stays on your skin that I bet it wouldn't be an issue. I just haven't needed it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skin#post-520077 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:52:47 +0000 Silva 520077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would check with your doctor about salicylic acid- mine said that in a face wash its fine, because your skin absorbs so little of it. she also approved me to use it as a topical treatment occasionally (on painful zits).<br /> That said, I've recently switched to some products from this company (the silica face wash and cranberry moisturizer): <a href="http://facerealityacneclinic.com/products.php" rel="nofollow">http://facerealityacneclinic.com/products.php</a></p> <p>and its helping quite a bit. Also, try sulfur-based masks- doing one every night drastically cut down on my pimples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skin#post-520071 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:48:15 +0000 blackbird 520071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cetaphil cream!

I have been using Proactiv stuff w/benzoyl peroxide when I get spots...I don't use it often, maybe once a week or so. I believe there are lots of OTC topical meds with that as the main ingredient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skin#post-520004 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:53:31 +0000 Crisark 520004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been dealing with this as well. I'm now 26 weeks along.<br /> I've actually been washing my face with my anti dandruff shampoo as odd as that sounds. But, it works beautifully. I also use Clinique lotion religiously. And will only use that as my face lotion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skin#post-519998 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:50:18 +0000 greenebee 519998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies!</p> <p>So, I am 10 weeks pregnant with our first little one! So exciting! But I have a question for you...</p> <p>I have never had perfectly clear skin, especially in high school -- it was pretty bad. However, I've noticed that since I've had to substitute my regular facewash - Neutrogena - for a natural one with no salicylic acid (acne treatment), my skin has stayed pretty broken out. Much more than usual. I know that it is common for women to have more break-outs in their first trimester due to all the hormones, but I am wondering...have any of you found any facial cleansers, lotions, products that you absolutely love that have no salicylic acid? I currently use 'Yes to Carrots,' which I really like -- but it is not doing the trick for me. Just a curious bee. :) </p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions! </p>
