Coming off the pill - problem skin??

Question

I recently came off of the pill (Yasmine) a month ago after being on it for 5 years or so.

I am already getting skin breakouts (pimples)

Does anyone have any tips on how to control this now that im no longer on the pill??

Thanks :)

Answer 1

I just came off of ortho tryciclen...and I feel you...it sucks. I bought 3 different face washes and alternate them like every other day so my skin doesn't get immune to them...it seems to be working! and at night put ZAPZYT or AcneFree all over your face! ProActiv refining mask really works, too. orrr..you could always get back on the pill!

Answer 2

Acne Meds

Answer 3

i use proactive solution. i know some ppl dont like it but it has been great for me. Or make sure you are using a ph balanced facewash. Try dove or if you cant find one ask for help at your local pharmacy. I also use a facewasher or flannel to gently cleanse my face at night to remove the dead skin, instead of using harsh scrubs. If it is a more serous problem go see your gp and they will prescribe you some meds to help it clear up. My sis did and hers is doing a thousand times better! goodluck on your clean skin journey.
