Before my Wedding I worked with someone who gave me their entire stash of Proactiv saying they were allergic. This stuff worked! Besides the occasional pop-up from stress or wearing a hat (stupid) I had a pretty clear face for all the pre-parties, the Wedding, and all Honeymoon.
During all that time the winning combo for me was Proactiv + Trish McEvoy SPF Oil-Free Lotion + Lancome Teint Idole. Does Trish still make this lotion? And has anyone used the new "light from within" Lancome stuff Teint Miracle?
These days I'm just a mess. I 'm sure it is the pregnancy but I haven't had a real clear face in ages. Or maybe the truth behind a "Pregnancy Glow" is the fact that your face is an oil-slick.
NEVER NEVER NEVER USE
I do love to try new products and everyone suggested Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer...NEVER AGAIN. That stuff is terrible, even the Oil Free. I actually have 3/4 of a tube if anyone wants to buy it. Which is another thing that ticks me off, that was a good $40ish I spent on that stuff and it blew. Is selling half used make-up on Ebay gross?
This Neutrogena seems to be helping and I added Oil of Olay to the mix because besides the blemishes I also need to knock out some wrinkles. And like I said...I'm trying to be cheap.
So...sorry for my morning rant but what are your good combinations? I'm tempted to head to the mall this weekend and pick up the Proactiv/Trish/Lancome trio and hope it works. But I seriously hate dropping $150 on stuff for just my face. My face shouldn't cost that much. I won't even go into the breaking out that is going on around my neck. I pray that is just pregnancy.
Any advice? xoxoxoxo
