Recently a few of my good friends have been reaching out to me about skin issues. As many of you know I battled severe acne for all of 2012. If you didn't know or "notice" then you'll enjoy the pictures below. I have had acne since I can remember, but nothing like this. This covered my face, neck, chest & back. Sexy, I know... And for you lucky people without skin issues, let me tell you, it is DEpressing! Most of my issues were hormonal from my 18 week pregnancy & then severe depression following. But regardless of why acne attacks your skin, this routine works! Over the years I have tried every face wash you can buy over the counter. Proactive did nothing. Dermalogica made it worse. And that stuff was expensive! I even used several gels prescribed from doctors. ALL of them increased my breakouts. I have never found anything that can compare to these products. And they're reasonably priced! Sounds to good to be true but I am living proof that it works.
Rhonda Allison Beta Green Tea Cleanser - This stuff is UNbelievable! The product title will link you to the site that will provide more information on the products, but this particular cleanser is for acne. I personally have combination-oily skin. I saw results within the first week. You can purchase a travel/trial size, like the one pictured, for only $12. That size lasted me about 3 weeks. Just long enough to know that I had to have more! The standard size goes for $34 on Amazon. I would pay double for it if I had to. It lasts forever! I buy mine at Maribou hair salon in Folsom, Ca.
Bare Escentuals Matte Foundation - Old news right? Except that I have never ever had one break out from this stuff! I could sleep in it if I had to & never regret it. I used MAC for a while simply because I LOVE MAC products. But holy cow their face makeup sucks! It clogs pores instantly. I know some lucky women can use it, but I am not one of them. This cover up is only $27 and lasts forever! I will never use anything else.
Clindamycin Phosphate & Benzoyl Peroxide Gel- So this one you can only get with a prescription. BUT it is the best one I have ever been prescribed. And it was the first one we started with at my first appointment. It is a white cream/gel that you can apply up to twice a day. I only use it once before bed. When I wake up, my face looks incredible. This little container only last for 3 months before it expires. Scary for me, our insurance switched to Kaiser so I will have to ask my new Kaiser doctor to prescribe it to me. Seems like a pain in the butt, but if you're struggling with your skin, it doesn't hurt to ask your doctor about it.
Now...The moment you've been waiting for...

I love the Rhonda Allison line as well!! My Esthetician gave me a great price on a start up set and it was amazing! The mask is great too for spot treatments! She also gave me a free bottle of nerium AD as a wedding gift and that stuff is amazing too! U put it on after u wash ur face while its still damp and sleep in it. It's safe to use during pregnancy as well. Anyway, I saw u just started following me so I wanted to check out ur blog as well! Btw, ur skin is Beautiful!
