If you’ve hung around here long enough, you know that I’ve been in a pretty constant battle with my skin. I’ve dealt with breakouts, including cystic breakouts, since college graduation. I don’t get it. Aren’t I too old for this crap? Isn’t part of the trade off of working our lives away that we ditch the acne with the braces? Ok, that’s not fair. I never had braces. But you get my point.
Not only is my skin acne prone, it’s super oily. But when I made the transition to Charlotte, I was dealing with a lot of stress and a lot of different outside elements. It would snow one day then be 80 degrees the next. My face was freaking out. I was breaking out and dealing with such dry skin it was painful.
I’ve been on a system of using the Clinique Acne Solutions every morning. I stopped using it twice a day because it wasn’t necessary anymore. I was using some off brand cleanser to remove my makeup then following up with the Clearasil Ultra Acne + Marks Wash & Mask and my clarisonic.
Anyway, I think it was the cleanser that was causing my skin to freak out. When J joined me in Charlotte, he brought a package that Lipton Publicity sent with the Lindi gentle skin care system in it.
Yay for soft skin!!

Your skin looks amazing!! That is so awesome that you found a product that works so well for you!!
Amazing! I'll have to look into this- I've got fairly sensitive as well! Thanks for sharing! -Dorrie @ Bear Den Plantation
My skin is so darn sensitive as well so I'm always down for hearing about gentle products like this! Thanks for the heads up gorgeous girl!
Yay for pretty skin! Your selfie is adorable!
It's so important to take care of your skin and yours looks great!
Your skin looks amazing! The packaging of the product is so cute too!
your skin looks absolutely flawless, yay!! so glad you found something that works.
i never had braces either, my skin used to be pretty bad but has calmed down in the last few years and the only thing i can 100% attribute it to is diet. which i know doesn't help people with worse skin, at all!
I, as a teenager, had oily skin, but now my skin is super dry. The dry climates I've lived in haven't helped, I'm sure, but I know that the second I stepped foot in Florida a few years ago, a giant cystic pimple popped up on my forehead. Also, Missouri was not kind to my skin.
I'm glad that you're finding products that work for you…maybe one day we'll finally "grow up" and our skin will behave.
Your skin looks great! I've been using the Clinique cleanser in the morning, but am looking for something else at night too. I'll have to look into this stuff for sure! Sounds amazing.
You skin looks fabulous!!! Mine is still just as awful as ever. I wonder if this would help mine? I am about to break down and see a derm because it isn't getting any better. I am so happy that you have found products that work for you 🙂
Your skin sounds exactly like mine and I completely agree that NC weather makes it even more of a wreck! I will definitely look into this.
Your skin looks gorgeous! I don't deal with many big breakouts, my skin and I still aren't friends. Instead, I just get small little bumps and clogged pores… which, I'm convinced can be even worse because they're nearly impossible to get rid of! I'm with you, though… I'm ready to be done dealing with these shenanigans.
