Skin problems getting worse

by

It seems like every month or so my skin is getting worse. I swear that the medication that I take for my migraines is causing my skin to break out. Ever since I started taking it last summer my skin has been getting worse and worse. I think it’s because the medication stops me from sweating and sweating actually helps wash your skin a little bit …

Anyway … now I’m trying to fix skin problems .. even problems like blackheads on nose and whiteheads etc. I hate them! I keep trying different things but nothing seems to help. I’m starting to think that I’m either going to have to stop taking the medication that’s helped my migraines so much or else see a dermatologist. I’ve got to do something.

Does anyone have any suggestions for skin problems? I feel like I’ve tried just about everything.

Survivor is getting interesting

by

I’m enjoying this season of Survivor (Redemption Island). We taped the show tonight and we’re just watching the final immunity challenge where the group of survivors are competing to put puzzle boards in stairs in 110 F temperatures. I’m hoping that no one has a heart attack!

Wow … Rob isn’t looking good at all is he!

It’s funny, Survivor is one of the few reality shows that I watch, but with every new season it takes me a few shows to get to know each survivor, I almost wish they’d wear name tags or something for the first few days. It would sure make it easier.

So .. do you watch Survivor? Are you excited about watching the last two shows to see who wins?

Having problems with my skin again ..

by

I’ve been having some problems with my skin again. I really shouldn’t since it’s winter and the air is dry, but I’m breaking out a little bit and it’s bothering me.

I think it’s happening because of a medication that I’m taking for my migraines. The medication actually makes me sweat less and while you’d think this would actually help with skin problems it seems to work the opposite way … on my skin anyway!

I recently came across a site located at www.acneskincare.org and I think I’m going to spend some time late this evening checking it out. Maybe I’ll get a few ideas from it that will help my particular situation. Perhaps- in the meantime, some of you will also have some ideas for me too?

Even boys care about their skin

by

A while back I wrote about how my nephew has been having a lot of trouble with acne.

He’s a teenager and he plays hockey … maybe every day. He has NHL dreams and he’s good enough that they might just come true. However all that sweating doesn’t seem to be doing his skin any good .. or it wasn’t a few months ago.

Since I’m a nurse he decided to ask me about what he could do to clear up his skin and I gave him some advice and suggested an acne treatment. He started following some of my suggestions and I’m pleased to say that his skin has really cleared up.

He still has a little bit of acne, but nothing like he used to have. He’s such a handsome boy. I’m so glad that I was able to help him. He’s also more confident now – or seems to be – now that his skin looks better. I think his acne was really getting him down and making him self conscious.

Teenage Acne problems

by

My teenage nephew has really bad acne. I guess it’s just one of those teen year complaints combined with the fact that he plays hockey about five days a week. I’m sure all that sweating doesn’t help a kid with acne problems.

I’ve been looking into various acne treatments for my nephew and I discovered one called skin id. Does anyone have any experience with this product? Does it work?

I’d love to help him out. It won’t be long before summer comes along and I’m sure he’d love to have clear skin again by then.
