Adult Acne - my little secret

I have a little secret. Well, depending on the time of the month it isn’t really a secret. I’m talking about adult acne. My acne flares up when I am under stress (like now) and during my normal hormonal fluctuations every month. At the end of last year and early this year it started to get worse and I finally decided to do something about it early in March. The reason why I’ve been hesitant about treating my acne is because I use Retin-A. The results are wonderful but it is not an overnight process. Things get worse before they get better. And right now? Well, let’s just say things are NOT better. It will take me probably about 6 weeks total for the breaking out to stop.



And I have to admit that the poor dietary choices I’ve been making are not helping things along. I am extremely happy that I’ve been given the opportunity to try out the Olay Pro-X advanced cleaning system because the brush helps get rid of the pesky dry skin that occurs when I’m treating my acne. At $29.99 it is a good alternative to the more expensive models that run anywhere from $100-200 dollars. Here is my video so you can see the Pro-X in action.








Overall I have to say the Pro-X has been helpful in getting rid of the dry skin and removing my makeup. Yes, I continue to wear makeup, I know I shouldn’t but I just can’t take my face right now.  I’ll give you another report on the state of my skin a month from now. I figure by that time I’ll have my diet in check and my face will be acclimated to the medication. And in the meantime, if you are looking for a good cleansing system for your face and don’t have $100 to spare, you might like the Pro-X. I know that I do!

Disclosure: I am a Walmart mom and was provided with the Pro-X and compensated for my time to make the video. All opinions are my own and unfortunately, the acne is too!
