Wow I know this video is old, but I'm going thru the same thing. Stopped taking my BC and my face is thru hell...even started wearing make-up bc I'm so self-conscious. Did your condition get any better?

[MsDanaKay]

@MsJLong27 yes, once I got on some medications from my doc. You should see a dermatologist. Your hormones may be unbalance.

I am going through the same exact thing with my skin. From the first 30 sec. of your video I can see some of the causes of your acne: you keep touching your face and you are producing too much oil, also you are literally attacking your skin with all these products! The simpler the better. I recommend just using a mild skin cleanser with NO acne fighting properties (like Clinique mild cleanser) and use Queen Helene Mint Julep clay mask to spot treat over night to fade scars and dry pimples.

@ayyad13 thanks for your advice!

lol it's funny that u said that about your skin being oily because when I turned on your video u had me crakin lol "Ms. Dana, that's my intro. lol!" Then u said that about your skin because when I turned it on I said dang her nose oily u had me whipping my nose off lol my nose does the same thing lol!

When I come off my BC my skin breaks out bad too. It was so bad that I started getting chemical peels. My skin was extremely oily like hers when I started. The peels DRASTICALLY improved my skin. It lightened up the scars and filled up my "craters" so they weren't as deep and my skin was no longer oily! If I could afford more treatments I would but for now I wash with a mild soap, use Origins Brighter By Nature pads, they are like 30% peels, then some Avon Basics moisturizer.

Touching your face s the first problem second putting your hair around your face is a no no because all the oil in your hair is going on your face and making it worse, second wash your face twice a day with a mild soap like Dove nothing with oil in it, try maybe Spectro Gel I'm not sure if it's available everywhere but it is very effective. Drink lots of water and eat less sugary foods and increase foods like raw veggies like carrots and brocolli and bluberries which help clean out your system.
