Thanks, missboobshirt. The probiotic seems to do fine...? Not sure, as I've never had gut problems. I'm honestly just taking it because it's supposed to be good for you and some people with acne have had skin improvements by taking them. The Nature's Bounty is definitely nice and cheap! Especially when you've got a great local grocery store like mine that regularly has 2 for the price of 1 sales on their supplements.

Ah, someone who understands my acne woes! Glad you found the answer for yours.

I don't tone my skin, but I moisturize the living daylights out of it because I live somewhere that stays cool/cold most of the year and if I don't moisturize properly, it gets so dry that it goes all crinkly. Not a good look! When my skin was the nicest, I was on Accutane, but unfortunately my acne came back about a year after I was off of it. So I started just splashing my face with water in the mornings followed by a serum and sunscreen, and at night I cleansed and moisturized. My skin was so nice and glowy and the acne went away. But the serum got discontinued and I was reading that the soap I was using thins your skin! I'm going to give it another try, though, because it seriously helped both my acne and my dark marks. I'll just limit use to a few times a week.

I really hate makeup, to be honest. I just use a bit of concealer and bb cream under my eyes and some tinted lip balm and that's it. I feel like my money needs to be getting used for other things, you know?

I will check out First Aid Beauty and DHC. I've heard of their cleansing oil. I drink at least 64 ounces of water a day, usually more. Just ask my bladder. I use pure, raw shea butter as my oil (shockingly, it doesn't make me break out). Someone said shea butter got rid of their dark circles, so it helps with discoloration. I need all the help I can get with that!
