Noxzema Products

I don't think I have Rosacea...it isn't that bad! But I have been to a dermatologist before...and even stuff they gave me didn't help. During our last appointment (years ago) he did say they would put me on a birth control pill if whatever he gave me didn't work. But I never went back after that. My mom said she wants me to go back and have them right me a prescription for some...but I don't want them to charge me just to write out a prescription and then I have to go buy pills...

If it's hormones, then you need to go to a gynecologist or at least have the derm. in touch with your gyn. They must do a series of tests to determine what it is or they can mess you up if they give you a pill, so be careful. Rosacea isn't always all that bad, it starts out as almost nothing, but if not treated properly can get bad. Tell whoever you see that you've tried everything and nothing works. You want either samples or 1 week worth or whatever time period is the usual period for it to start working. Tell the Dr. you're tired of throwing money away. I've had pills or topicals work in three days when correct and didn't work or made things worse even after 2 weeks. My Doctors have no problems giving me samples. I get a sample and a prescription. If the sample works, I get the prescription filled. If they don't have any samples (like they gave them all away), then they will give me a small prescription. Or I've gone to the Pharmisist and said, "Look, I only want enough to see if this works" and they will often only part fill and note "we owe ________ x # more pills." Look at it this way, if they find why you have the skin problem and fix it, it's cheaper than trying product after product, getting no where and probably even making things worse. Another possibility is a naturopathic dr. They have all natural products like teas and skin creams, esp. ones that use applied kinestology or muscle balancing. They can test your muscles with the meds and see if they will help you before you even take them. If you muscles go week or don't change then the meds will harm or do nothing. But if your muscles go strong, then the meds will help you. You can also learn how to do it and so can your friends and family. Then you can use muscle balance testing for best foods and all kinds of stuff for you even what clothing materials could be causing allergies, etc.

Yes I wash myself before I go to bed, and when I wake up. And sometimes if I ever feel really gross or sweaty during the day I will wash my face once then. And yes I wear makeup. I use the Bare Minerals. It's suppose to be good for your face, and I like how it looks...sometimes. Sometimes I feel so bad that it doesn't seem to help. I admit that I am bad about cleaning my makeup brushes...what's the best way to do that? Thanks for all the tips and info!
