Oily skin and acne post-op
Anyone else?
I have only worn makeup about five days total since my surgery (7 weeks ago), but my skin is so oily and I'm breaking out. I use proactiv but it doesn't seem to helping much.
Ugh.

I wish I could tell you it gets better, but mine is still much oilier 6 months later. I think it's the huge hormonal imbalance of it all. Apparently, a hysterectomy makes your skin think it's 14 years old again!! LOL

Hey Jess... Yep, me too. I had oily skin to start with, but it is worse now. I keep having little break outs as well. Nothing horrible, but irritating! Who wants teenage skin again??? lol Why couldn't we get the skin of our 20's... I'd take that, for sure!

Yes, I read that. They will end up trading him. They have been talking to a lot teams. And I'm GLAD that he won't be with the Packers anymore. He should have stayed retired and kept to his word instead of flip-flopping. He thinks because he is Brett Favre he should get to do whatever he wants. And that makes me sad. His legacy is tarnished and irrepairable. (to most fans I think anyways). Sigh.
I hope without him the Pack has a GREAT season!

Issues with acne a bit when I was in my late 30s, but straightened it out, UNTIL NOW LOL!!!

(sorry....off topic again)
I know, Jess. It's so hard to watch Favre like this. We even named our second son after him!! But the bottom line for me is that I don't care WHO our quarterback is as long as we win games!!!!

I know, it's a tough sitch all around. I just took him at his word when he "formally" retired and cried all those tears.
And if we lose, Pack fans are still the best fans in the football fans in the world who will always love our team!!

LOL You cheeseheads;-)
You know what I have? Oily hair! Man is it annoying. It's just like in high school. I had pretty good skin. I was lucky with the zits, but I HAVE reverted back on the hair...oily hair, but itchy dry scalp.
I don't wear much make up either. I never took to it as a youngun, and when I wear it now it's for special events, etc. I know, it's so not feminine. My daughter is 14 and she does a fab job of putting on her eye stuff and what not. I think I look like a doofus either way.
Gosh, I hope I don't get acne NOW! Hubby has had problems all his life. I got one little breakout, that I think was caused by the O2 nasal thing in the hospital that I had to wear an extra day...he thought it was so funny that I was mad about it.
