i take care of my skin and for the most part, it's pretty good. i use serums and moisturizers religiously; i exfoliate, i do a masque once or twice a week. i wear sunscreen every day. and still i get breakouts. and let me tell you, i resent it. i have to admit, they aren't the worst breakouts in the world, but they are to me. sometimes it will be in a certain spot or it's just one of those under the skin monsters. and i've tried everything you can imagine to get rid of them quickly. so far, the only thing that works on every kind of pimple is the queen helene mint julep mask. i don't use this all over my face because it's pretty drying--just in the spots where i want something to go away. i put it on overnight and the next morning, it's pretty much gone. voila! just like that. granted, i end up going to bed with freakish green spots all over my face, like an abstract version of the chicken pox, but it's pretty miraculous. if it's a really bad scenario, i have to dab it on 2 consecutive nights. and the best part? it's an absolute bargain--you can find it on the shelf of most drugstores for like $4.
