hi, i've been visiting this board for years. just wanted to let you know that i started using q.h. mint julep mask, and for two months it has helped the appearance of my skin. i still get zits, but not as many and they don't last as long. and even better is it makes my skin less oily. i'm 24, female, have had bad acne since taking evil birth control in my college years. my skin condition has gone up and down since then, but this has helped make things manageable.
i would usually get about 4-5 large zits around the chin area, forehead, temples, neck and sometimes cheeks. i refuse to wear makeup because i know it makes it worse. but the oiliness was making me feel so grossed out and i knew people were looking at me on the train wondering about my skin ugh it's the worst feeling. but i used this and i swear by it.
i use it when i notice my skin is getting oilier (usually around my period, or when i haven't gotten enough sleep) and it saps it right up. and then i follow up with eucerin moisterizer. moisterizer is very important because this dries your skin up, and if you don't follow up your face will get irritated and more oily.
that's all- thought i'd share.
I also wanted to let you know that it really isn't recommended to do this more than once per week, b/c of the drying it gives. HOWEVER...if you have a bad case of acne, you could try it every other day until your skin clears (or show signs of clearing up) and then every other week. And yes, make sure you get a good moisturizer.
