Well, I had intended on laying off the Differin for a month, but after about 5 days I started breaking out like crazy. So I’m using the Differin again and my regular liquid cleanser (Dove for sensitive skin).

I have changed a couple of things though. Instead of a commercial moisturizer at night I’m still using the Jojoba oil mixed with lavender. That seems to work very well at keeping the flakies at bay but hasn’t broke me out. I mix a couple of drops of the Jojoba with a couple of drops of water and put that on after the Differin has dried completely. It absorbs very well and after a few minutes I’m not shiney at all. Also I’m washing my face with honey durning my morning shower. Weird, I know. But it seems to be working.

I’m also mixing in about 2 teaspoons of honey in my conditioner and putting that in my hair every morning. I have fairly wavy hair and it’s been looking better that it has all winter (more curly, less frizzy).

I discontinued using the Revlon Colorstay foundation and am trying Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. I read some horror stories on Makeup Alley but also a lot of positive comments. It doesn’t seem to make me too shiney or break me out (like some people complained about).
