I was in an Earth Day flash mob

Not acne related, but it was so much fun. It was part of a flash mob put on by Flash Mob America, a group that puts on flash mobs all across the country. This particular mob was sponsored by Urthecast, which takes HD video of the earth from space. They had a helicopter and a film crew there filming everything. Have a look if you want!

New makeup application guide added to Regimen instructions

Exposed Acne Treatment — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:29:49 +0000

After speaking with several women with decades of experience with makeup application, and after applying and playing with makeup myself, I have added a makeup guide (click ‘Expand’ when you get to that page) to The Regimen instructions page. My goal is to help acne-prone people apply makeup more safely by reducing irritation. Feel free to take a look and let me know if there are any glaring omissions or changes that you think need to be made.

Thanks.

AHA+ and Acne.org Moisturizer. BFFs.

Exposed Acne Treatment — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:56:02 +0000

- Feel like you want to apply AHA+ but don’t want the full whammy of 10% glycolic acid?

- Feel like you want to apply Acne.org Moisturizer but want to give it a kick of AHA?

- Feel like using AHA+ often but find that it’s too much for every night?

The answer: Mix them together. I do this quite a bit, for all of the above reasons. Because I formulated both products to be compatible, you can mix them together without issue in any ratio you’d like. Just something I wanted to put out there.

SPF update plus what to do in the meantime

Exposed Acne Treatment — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:02:57 +0000

Update: A few of you have been asking for an SPF update. I’m working on getting it feeling just right with ingredients that are uncompromisingly high quality yet within financial reach. The bottom line is that it will come out when all of this comes together but I can’t guarantee when that will be. It may take some time since SPF is quite a tricky brew. I know it’s been a very long time, and it may still be longer. I can promise you one thing–that I am working on it and will let you know the minute it’s done.

In the meantime: A couple of options:

1. Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer with a 5-6 drops of jojoba oil added.

2. If that doesn’t work well enough to take care of flakiness, you can mix equal parts Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer with Acne.org Moisturizer, and then add 5-6 drops of jojoba oil.

3. Another option is Philosophy Hope In A Jar SPF30. I love this stuff but it is zinc based like so it is a flake promoter, much like the Olay. Since I use benzoyl peroxide and need something to combat flakes, I often mix equal parts Philosophy Hope In A Jar SPF30 with Acne.org Moisturizer plus 5-6 drops of jojoba oil. This gives me an SPF of around 15 and keeps me pretty good on flakes. The only downside is that the Philosophy SPF is very expensive (around $35 for 2 ounces). But since I mix it with Acne.org Moisturizer it goes twice as far.

Spot treatment: Someone asked about the spot treatment as well. This project is on the back burner at this point. In the meantime, the AHA+ works so well for spot treating that it is definitely a suitable alternative.
