I have been using the Thermal Fusion Enzyme Masque for about 2 weeks now (not everyday of course!) and my skin is breaking out so badly! I feel like I am revisiting my teen years! I am assuming this is part of the process by getting rid of all the toxins and old yucky stuffthat has been hiding undermy skin but I just want clear skin again. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if I should just keep with it. Also I am considering incorporating the CA line in with the RE9 line, mostly just around "that" time of the month.Can that be done? What products from the CA line would you recommend to go with the RE9 line?


Thanks!

My skin did not react that way when I started with the thermal fusion. I did try to use it 5 days a week & was doing pretty well until the last few weeks! Now, I need to start again.

I'm a new BB, so I've gota lot to learn! However, I did just do the product knowledge section of Arbonne University. When Candace was talking about CA, she did mention that it is a product for people with chronic acne and that someone who breaks out around "that time of month" should probably be using other Arbonne products. That kind of break out is hormonal, and not considered chronic acne. I don't know if that helps you much, but I thought I'd add it to the discussion. smileys/smiley9.gif

Have you tried the premenstrual supplement or prolief?

The PMS supplement is awesome for breakouts, bloating, crankiness...

I will definately try the PMS supplement. smileys/smiley20.gifI was just having a look at my catalogue at the hormone balancing creams and really wanted to get somebut couldn't really figure out the difference. I know there are different herbs in each one but how do you know which is right for you?

I've noticed the Re9 line really clogging my pores. I've started using a non-arbonne product that has tea tree oil and salycilic acid after my toner. Salycilic acid is what fights acne, but it is very drying, so don't forget to moisturize. If it's just around your period and your cycle is pretty predictable, I would substitute the wash and the toner for a salycilic acid product starting about a week before until about the first or second day of your period. But make sure you put moisturizer over it or you will be even nuttier fighting between the dryness and the blemishes. My product says it can cause dryness, but since I use the serum and day creme over it, I don't have that problem at all. Also, I'm going to be switching in products from the basics line as I run out of my Re9 set, and I will probably use the oil-free for a few things to try to clear up my nose and chin. I think there is plenty of room to mix and match with the product line to find just the right balance for you.


BTW, one of the creams is for post menopause and one is for pre menopause. I think the post has estrogen in it or something. I'm not very knowledgable on those yet, so don't quote me here.

The clear advantage line has salycilic acid in it.
