Is it possible for face cleansing products to cause breakouts?

Question by thaDub: Is it possible for face cleansing products to cause breakouts?
For the most part, I have very good skin. I’ve never had to do anything to my skin other than just clean it in the shower. I get the occasional pimple but nothing too serious. Every once in a while I use face cleaning products for a couple weeks or so (I use Clearasil face wash and Clean and Clear blackhead scrubbing pads).

Every single time I use these products for a week at a time or more, I get tons of small pimples on my face. Is it possible that these prducts could be making me break out? I dont have oily skin and they are oil-free.

The scrubbing pads may be too harsh for your skin. If your skin clears without using those products, I would look towards allergy to the product, or the bacteria that may get trapped on the scrubbing pads.

Will birth control pills cause oily skin?

Question by Jennifer: Will birth control pills cause oily skin?
I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had oily skin. I started Norinyhl (sp?) exactly one week ago, and the last three days, I’ve noticed my skin is oily as fuck! I just showered and washed my face too! It’s disgusting! What can I do to get rid of this problem?

Well I’d definitely tell your doctor. Perhaps there is a correlation, and they can switch you to something else. In the mean time…here’s my oily skin regimen.

Try some African black soap, I got mine from Amazon. Then use witch hazel toner, and jojoba oil to moisturize, just two drops will do your whole face. 
For makeup,  I use the Valley Girl foundation from L.A. Minerals, and I put their oil control powder over it. My skin is like perfectly clear since I started using this combination of products 😉
