acne

I am happy to report that it looks like I am FINALLY winning my war on acne. I alternate swimming with an OTC salcylic acid acne medicine. On the days I don't swim, I use the medicine; on the days I swim, I don't treat my face. If I swim AND use the medicine, it dries out my skin too much; if I use neither, my skin is too oily. But I think I've found the mix that is "just right".
