Makeup & Skincare - Make me a Model


Expert: Miko Choi - 4/25/2009

Question
Ok, my whole family thinks I have a model body and have found a Model Search that they want me to get into. It is in two weeks, and I am not that willing to go. Yes, I am thin (around 118 lbs), 5 foot 9, though I'm only 13, I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and a great figure... But, on the other hand, I have acne on my face and shoulders, also a rash on my chest. I have tried sooooo many things. From things with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, to prescription topical gel and Zinc pills. My latest craze is actually using Hydrogen Peroxide - straight on problem areas. Yes, yes, I shouldn't be using it on my face, but it is the only thing that can do ANYTHING. Yet lately it hasn't done much. WHAT IS THE MOST POWERFUL STUFF??? My skin has NEVER been irritated in my whole life, it is sooo tough, but extremely oily. I also think that my legs are too fat, when I am sitting, they flop out to about 5 inches in width, they also jiggle a lot. PLEASE help!!!! What can I do and use to help make me a model??!!

Answer
Hello Natasha,

Unfortunately, You're going through puberty, hormone levels are high which contributes to your acne condition. I can only recommend that you wash your face twice a day, once in the morning when u wake up and once at night with a medicated face wash. Picking is prohibited when u are trying to maintain a clear complexion. During a breakout, apply a medicated concealer to the spot of trouble. Don't use any abrasive exfoliants( coarse scrubs) rather opt of a scrub with acids as the peeling agent. Scrubbing on active pimples irritates and worsens. When you are sitting, muscles and fat are both flaccid, which makes it soft and therefore squish up. This isn't a big concern, it happens to everyone. For the jiggling, try to do some thigh tone up exercises.
I recommend Dermalogica Medi-bac acne products for you.

Best of luck

Miko
