Oh i forgot to add, fresh aloe vera meat. Plus too much carrot juice will stain and too much buttermilk is antiproductive. River mud is great as long as you can devise a method to sift out the larger sediment. Unless you are using it as a mask and not rubbing the skin with it.

Definitely moisturize right after like the previous poster said. In fact, you should do it while still damp. Not wet...but damp.

I suggest using straight coconut oil if you don't have any allergies to it. It's going to go against your instincts yo use it because it's an oil, and your trying to reduce oil. But like I said before and the previous poster said, if you dry out your skiing too much, your body will only double the effort to male up for the lost oils. Plus coconut oil is anti-bacterial and that is exactly what you want when fighting acne. I use it on my entire body. I no longer use store bought lotions or soaps.

I think if the derm recommended glycerin, I don't think commercial soap is a good idea due to the synthetic ingredients.
They tend to aggravate the acne instead of heal it.

Ok on April first, I could not get to craft store and there are no herbal or pagan stores near here. I did find an herbal / natural health section in a little store. I got a big bar of soap for one dollar U.S. with a glycerin base but it has almond milk, Oatmeal and honey and after only a few days use I have less oil build up without overdrying. Thank you for all the great advice. I hope now that car is paid for ( last payment April first ) I can go next month into Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A. 60 or so miles away and shop at herbal, pagam and craft stores. :-)
