Anyway, I will keep you posted as to what he tries next.

I was also reading in a fitness magazine the other day (can't remember which one, I get three of them) and they were talking to a swimming team....they use plain vaseline on their faces before they swim because when some girls started and they were swimming under water all the time, their faces were breaking out. I just don't know about spreading vaseline all over my face...but I have notice that since my daughter has been swimming (she is a water bug and loves to swim under water) her face is WORSE than before! aurgh

I have also bought some old fashion Lye soap because a friend told me it helped her back acne. I use it to wash my face and I have noticed a vast approvement. AND it isn't harsh...for some reason, I was thinking it was a harsh soap...anyway, I have very sensitive skin and this leaves my face feeling nice and clean and soft.

Course, what works for one won't work for others....we can attest to that because we have tried EVERYTHING...OTC to Perscribed.

**We haven't heard of the Persagel, but I am looking for it when we go to town next...can you find it at Wal-Mart or Targert???

My dermatologist suggested covering the back and face with Eucerin cream before showering to protect it from the water.

Where do you get the lye soap?
