My skin is usually pretty good and lately I've been breaking out. It's driving me nuts. Maybe it's the change in season (dry air?). UGH! And right around the holidays when I have to see tons of people. Just needed to vent...
It's probably a combination of the dry air and stress. I'm imagining you're under more stress than usual w/the holidays and everything? Trust me, this happened to me before too. I finally just went to the dermatologist, because it stressed me out more! It's been clear ever since. Use some over the counter meds and I say if it doesn't clear up, go see a dermatologist - it can't hurt. Good luck!
I would seriously invest in a facial...they work wonders!
Also, are you making sure to moisturize? I have oily skin and I rarely use a moisturizer. But my facialist pointed out that not using one is making my skin even oilier with dryer patches. An oil-free facial lotion is always a good thing.
I speak from experience, my skin goes absolutely crazy this time of year!
