Should I Only Treat This Area (Picture Included)?

Question

I recently bought proactiv. In this picture http://team.shockonline.com/scott/breakout.jpg you will see the outline where I breakout, my upper cheeks, forehead do not break out at all. Should I only treat this area?

Answer 1

Hey Botkins,

I don't know if it is a Proactiv thing, but I have noticed that if I fail to treat an area that HAS HAD acne, that I then suffer a breakout.

I would use the Scrub on your entire face and any place else that you have seen acne.

I use the Toner on the area's that I used the Scrub on.

I ONLY then use the repair on the areas that are subject to CURRENT breakouts.

I only use the mask on the oily area's and the current acne areas.

I am not the best advert. for Proactive. I don't always use it twice a day and I forget to use the Mask ALL THE TIME!
I also forget to drink the right amount of water nearly every day! (Water is very important -- it makes the oil on your face clog less, because your body is able to sweat more fluids because you are replenishing it).

Hope you have luck!

Answer 2

Yeah, just treat that area.

If you're worried about it breaking out elsewhere on your face, then why wouldn't it break out every where - you don't have to treat your whole body.

Answer 3

yeah, don't fix what is not broken cuz it might break out in the process,....it is impairative that you treat only where it is needed.
