Author	Topic: puffy skin without my toner and face washes
himeki 05-28-2003 03:28 PM	I thought the acne diet would ELIMINATE swollen, puffy skin? My skin seems as though,without my Neutrogena Oil-Free Cleanser and Lancome face toner, it's puffy and the pores seem like they're harboring new blackheads and whiteheads. Wai, what's happening?
jay_1 05-28-2003 06:11 PM	How long have you been on the diet? Are you following it STRICTLY?
himeki 05-28-2003 07:46 PM	well...it's only been about a couple of days. Do you think this is just negative reactions to going cold turkey on my hygiene habits?
