everytime i eat chocolate i begin to see acne on my face the next day; if i continue to indulge it just keeps getting worse. its worst with dark chocolate and chocolate with nuts such as nutella. i have noticed this happening EVERY time i eat chocolate so why do ‘experts’ keep denying that chocolate causes acne? is it because these studies have been commissioned by the industry itself?

I have both acne treatment and blackhead treatment products.. Should i use be using one right after the other or at different times? Thanks!

Okay. Just to make sure that I’m on the right track with caring for my face.

I don’t get pimples a lot. Maybe 2 times a month.
I use Nutragena Acne Stress prevention and also Nutragena blackhead scrub.

I use both of them every day and they seem to be working fine. I still get occasional breakouts if I forgot to scrub places. (Top of nose, temples, forehead)

The investigation involved 31 patients who had a facial wound. The patients received an injection of Botox or saline within 24 hours after the wound closed.
