You know when you get sick, and sometimes your body produces more heat or a fever to try to kill off germs and bacteria.  Yes, it is a protective mechanism of the body.  I’ve noticed that though it doesn’t often happen, it’s a miserable thing, and there are some people who always have higher body temperatures, and I have to wonder how they honestly do it. 

It’s not just the fact that it’s always hot, and while you can get warm with a blanket, getting cool is significantly harder.  It’s the fact that quite frankly, it’s hot!  Well, that’s stating the obvious.  But also, it seems like whenever it happens, I get the worst acne breakouts.  I mean the heat in my body is obviously creating more sweat, more oils possibly, etc.  So therefore, it’s naturally creating more acne. 

My regular acne treatment has always worked miracles with other kinds of breakouts.  But I gotta tell you, my consistency of using it goes down when I’m sick.  But it still has a hard time keeping things at bay, harder than normal, because the challenge is considerably harder.  So if you’re sick, the biggest thing is to remember to keep up your skincare regimens.  It may not seem all that important then, but it will later.  But also, just make sure you have something that works before then.
