Breaking out help!

I have been traveling between really dry dessert climates, and humid hot climates. My skin has been breaking out so bad and I don't know what to do! Not only my face but recently I have been getting red bumps on my chest, shoulders, and back. I have NEVER had breakouts in these areas before, and bought a backless dress because I've always especially loved my back (haha weird I know). I'm so worried about my wedding. What are some face wash and moisturizer recommendations you all have?

    I'd visit the dermatologist.  An oral antibiotic might be able to clear that right up.

    If you're older than early twenties, acne fighting face washes might do more harm than good- they're designed for teenage breakouts, not adult acne.  When I had acne, it was caused by dry skin and the acne fighting over the counter stuff made matters worse.

    As someone who works at a dermotologist office, I second the PP. Visit a Derm Dr.

    Also as a patient myself, I had put off going and by the time I did my acne was terrible. I had never had what I would consider "bad" acne until recently. Just a little breakout here or there during my "lady week" lol, but not this time. I looked like I was going through puberty all over again...which basically I was since it was caused from hormonal changes...But I went and she precribed Epiduo gel and Minocycline...works like magic...I'm now acne free :)

    So I would make that appt ASAP.

    So I don't have insurance at the moment so going to a derm was not an option. I just bought something that saved my life, it's called the clarasonic mia. I bought the origional and not the #2 because there's really no need for the extra money. It's around $100. I also bought this cleanser to go with it Murad Acne cleanser. I have always had a problem with acne and had pro-active forever. This was 100% better the next day....I'm on day 12 and have 1 pimple on my face and my acne scars are almost gone. I'm sure this sounds like a cheesy ad, but I wish I had a before picture to show the difference.

    I second getting a Clarisonic!  It's really worth the money, I promise!  However, a visit to the dermatologist is always your best bet.
