My current electrologist puts tea tree oil with aloe vera on after each session. My previous electrologist said that Neosporin can possibly create problems, but she wasn't specific on how. I'm assuming it's because, as Caith mentioned, some people can have reactions to the ingredients. When I wake up in the morning, I always seem to have a whole bunch of new break outs--or at least a few new ones. I don't seem to develop them during the day. I'm not sure why this is. I considered the possibility that the fabric softener I used on my sheets and pillow case might be affecting the skin, and so I rewashed my pillow case without any fabric softener. It didn't make a difference. As for liquid soap, I use Olay gentle foaming face wash in the shower. *sigh* I suppose it will just be trial and error until I find a regimen that works for me.
Edit:
I have been drying my face off after I get out of the shower with my towel. That's probably not a good idea. I'm going to try to stop doing that. It might take a while, though, because I tend to do it as a habit without thinking about it. We'll see if that makes a difference.
