Dear Lizzy

Spotty and Sleepless
Dear Lizzy,

I have a dreadful breakout of acne that I can't seem to get rid of. I get it now and then, but a breakout of this magnitude is kind of unusual for my skin. Nothing seems to help-- moisturizing, washing regularly, acne cleansing soaps...

I am considering seeing a dermatologist but I kind of want to avoid ending up taking prescriptions or using anything harshly chemical.

What products, methods etc. would you (and/or your readers) recommend?

Dear Lizzy,

How do I make myself go to sleep when I'm tired but not sleepy, and I know that I have to be up early in the morning? I stopped drinking caffeine entirely because of insomnia issues, and by the time I realize that I can't fall asleep, it's too late to take melatonin or Benadryl and still be able to wake up in the morning. Help!
