What "scrub" are you using? Sometimes, they can actually aggravate your skin rather than helping it. If you're not using Herbalism or Angels on Bare Skin, try one of those. Get a sample of the Coal Face soap; the coal and liquorice are good for oily skin and can help calm it down.
You probably will not be able to prevent every breakout either, no matter what you use.

My LUSH order came, and none of it is melty (despite how damn hot it was today!). Whew! I got a small bottle of Veganese (oh my God, it smells phenomenal), Reincarnate, a giant bottle of American Cream and more Aquamarina. I'm putting away all my wedding shower gifts right now (quite the project -- I feel like a greedy little pig), and as a reward afterward, I'm going to take a long bath and use my new stuff. Squee!
I really want to buy more Retread and am mad that I forgot. I want to try Big shampoo too. Oh well. Next time! The fun thing about LUSH is there is always new stuff to test out.
India, I love your avatar. LOVE. Have fun tomorrow. I'm so jealous!

Yay, India! Be sure YOU ask for samples of stuff you haven't used yet - because, how can you sell what you don't know about? The last couple of new hires at our shop walked away with a bag full of samples (I know, because I made most of them up). When you talk to customers, you really want to say "Yeah, I've used this" or "I use this a lot" or whatever. I get questions from customers all the time like "Do you really use this stuff?" If you can't say what it does or that you use it yourself, why should they?

Well, LUSH isn't hiring in town, so I guess my forays into the store will have to be strictly as a customer.
Next time I go back I'm going to try Aquamarina. I love AoBS, but I just don't think it's tough enough for my skin.

I went a-raiding today for more stuff!!!!! I mostly picked up samples to try.
So far the first one I tried didn't work. My hair is going absolutely nuts with the weather and need something to keep it tame. I was given the Trichomania Shampoo to just use dry on my hair.
I have fine, somewhat curly hair, that frizzes. Any recommendations?

My manager told me we get a "Welcome" goodie bag when we start - I don't know if that's tomorrow for training, or on my first work work day, but maybe that'll have stuff in there I haven't used yet as well!

Any recommendations? Cynthia Sylvia Stout. It's got beer, balsamic vinegar, lemon etc in it and it's formulated to "weigh down" frizzy hair and make it behave.

I forgot to put the moisterizer on this morning and my face is screaming at me! Ouch. I think that I'm addicted to Enzymion. Also, I'm still getting breakouts. Any ideas? I'm using Fresh Farmacy, Tea Tree Spray and Enzymion. Periodically I'm using the magnaminty mask and in the shower about once or twice a week I'm using a scrub. My skin is really clearing up and I do the following; Morning: Aquamarina, I pop it on for 5 minutes while I brush my teet, clean up, etc. , then rinse it off in the shower, follow up with the tea tree toner, and celestial moisturizer. Evening: Herbalism, the same way, sort of like a mini facial--it gets all of the grime of the day off--and cleans up my skin before working out. After my workout and shower, I follow it with the toner/cleanser. I've got super sensitive skin, so about 3 times a week I use Sweet Japanese Girl, followed by a face mask (Catastrophe Cosmetic, BB Seaweed, or Mask of Magnamity) Honestly, it's been maybe 2 weeks, and my skin is looking so much better. I still have a blemish or two, but marks from old pimples are clearing up--and my nose is blackhead free.

I have slightly wavy, dark hair and CSS is so, so awesome on it. And I love the way it smells. (If you hate the way it smells, it's pretty much gone by the time you're out of the shower. Or your hair dries. I can't remember. I'm out. haha.) And India, if you guys managed to get Snowcake available year round AND bring back the Flying Saucers bath melt, I'd have to erect a shrine, or something. ;D
