Lightbulb Miracle Whip?

So, since I had my son my acne has gottem worse. I haven't had an acne free day since he was born and he is five months! I have been doing some research to see what I could do to help it. I have decided to try the Miracle Whip face mask. From all the reviews I've read, it works really good. Has something to do with the vinegar I guess. As I am typing I have it on. The mask feels a little warm, the vinegar fumes aren't too bad (I am sitting next to a fan), and it is tingling a little. I have oily skin, but I have read that it doesn't leave your skin oily afterwards. I even read some things about people crushing asprin into it and mixing before applying. I am just doing the plain miracle whip right now, then I will try the aspirin later.

Has anyone else used this method?

antibiotic cream has helped me a lot...I tried Proactive and hated it. Too much to do and it bleached my colored fabrics. My doc prescribed me topical clindamycin and that's what cleared it up. I can't use it too much because it will really dry out my skin horribly but it's important for me to keep the acne away....I have dark skin so even after a pimple clears up it leaves a highly pigmented mark.

Sorry about this answer having no relevance to Miracle Whip...just wanted to share what worked for me in case you're interested!

In my first post, I said how the Miracle Whip mask felt warm and tingly...well I took it off and my face was so red, it looked like I had been out in the sun for about 5 hours with no sunscreen. After I washed it all off, my face was still warm. The redness did go away within about 2-3 hours.
In the link I found it said that you are supposed to rub it around in little circles and little balls of dead skin would form (i know it sounds gross) after the 20 minutes, but when I did this, It just looked like the Miracle whip had curdled from not being in the fridge.
My face feels a little smoother, but is still oily this morning. I made sure I washed it again with regular soap before I went to bed just to make sure I got all of the MW off. Surprisingly my skin doesn't and didn't smell like a sandwich . I think I may try some other type of mask...for oily skin.
