What can I do about post marks fom acne?

From having acne for most of my life, I've developed the ';pock marks'; or pits in my skin. I dont have a lot, but mostly on my cheeks. I guess my question is, is there anything I can use to make my skin look more even. Like using a collagen filler for wrinkles or something to fill it with? I had heard from someone to use products for wrinkles. And also is there anything that I can do surgically such as getting some kind of chemical peel or something to make them permanently go away? HELP!!What can I do about post marks fom acne?
Go to the dermatologist for advice.What can I do about post marks fom acne?
Mac makeup works good for concealing them...as far as treatments go..you could try microdermabrasion...or a chemical peel
Get a consultation from a plastic surgeon or a spa that deals with facial treatments, maybe even your dermatologist. There are lots of treatments out there that should help you.
Hi,





I understand your problem. I have suggested some products and methods to get rid of those ugly pits in my website.





Why don't you look at my website which speaks about lightening of black acne scars and tightening of pits?

What is the most effective way to treat acne on areas other than the face?

Well other then practicing good hygiene I would look into a toner and body acne cleanser of some sort. I would probably consult with a family doctor or esthetician. I'm sure you could go to a department store and ask them which line is good for men or acne. They would probably suggest a brand such as Biotherm.What is the most effective way to treat acne on areas other than the face?
you can exfoliate your skin and use a body wash product. Try Neutrogena Body Wash.What is the most effective way to treat acne on areas other than the face?
just use LAVA Soap its a hand cleaner but it work great on acne!. i use it all the time and i drink lots of soda. and i was pizza face till i started using LAVA Soap.
i would use a scrub like those ones with the little particles in them so they get rid of any dirt deep inside the pores. they sell a variety of those so you can probably find them in places like rite aid or wherever. if you wanna for something nice smelling..try bath %26amp; body works.
Most effective = eat healthy and not greasy foods, no candy, and wash acne or greasy like areas. I would also recommend buying an achne treatment, there are many out there. If you have excessive achne, however, I would suggest jsut asking a doctor and getting a medication prescribed for that achne in those places you can't get such as your back!

Will an exfoliater help reduce the appearance of acne scars?

The scars are not deep.Will an exfoliater help reduce the appearance of acne scars?
Yes it will as long as you don't over exfoliate. You can make an at home exfoliant using olive oil and corn meal. Do it once every three days.





Works great on the body too.Will an exfoliater help reduce the appearance of acne scars?
yes, but don't scrub hard, that will damage it! I got a light facial exfoliant, and it really helps if you put that on at night the rince thuroghly, then when you wake up put on an oil-free moisturizer with sun protection (spf 15 is good). It is very efective! Good luck!
yeah, try neutrogena advanced solutions acne mark peel. It works well for me.

    okay i was having crazy problems with acne.. and i was stressing out.. i couldnt really stop the stress,and proactive didnt do the job,and a million of other acne ';solutions'; did crap for me..need less to say..i could barley afford all these things.


    my older cousin recommended me to take





    *nature made vitamin b-12 stress complex..


    i started to notice it clear up in almost 2 1/2 days(7$ 1 month supply)





    *then i bought a generic apricot facial scrub that contains SALIC ACID(best thing ever, make sure it contains salic acid..or find a wash/scrub that contains it) to soften my skin.(3$ tops)





    *and last but not least i hydrate my skin with aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer.


    i hope this helps..and i really recommend giving this a try!!!
    Store bought: Clearasil 4 step kit





    at home:


    1. Wash your pillow cases (oil)


    2. Wipe your cell phone often (oil)


    3. Wash your face often


    4. Try not to touch your face


    5. Don't wear make up on your face, only do the lips and eyes


    6. Drink lots of water


    7. Don't pick at the acne


    8. Immediately after you have sweat drink lots of water and wash your face.
    acne free worked hella good for me :)


    better than proactive in my opinion
    Take 4 perlecaps of Fish Oil twice a day.

    How do I get rid of discoloration from acne scars.?

    Some areas of my face have slight discoloration from acne scars. What is a good product that i can use to get an even complexion?How do I get rid of discoloration from acne scars.?
    don't worry, that discoloration is perfectly normal. it's actually called hyperpigmentation and it's a result of slight trama to the skin (usually acne) and there are tons of products created to reduce this. if left alone it could take 1-3 months (sometimes longer) for your skin's pigment to return to normal, but with use of special products healing usually won't take longer than a month. it's best to use any product that contains the ingredient hydroquinone but if that's too hard to find neuotrogena also makes an acne mark fading peel which can be found anywhere their products are sold.How do I get rid of discoloration from acne scars.?
    Mederma is good at making scars fade. If it's a serious problem, go see a dermatologist.
    also I love Vantex from fashion fair I dont use anything else can be foound in Dillards and Foleys

    What is something that can get rid of acne scars?

    i have red pinkish spots from past acne and i wanna know if there's any over the counter, or any other creams or anything that can get rid of them. i heard maderma does.What is something that can get rid of acne scars?
    Clean %26amp; Clear Advantage Invisible Acne Patch was highly rated. It has a salicylic acid-based formulation that was deemed effective at spot treating pimples, and working well with makeup or concealer.What is something that can get rid of acne scars?
    Yeah maderma does. Acne scars are just like any other scars, just on the face. Anything that would treat a scratch on the knee should work. Lemon juice is an at home item that I would recommend. It tightens the skin minimizing the size all while lightening up the scar with your skin tone. Plus it is a natural disinfectant so it could prevent further acne by cleaning the pores and killing bacteria. Just make sure you don't put it on anything open, it might burn. Then again it would clean the wound.





    Just remember to dilute it with water a bit. Never put the pure stuff.
    Aloe vera (straight from the plant) works great, but i recommend getting a cream with aloe vera, if your skin drys out too much.

    Neutrogena complete acne therapy system do you have to keeep using it if it doesnt work?

    Did the stone age people ever suffer from acne?

    Or people for about a couple of hundered years ago?


    Well I find it hard to imagine an old human with lots of pimples, don't you?





    Our skin is affected by our circumstances and the food we eat, stress - and hormones, but also hormones are affected by food, habits, circumstances, stress etc.





    The high rate of acne might be a result of the society and conditions we live in, so are the sucidial thoughts, depressions - which has inreased.Did the stone age people ever suffer from acne?
    Guess they didnt wash much, so I would guess yes.Did the stone age people ever suffer from acne?
    I would have to say no. Living in a dirty hut or cave, having to spend the majority of your time scrabbling for existence would probably lead one to have blemish free skin. Or I could be wrong. Living in primitive, conditions having to worry about something eating you or where your next meal was coming from could lead to a fair amount of stress. Actually,now I don't know. I want to say that they had lots of pimples, but I have confused myself. How embarrassing.
    Yes, this problem was present in old ages also. In modern research it has been proved that there is no relation of diet, stress, alcohol, environment on acne. These are all old myths only. I hope you got the point. you can also see me on yahoo and google group '; dermatologyworld';. Thanks
    you are where you live - this is true as much as that saying goes ' you are what you eat '

    What have you found to be the best acne medication?

    I have mild acne and have been suffering with it for about a year. I have tried benzyclyn, dove soap, and tetracyclin. None of these seemed to work for me. I'm now just using a Nutregena Oil-Free acne wash, and am thinking about proactiv? Do any of you have any ideas? Thank youWhat have you found to be the best acne medication?
    acne free is the best no doubtWhat have you found to be the best acne medication?
    Use Proactiv. It is awesome. I use the 3 step process and then at night ever few days I put the refining mask on as a spot treatment. The mask is awesome and in the morning the pimple is almost gone. I have learned though that if you don't use it every day at least once a pimple will show up the next day.
    Cetaphil is a great gentle cleanser. It is recommended by dermatologists. I like Neutrogena products.





    ProActiv is ok. It's nothing great. Check out the active ingredient.





    Prescriptives products are fantastic but pricey.

    Is there any research on the comparative study of premature gray hair and incidence of acne in dark haired?

    Many youngsters are graying prematurely that is during their teen years and 20's. Nobody knows the reasons. Some have no known genetic factors and their health otherwise is normal. Whether any studies are conducted to understand incidence of premature graying in youth affected also by acne?Is there any research on the comparative study of premature gray hair and incidence of acne in dark haired?
    I don't know of any studies but I have often thought about it.


    I started to grey at 14 I'm 38 now and 70 % grey ( I dye it though) I have very dark brown/ black hair naturally.





    I cant' say I am aware of any connection with acne from people Ihave known who have greyed early.I never had acn or even spots for that matter....that would inicate a hormonal connection Ipersonally feel it would be more likely to be environmental.Is there any research on the comparative study of premature gray hair and incidence of acne in dark haired?

    this is a strange remedy, but it has always worked for me...mix equal parts (maybe a teaspoon full) of mouthwash, alcohol, %26amp; peroxide...





    use this with a cotton ball as an astringent...just wash your face and go over it with this and then just let it set...avoid touching your face until this dries. after which, put a dot of toothpaste (anything other than the gel formula) on your problem spots...this should reduce redness and swelling. just leave these on until they dry...in a really hot, steamy shower, just gently rinse this all off. the steam will help unclog pores and it'll hydrate your face.





    best of luck.

    You may want to try and get some general antibiotics from your GP and a good treatment cream.

    Horrible acne in all of my pregnancies, dried out my skin when breast feeding, so much was going to my baby. Your hormones need to settle down since having your daughter, it has only been a month, it can take up to 3 months for your body to catch up.DId your acne get better or worse while breastfeeding?

    My skin was flawless during pregnancy. Loved it!





    Now I feel like a 15 year old all over again.





    I don't think it's necessarily from breastfeeding- but from your body working out all the extra hormones.
    I had a boy, horrible during pregnancy, dissappeared during breastfeeding
    I would say got worse. I hardly ever got pimples and now I get them more often. Old wives tell says its the price we pay for having a girl. All those extra hormones lol.

  • Best way to get rid of and prevent acne?

    Im young and get some acne. What products work?Best way to get rid of and prevent acne?
    Eggs yolk mask for sure, or acne medicine containing sulfur.





    Eggs work best and don't mess up your skin. Just smear the yolk on your face and let it set for about 10 minutes once a day. It makes your skin soft and even looking and heals up zits faster than the treatments.





    If you want to know more about the over the counter medications read on, I am, unfortunately, somewhat of an expert.





    There are 2 main types of acne medication you can get at the store. Almost all the ones you find have one of these medicines. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME MEDICINE. They all say maximum strength because they are.





    1. BENZOIL PEROXIDE- %10 is maximum strength


    2. SYSILIC ACID- 2% is maximum strength





    They all work the same by drying your zits (and your face). They are effective for most acne just be careful they really dry your face it is like a burn if you overdo it. PROACTIVE USES THESE SAME THINGS. Really the dollar store one works just as good if you use it as a daily routine.





    More recently I discovered acne treatments that contain sulfur. They work better for me than the other kind, but are hard to come by in stores. Dollar general sells one. It is in the hispanic section, not with the other cosmetics. I'll post a link below so you can see what it looks like. Be very careful though it really can burn your skin if you overdo it right off, you wont realize until the next day.Best way to get rid of and prevent acne?
    Although there is no cure, acne treatments are available to help control breakout activity. Acne treatments are divided into three categories: topical, systemic, and procedural. The course of treatment is determined by the type and severity of acne.





    Knowing your grade of acne will help you choose the most effective treatment plan. Grade I and Grade II (mild to moderate acne) can often be treated with over-the-counter products. A dermatologist must treat Grade III and Grade IV (moderately severe to severe, or cystic acne).
    The fastest and arguably most efficient way to get rid of acne for good is detoxification.





    Acne is an internal problem that translates into skin inflammations and eruptions in the form of acne. This is why skin treatments are not the best solution for acne, but natural remedies can be. I would recommend eating lots of fruit and drinking lots of water.





    However, It has been widely reported that ';apple-fasting'; (a detox method) is the fastest natural way to cure acne. Many of my readers have reported their acne clearing up in just days while apple-fasting. And unlike other treatments, acne is unlikely to return once the body has been completely detoxified. One of my readers was so impressed with one of the popular apple-fast acne solutions that he wrote about his experiences below. If you've got time, take a look...





    http://www.squidoo.com/AcneFree-InThreeD鈥?/a>
    It really depends on the type of skin you have and what is causing your acne breakouts. There are a dozen treatments that promise the world but are really disappointing. Your best bet is to ask your dermatologist as they will know more about your specific condition.





    I learned a lot about acne and actually found a way to get rid of it quickly from this squidoo lens:

    The best advice is to find a three step system and use it twice a day without fail. It helps fight the bacteria that causes acne and helps dry up blemishes that are present.
    You're young, acne is inevitable, if you use products that dry up blemishes you get wrinkles plenty of years earlier, trust me, worse than acne for a minuscule amount of years.

    How effective is pure Jojoba oil in treating acne?

    Is Jojoba oil, applied neat to skin or used as a cleanser, really effective in preventing acne? Can it be used to treat existing pimples? Any tips/advice about how to apply it, how often, time of day etc.?How effective is pure Jojoba oil in treating acne?
    Bad idea. Any idea how acne forms? That is when pores are clogged with oil and bacteria sets in. Jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum(oil), the one that clogs pores. And by using jojoba oil, you are clogging your pores more which will definitely worsen acne.





    To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.





    Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil庐 Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil庐 Moisturizing Lotion is quite good





    Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. Don't pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.





    Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at least 8 hours a day.





    If you are a smoker. Try to quit. Smoking causes a lot of damage to your skin because it introduces toxins to it. These toxins can clog the pores or make the skin harder to breathe and that鈥檚 when the acne bacteria set in. The toxins also cause longer healing of the acne as well as the marks and scars left behind by acne.





    If all else fails and your acne is still very bad, it is time to see a dermatologist. The pills and medications do work but you may have to take them long term to suppress the acne as it is not a cure and acne is a chronic disease. However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.

    Are there natural home remedies to clear up acne and keep skin clear?

    I have used every over the counter kind of acne face wash and cream and nothing is working and I can't afford to go to a dermatologist. I had acne real bad in high school and started using Proactiv and it worked instantly. Last May I stopped using it and now my face has started breaking out again so I started using Proactiv again and it's not working. I want to try something natural to see if it helps. Any suggestions...Are there natural home remedies to clear up acne and keep skin clear?
    Using tea tree oil ( you can find it at the drug store or a health food store) as a toner on the affected areas before bed works well as a natural antiseptic to clear pimples. To restore moisture and promote new skin cells to grow, you can use a vitamin E oil all over your face or just where you need it. You can buy it at drug stores in a glass jar or you can buy vitamin E capsules, pierce them open and use the oil inside. It's a bit more hassle, but it's fresher and more potent than the jar variety.Are there natural home remedies to clear up acne and keep skin clear?

    there is a lot of products and they all garantee the same thing. CLEAR Skin.. some of it is just crap.


    use a facial scrub . wash your face with it 3 times a day. morning, middle of the day and before you go to bed, you can get a facial scrub from stores like CVS and Rite Aid. but if you cant get a facial scrub for some reason you can just use soap.


    if your going to use a acne medication make sure you stick to it for at least 2 weeks dont switch between products.


    washing your face is really good for your skin becasue it keeps it clean and fresh and healthy and not oily. if your face is dirty and full of bacteria that causes pimples and acne as well.


    try not to stress over a lot of stuff i know we all stress but that causes break outs too. also, drink a lot of water. if nothing else, the best solution is to see a dermatologist. they know the best about your skin type and what to do about it.


    i think neutrogena skin ID is good too because on the website you can actually select everything about your skin type and how often you break out and they find something that really matches your skin. i never tried their products but i hope it helps.!


    try watching this video it has good tips on how to get clearer skin. ;]

    Which is the best for back acne and back acne scars?

    glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid peels (at home)? I really need a direct answer in this, thanks. I don't want another website, thanks, I just want people who are professional (dermatologist, doctor, etc) or someone who has had experience with the peels. Thanks!Which is the best for back acne and back acne scars?
    I had back acne (alone with many other places) while growing up. You could just grow out of it, I basically did (eventually). Other than that I'm pretty sure it would really depend on your skin type for which peel you used. Personally I use an apricot scrub when I get acne. It doesn't cure it, but it cleans the area really well, makes it less noticable and doesn't leave scaring after. You can get them at any store really and it's not that expensive, use it everyday and it helps reduce it I find. Good luckWhich is the best for back acne and back acne scars?
    I am not a doctor but I can tell you some things that have worked for me. First I dont know whether you are male or female but I noticed the acne was worse where my bra straps were, so I made sure to wash them everytime I wore them to keep the area clean. Also make sure your sheets are washed often and t-shirts and change as soon as you are done working out.





    Secondly, make sure you are exfoliating as much as possible. You may need someone to help you with this to get every part of your back. I promise this alone helped get rid of 75% of my acne in a week or so. This also helped lighten some of the scars.





    Then you can use topical treatments you described above to help more. I wouldnt use anything too trong at first because you dont want to irritate the skin even more.





    Good luck

    I need help with getting rid of stubborn acne?

    I have really bad facial acne and it just doesn't go away. I wash my face everyday, drink lots of water, I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat fatty foods. I just don't get it. It bothers me and it really eats away at my confidence. Any help?I need help with getting rid of stubborn acne?
    1. Remove bacteria from your pores. Your skin can become ';allergic'; to this bacteria. Use anti-bacterial products containing benzoyl peroxide by rubbing, twice daily, into the pores over the affected region or washing with a medicated bar soap or wash. Keep in mind that this may cause dryness, local irritation and redness. Warm water cleans your pores very well. So you should fill the sink with warm water, pull your hair back and put your face under water for about 10 seconds.


    2. Avoid exposing your skin to other sources of oil and irritants.





    3. Review your diet and the research surrounding the links between diet and acne. The relationship between food and acne is a debatable topic. Your diet may or may not have an effect on acne.





    4. Consult a dermatologist regarding your acne. Minimize use of medication containing halogens (iodides, chlorides, bromides), lithium, barbiturates, or androgens.


    5. Keep your bedsheets clean. Wash your pillow case on a regular schedule to reduce the transfer of natural body oils.


    6. Wash your face one time a day. Don't overwash , because that will cause only more production of oil on your skin. Or use very gentle cleansers for normal skin that don't dehydrate the skin and wash twice a day.








    goood luck.! best answer? lolI need help with getting rid of stubborn acne?
    Last time i also have bad acne problems then my friends recommend me to use acnezine. I have use Acnezine to combat my acne an it works. It is the natural medication for acne treatment and serves a major role reducing such types of acne or acne scars.

    Can your acne go away without products?

    I have a mild amount of acne on my face, and I do not want to put chemicals or any products on it. Can I clear my acne up with just water? Warm or cold?Can your acne go away without products?
    Wash it with hot water, then rinse with cold water....it opens the pores n stuff.Can your acne go away without products?
    Acne can be mitigated with regular soap and water, but good hygiene cannot completely eliminate acne. If your acne is only mild, then you'll probably be fine with just washing your face normally, but you won't be 100% clear from it. Acne is caused by oils that form under your skin. Products specifically intended for acne penetrate the skin and dissolve the oils below the surface.
    it can but it will take about 3 times as long as it would with treatment. and if u have a mild amount that just recently happened it will probably get worse if not treated soon. go see a dermotolagist and see if they think it will get better or worse ad if u need products or to treat it
    yeah its possible buh you got to get in a healthy diet or w.e; lol like dont eat gressy stuff like pizza friess n blahhh; drink alot alot of water; dont be touchin yur facee......ooh yea n green tree tea thingy majigy workss alot

    It's no argument that severe acne problems torment many teens as well as older men and women. They just appear almost anywhere on the body with skin. Don't wait to become one of them! There are many treatments available, some of which may come as a surprise to you. If you have been wanting to research different treatment options, I believe http://www.skinsosilky.com/acne-skin-car鈥?/a> offers what will work best for you.What causes acne to form around the nose?
    Many of us suffer from acne. However, taking careful steps and looking after your skin can help to reduce acne and give your skin a much fresher appearence. Below are some ways to care for skin if you have acne:





    Clean skin gently. Use a mild cleanser in the morning, evening, and after heavy workouts. Scrubbing the skin does not stop acne. It can even make the problem worse.


    Try not to touch your skin. People who squeeze, pinch, or pick their pimples can get scars or dark spots on their skin.


    Shave carefully. If you shave, you can try both electric and safety razors to see which works best. With safety razors, use a sharp blade. Also, it helps to soften your beard with soap and water before putting on shaving cream. Shave lightly and only when you have to.


    Stay out of the sun. Many acne medicines can make people more likely to sunburn. Being in the sun a lot can also make skin wrinkle and raise the risk of skin cancer.


    Choose makeup carefully. All makeup should be oil free. Look for the word ';noncomedogenic'; on the label. This means that the makeup will not clog up your pores. But some people still get acne even if they use these products.





    Some things can make acne worse


    Changing hormone levels in teenage girls and adult women 2 to 7 days before their period starts


    Pressure from bike helmets, backpacks, or tight collars


    Pollution and high humidity


    Squeezing or picking at pimples


    Hard scrubbing of the skin.
    Acne or pimples are usually a result of hormonal changes and an irregular and increased production of oil by the sebaceous glands. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

    Has anyone ever used baking soda as an acne treatment?

    I've read/researched this on the internet and it sounds like a cheap and simple treatment. Does it work? Mixing baking soda with water to form a paste and applying it to acne prone areas?Has anyone ever used baking soda as an acne treatment?
    Clear your acne, and get beautiful skin.





    For clear glowing skin, a little home remedy does wonders for my complexion, as it should with yours too.





    Steam your face for 20 minutes every night after washing it, then every other night after steaming your face, massage a half


    teaspoon castor oil over face. Leave it on at night while you sleep and wash off immediately upon waking. Steam face for twenty more minutes in the morning after washing. When you finish steaming your face splash your face with cool water and dry it.





    If your skin starts to show any signs of a pimple forming. Take one night off from steaming and applying castor oil and apply


    Benzoyl Peroxide over face.





    Take the next night off also from the steaming, castor oil, and benzoyl peroxide. Continue facial regimen with steaming and


    castor oil the following night.





    This will moisturize your face at the same time it will help clear up acne and pimples. But only if you work at


    it consistently.Has anyone ever used baking soda as an acne treatment?
    If you want to try using baking soda as an acne treatment, my recommendation is to use one teaspoon of it in your cleanser at night to exfoliate your skin.

    Best wishesWhat is the best way to clear up acne using at home remedies?
    use baking soda when you wash your face.
    1. You know those annoying oil spots you get under your skin? They're hard bumps that just *won't* pop. Moisten some salt and dab it on the spot. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, then try to pop it *with clean hands* and no fingernails. To reduce swelling, put crushed Aspirin over the area. Chances are, the spot will continue to leak blood and oil even after most of the nasty stuff is out. So dab vinegar or more salt over the area. This will dry out the spot better than toothpaste.


    2. Cut your fingernails as short as possible. That way, if you do end up popping them, you won't cut your skin--which leaves nasty scars--and it won't spread germs from under your fingernails (which slows healing). I was proud of my long nails, but they were damaging my face...and it wasn't worth it.


    3. To bleach scars, cut a lemon in half and slide it around your face. This is likely to sting, but if you do it regularly, it should help.


    4. Crushed up Aspirin (and I hear Visene eye drops) can reduce redness and swelling.
    put toothpaste not the gel kind on the pimple overnight it will dry it up
    If you have some, use isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip, and dab it on. Do that two or three times in an hour on the same spot. Watch the acne disappear!
    If you live in the country and use well water.try using baby bottle water to wash your face the chemicales in it help with the acne.
    Wash your face every day!!


    Don't touch your face during the day since your hands are probably sweaty etc. and you don't want that in your face.


    At night, apply some toothpaste directly on the pimple.

    Vitamin E oil is great to lighten scars as well as mederma, which are both over the counter products.

    Stay away from the sun at all times. There are some good scar medicines, but one thing that they told me with some very large scars on my face was to keep it moist, never let it dry up not sun burn. A good mosturizer will make your skin feel better. But really it is better to use a sunscreen all the time that is safe for acne-skin.
    Neutrogena makes some products to remove acne scars. I don't know how good it works though. You can go to drugstore.com to read reviews. Good luck.

    You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.





    http://www.fredstown.com/





    You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you're waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you're rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That's what I'm doing. God Bless.

    Im now looking for quick result with this but i am looking for sign of it working. I been using noxzema for a week and i want to know does it really work?Does the acne cream noxzema really work?
    I think it depends on the type of skin you have. If you have normal skin it will probably work. All the kids at school when I was in jr hi and highschool use to use it, but it never did anything for me because my skin was really oily and i just didnt have what would be considered a ';normal'; skin type.


    Noxema actually made me feel slimy like no matter how much water I used I couldnt rinse it off completely.


    I even tried Proactive which didnt work either.

    - hey Ryan !


    - I have a book here called 1,801 Home Remedies


    - Trustworthy treatments for everyday health problems.


    - I'll write everything down for U, so bare with me okay.


    - Acne:


    - If scientist can decipher the human genome, U'd think they could find a way 2 eradicate acne.


    - No suck luck.


    - It's up 2 U 2 deal with the outbreaks that can damage U're pride of appearance long after teenage angst past.


    - When a pimple rears it's ugly black, white, or red head, over-the-counter products can help.


    - But so can simple remedies from Mother Nature's medicine chest.


    What's wrong ?


    - U're skin is producing 2 much sebum (the thick oily substance that acts as a natural lubricant) %26amp; the excess is blocking U're pores.


    - There R 2 kinds of acne.


    - The most common form ';acne vulgaris'; shows up on U're face, chest, shoulders or back as blackheads, whiteheads or red blemishes.


    - ';Cystic acne'; appears as painful cysts or firm painless limps.


    - Fluctuating hormones caused by puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause or birth-control pills often increase the production of sebum, which can trigger an outbreak of either type.


    - Other culprits include emotional stress, clothing that rubs against the skin %26amp; some drugs (such as steroids).


    - Genetics may also play a role.


    - Zap Zits Now:


    - The first avenue of assault is an over-the-counter cream or gel formulated with ';benzoyl peroxide';.


    - It works by mildly irritating the skin, which encourage dying skin cells 2 flake off.


    - This helps reopen clogged pores.


    - Benzoyl peroxide also kills the bacteria that infect clogged pores.


    - Alpha-hydroxy acid (AHAs), such as glycolic acid, slough off the outermost layer of skin, which helps keep pores clean %26amp; unclogged.


    - Opt for a cream, lotion or gel that contains 8% glycolic acid.


    - At the first hint of a pimple, wrap an ice cube in a piece of plastic wrap %26amp; hold it 2 the area at least twice a day, every hour if U can, but no for no longer than 5 minutes each time.


    - The cold will reduce the redness %26amp; ease the inflammation.


    - Pop an aspirin or 2 :


    - Taking 1 or two 325 milligram tablets 4 times a day can help calm an acne outbreak by reducing inflammation. (check with U're doctor before taking aspirin regularly.)


    - Try Alternative Acne Treatments:


    - 3 times a day, dab a drop of tea-tree oil on blemishes 2 discourage infection %26amp; speed healing.


    - Research has found that 5% tea-tree oil is as effective against acne as a 5% benzoyl peroxide solution.


    - Dab vinegar or lemon juice on pimples.


    - All vinegars contains acids that can help flush out pores %26amp; so does lemon juice.


    - An old folk remedy for healing pimples is 2 use a mixture of spice %26amp; honey on them.


    - Combine 1 teaspoon powdered nutmeg %26amp; 1 teaspoon honey %26amp; apply it 2 the pimple.


    - Leave on for 20 minutes, then wash off.


    - There's no proof that this hyelps, but honey does have antiseptic properties.


    - Apply aloe vera:


    - 1 study found that 90% of skin sores were completely healed with aleo vera within 5 days.


    - Think zinc:


    - People with acne tend 2 have lower than normal zinc levels.


    - Zinc supplements produce visible improvement in about a third of people who take them.


    - U'll need high doses though (between 200 %26amp; 600 milligrams daily), so take it only under U're doctor's supervision.


    - The Power Of Prevention:


    - If U keep skin free of dirt %26amp; axcess oil (the thinking goes) perhaps U're pores will never get clogged.


    - But over-cleansing can cause acne by making U're sebaceous glads produce more oil.


    - Forgo granulated cleansers %26amp; avoid washcloths, cuz they can be abrasive %26amp; can accumulate bacteria if U reuse them.


    - Instead, use a disposable cleansing cloth or cotton pads.


    - Make a skin-cleansing solution 2 help clear up blackheads.


    - Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt %26amp; 3 drops of iodine 2 one-half cup of water %26amp; bring 2 a boil %26amp; then let cool.


    - Dip in a clean cotton pad %26amp; use it 2 clean the pores.


    - Men; rince U're razor in alcohol after U use it so any bacteria it harbors won't transfer itself 2 u're face.


    - 2 Squeeze or Not 2 Squeeze:


    - If U absolutely, positively must squeeze U're blemishes, here's the dermatologist-approved method (%26amp; this is only valid for whiteheads)


    - Clean the area well.


    - light a match %26amp; hold the tip of a needle in the flame for 3 seconds.


    - Then gently nick the surface of the pimple.


    - Use a cotton swab 2 drain it, then clean it with hydrogen peroxide, if U wish.


    - But don't squeeze or pick, cuz U'll make it worse.


    - 2 ';squeeze'; a blackhead, use a blackhead extractor, available in drugstores.


    - Soften the blemish with a hot-water compress for 10 minutes before U use it, %26amp; wash U're hands beforehand 2 reduce the chances of infection.


    - Well.....


    - ther U R dude.


    - That's all she wrote, lol.


    PS: I find that if I wash my face with a goat's milk soap when I first jump in the shower, it will remove all the dirt, oil %26amp; dead skin.


    - then after I'm done my shower %26amp; just before I get out, I wash my face with some ';St. Ives'; clear pore cleanser.


    - then I dry off %26amp; use a ';neutrogena deep clean invigorating dual action toner';


    - U'll be amaze on just how clear U're face will become.


    - good luck %26amp; chow bro !How can i get rid of acne and scabbed acne?
    Well, you should try either Proactive, or this thing called Acne Free. It's like a store brand of Proactive and you can usually find it at Walmart, Target, Walgreen's, etc. And it works pretty well. Also you should always wash your face once a day with some mild soap like Dove, it doesn't really have a scent and it is gentle on your skin.





    Hope that helps. ^.^
    Lemons. The juice kills the bacteria that cause acne. Open your pores first with steam ( a how shower works).

    - Research has found that 5% tea-tree oil is as effective against acne as a 5% benzoyl peroxide solution.


    - Dab vinegar or lemon juice on pimples.


    - All vinegars contains acids that can help flush out pores %26amp; so does lemon juice.


    - An old folk remedy for healing pimples is 2 use a mixture of spice %26amp; honey on them.


    - Combine 1 teaspoon powdered nutmeg %26amp; 1 teaspoon honey %26amp; apply it 2 the pimple.


    - Leave on for 20 minutes, then wash off.


    - There's no proof that this hyelps, but honey does have antiseptic properties.


    - Apply aloe vera:


    - 1 study found that 90% of skin sores were completely healed with aleo vera within 5 days.


    - Think zinc:


    - People with acne tend 2 have lower than normal zinc levels.


    - Zinc supplements produce visible improvement in about a third of people who take them.


    - U'll need high doses though (between 200 %26amp; 600 milligrams daily), so take it only under U're doctor's supervision.


    - The Power Of Prevention:


    - If U keep skin free of dirt %26amp; axcess oil (the thinking goes) perhaps U're pores will never get clogged.


    - But over-cleansing can cause acne by making U're sebaceous glads produce more oil.


    - Forgo granulated cleansers %26amp; avoid washcloths, cuz they can be abrasive %26amp; can accumulate bacteria if U reuse them.


    - Instead, use a disposable cleansing cloth or cotton pads.


    - Make a skin-cleansing solution 2 help clear up blackheads.


    - Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt %26amp; 3 drops of iodine 2 one-half cup of water %26amp; bring 2 a boil %26amp; then let cool.


    - Dip in a clean cotton pad %26amp; use it 2 clean the pores.


    - Men; rince U're razor in alcohol after U use it so any bacteria it harbors won't transfer itself 2 u're face.


    - 2 Squeeze or Not 2 Squeeze:


    - If U absolutely, positively must squeeze U're blemishes, here's the dermatologist-approved method (%26amp; this is only valid for whiteheads)


    - Clean the area well.


    - light a match %26amp; hold the tip of a needle in the flame for 3 seconds.


    - Then gently nick the surface of the pimple.


    - Use a cotton swab 2 drain it, then clean it with hydrogen peroxide, if U wish.


    - But don't squeeze or pick, cuz U'll make it worse.


    - 2 ';squeeze'; a blackhead, use a blackhead extractor, available in drugstores.


    - Soften the blemish with a hot-water compress for 10 minutes before U use it, %26amp; wash U're hands beforehand 2 reduce the chances of infection.


    - Well.....


    - ther U R dude.


    - That's all she wrote, lol.


    PS: I find that if I wash my face with a goat's milk soap when I first jump in the shower, it will remove all the dirt, oil %26amp; dead skin.


    - then after I'm done my shower %26amp; just before I get out, I wash my face with some ';St. Ives'; clear pore cleanser.


    - then I dry off %26amp; use a ';neutrogena deep clean invigorating dual action toner';


    - U'll be amaze on just how clear U're face will become.


    - good luck %26amp; chow bro !How can i get rid of acne and scabbed acne?
    Well, you should try either Proactive, or this thing called Acne Free. It's like a store brand of Proactive and you can usually find it at Walmart, Target, Walgreen's, etc. And it works pretty well. Also you should always wash your face once a day with some mild soap like Dove, it doesn't really have a scent and it is gentle on your skin.





    Hope that helps. ^.^
    Lemons. The juice kills the bacteria that cause acne. Open your pores first with steam ( a how shower works).

    unfortunately there isn't one creams make acne worse as they bloke the pores i suffer from pimples and spots as well its all down to what you eat i have just recently found out that Sugar and yeast are the two main reasons for spots as they effect something called candida in the body while we constantly feed it fuel thought sugars and yeast it will continue to give you spots i did a detox which was suppose to get rid of all acne in 3 days unfortunately i have resistant acne which means im going to have to do it again with a few tweaks and have to wait 4 weeks before i can do it again but i would say cut out sugars or yeats for 2 week and i bet you will see i difference it you skin .
    Tooth paste.





    I'm not joking, it really works wonders and in just a couple of hours time, for best results pop the spot first so the tooth paste can kill the little puss germs, and have the tooth paste on over night, you only need enough to cover the spot.
    To get rid of acne is to take antibiotics, go to see the Doctor for some as soon as possible because this is the only best way to get rid of acne.
    I am supposed to be using proactiv but it doesn't work that well for me b/c you have to use it twice a day and I've been slacking...but I'm sure it does work...I've tried clearisil, biore and clean and clear and those didn't seem to help much
    I use Panoxyl Aqua Gel, from over he counter at the chemist. When you first use it, the skin goes dry and flakey, but soon settles down.

    Got rid of my acne scars and haven't had any acne in about 5 months. =]
    No. You can't use a cream to get rid of scars. Scars are gonna stay. Sorry.
    well my advice to you is Don鈥檛 start any treatment for scarring until your acne is completely gone and unlikely to come back.


    Skin resurfacing techniques (like dermabrasion), surgical excision, and fillers have been used to diminish acne scarring for years with mixed results. Currently, laser therapy has assumed a more important role in the treatment of acne scars, and other newer surgical methods featuring light and radio waves are an option to treat your acne.

    What products would you recommend for very sensitive, acne prone skin?

    Something fairly cheap that you can find at a drugstore would be nice (:What products would you recommend for very sensitive, acne prone skin?
    Well first and formost I say you get what you pay for. I am not a keen person on drugstore facials cleansers. But it depends on some other factors is your skin dry or oily? If your looking for sensitive type skin I am guess you may have drier skin, but oily in your acne zones. I would try the Neutrogena line. They have a whole Acne regimend. Get a gentle cleanser, avoid getting exfolients, or that will tear up your face. Use it at least every night unless directed otherwise. Moisturize like crazy!!! one of the best things for you to do for your skin is keep it moisturized. Try a nice mint mask once a week too!! They are awesome!Queen Julip I believe it is has one. I use it every week. It helps dry out acne that you have now, and prevent it from happening too much. Plus it feels awesome. Your going to keep it on for about 15 minutes. When you buy the actual acne treatment dont do an all over your face ordeal. Do on the spot. Im saying this because you have sensitive skin, and salysilic acid is great for drying out pimples, but definatly dries out skin too at that. good luck with everything. any questions ask me =]What products would you recommend for very sensitive, acne prone skin?
    your skin is something that you need to invest in.


    drugstore cosmetics aint gonna cut it.
    Well, when I was having problems with acne, I bought some Neutrogena Acne Stress Control products. Buy the green stuff with the microbeads in it. I swear, all my acne was gone in about 2 weeks of using that. Now my skin is clear even when I'm PMSing. Seriously! Also buy the Acne 8hour cleansing pads. Rub those gently over the acne twice a day. I swear everything cleared up for me, and my skin is like it was when I was a kid. Bye.
    Firstly using substances derived from vitamin A like retin-a or tazarotene, to reduce inflammation of the skin and to unplug pores. Retin-A can cause skin reddening at first but this is quite normal as the skin's blood supply is improved and younger looking skin begins to appear presenting a youthful complexion. Using a product that includes zinc will also help the vitamin a function better.

    Where did acne originate from? Why isn't out face capable of being immune to it?

    I would assume the latter is due to our ongoing evolution and adaptation. But why do we have acne, and where did it come from? Has it been around since early man, or did it appear later on? Did it originate from bacteria, or were there other reasons?Where did acne originate from? Why isn't out face capable of being immune to it?
    Good question!!





    Skin isn't immune to acne the same way it isn't immune to getting paper cuts.





    The pores of the face (or where ever) fill with dirt, sweat, and dead skin cells which is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. The pimples are a result of our immune system fighting off the bacteria.





    Acne can be caused by systemic problems too. Poor nutrition, illness, and other problems can result in acne.


    There is also a genetic component.





    Cave men probably did get acne, and for the same reasons.Where did acne originate from? Why isn't out face capable of being immune to it?
    A blemish begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on your skin's surface. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles, the tiny holes commonly called pores. Here鈥檚 how it happens:Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. As your skin renews itself, the old cells die and slough off. When cells are shed unevenly, they clump together with natural skin oil to form a plug 鈥?much like a cork in a bottle. This plug, or comedo, traps oil and bacteria inside the follicle. As the skin continues to produce oil, the pore swells...and bacteria flourish.
    Hi Viktor





    Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood.





    Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems.';





    Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin.';





    Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Juice Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.





    Learn more about Therapeutic Fasting and Detoxification - Colon Cleansing is the main step. Must remove the toxins from the colon, so the toxins dont get in the blood and cause illness and disease.





    Natural Cures





    1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.





    2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.





    3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.





    4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.





    5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.

    What is the best oil-free moisturizer for acne prone skin?

    I have been recently breaking out and i think it is because the moisturizer i was using had mineral oil and other oils in it. I would like to know what moisturizers are good? I've heard Eurecin and Aveeno and neutrogena oil-free moisturizer are good but which are the best? please helpWhat is the best oil-free moisturizer for acne prone skin?
    clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion.


    http://www.clinique.com/templates/produc鈥?/a>What is the best oil-free moisturizer for acne prone skin?
    I did some research and talked to my doctor to find the most common causes of acne.





    鈥?Hormones: The number one cause of acne is the production of sex hormones, known as androgen, that begins at puberty. This is why majority of acne sufferers are adolescents and teens. Hormones are responsible for then acne flare-ups during menstruation and pregnancy.





    鈥?When the sebaceous gland is stimulated by androgens, it produces extra sebum. In its journey up the follicle toward the surface, the sebum mixes with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that have been shed from the lining of the follicle. While this process is normal, the presence of extra sebum in the follicle increases the chances of clogging 鈥?and acne.





    鈥?Stress: can also cause the production of hormones, such as cortisol, which can aggravate acne. Stress brings upon different hormone levels. With hormone changes the body prompts the skins oil glands to enlarge, secreting more oil. Which causes white heads, black heads and pimples.





    鈥?Oily or heavy make up: Heavy make-up clogs the pores and oily make-ups add more oil, which only adds to the problem if oily skin already exists. Cosmetics, especially certain moisturizers, foundations and pomades contain lanolin, petrolatum, vegetable oils, butyl stearate, lauryl alcohol and oleic acid.





    鈥?Certain medications and steroids: Vitamins are good for your body, But an excess of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 can cause acne flare-ups. These vitamins are good for the skin, but avoid overuse.





    鈥?Diets: For some people, a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates and sugars can actually aggravate their acne.





    鈥?Over abrasive cleansing: Harsh exfoliators can damage skin and spread infections.





    鈥?Picking and squeezing: This can actually send the infection deeper into the skin and can cause scarring.





    鈥?Environmental irritants: such as high humidity and pollution. High humidity actually causes swelling of skin. Pollution is of course is a big cause for clogging your pores.





    鈥?Genes: Family members who are also acne sufferers. Acne is inherited and severe cases known as cystic acne usually come from heredity.








    And..What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.





    Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:





    http://www.17acnetreatments.com





    P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She's sharing her story at her site:

    Message: mukunda thank you so much, im officially acne and pimple free after 2 1/2 weeks. if it wasnt for your advice i dont know what i would have done...one thing i noticed that helped me with mine was vigorously rubbing olive oil in my skin....





    TREATMENT


    I've had incredible results simply massaging with essential oils. Oils such as olive, sweet almond, grape seed and lavender (it needs diluting as too strong used neat) are good and have been used by skin specialists to successfully treat and cure acne. They do not clog, cause breakouts and surprisingly, lessen skin's over production of oils. Rid me of acne and removed all blemishes and scars and gave me a smooth, totally clear, healthy and radiant skin.





    Vigorously massage into skin (that is key to it working). In just two days you will start seeing results. Skin will start clearing and will tighten, look and feel smoother and firmer.





    Oils are perfect moisturizers Many moisturizing products are skin harming and worsen or cause acne. Do not remove. Simply splash face with water and dab dry with tissues.

    It's`a moisturizer. You do not remove. Simply splash face with water and remove surface excess with tissues Report Abuse

    Keep on a Diet plan With No-Fat And Low-protien. stay away from cosmetics and day or night creams. dont apply anything on face but a good sunblock. Wash your face 2 or 3 times a day with an oil control soap as it will decrease the production of sebum and will stop the acne.
    If you have an oily skin wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the pimples like soap.The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. If you have a dry skin honey is a great remedy for acne and pimples because the honey kills bacteria. If you have a combination skin when you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne.Check out http://usefulinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
    One thing that you can do is boil a pot of water. Once it is boiling and steam is coming up, put your face over the pot. The steam will help clear the acne up.


    Just make sure you don't actually put your face in the water!


    It works for me. I'm not sure if it will work for you too, because it depends on your skin type. But its worth a shot.


    Good luck!
    Cleanse your face with milk by using cotton balls and soaking them in milk and then wiping your face until all the dirt and stuff is off your face, I also make this face mask out of sandal wood powder ( i bought it at an indian food store) and mix it with lemon or lime (natural antibacterial), and a little honey, and a little bit of milk or yogurt and some turmeric

    Will shaving my head get rid of forehead acne?

    I have lots of acne on my forehead.I have breakouts on my chin from time to time but my forehead is just awful.I have pretty long hair(not shoulder length or anything but stiil pretty long),bangs come down to eyes.I've heard its because the oils from my hair and stuff.Its summer so I was thinking about shaving it anyway,but dont want to because of the bad acne.Will it go away if I shave it?Will shaving my head get rid of forehead acne?
    Acne does get better in summer, i would say try it. But if you don't want to show it you could try washing better. You probably do have lotion and stuff to fight the acne but if you don't, you should try it and see if it works.Will shaving my head get rid of forehead acne?
    the acne wont just go away, but shaving your hair will stop it getting worse as acne is uncurable, sorry :P





    advice:





    go see a GP, and they will assess the situation


    they will tell you to buy tablets, cream or medicine to help treat acne


    and finally, i know it seems obvious, but keep spot-prone areas clean, so wash the affected area twice a day with an unperfumed cleanser. The skin needs a certain amount of oil to maintain its natural condition, so it's best to use gentle soaps and not to scrub your skin too hard when washing.





    hope this helps :)
    I've heard shaving your hair helps with getting rid of acne, but that is if you put acne medicine on it too. Shaving your hair alone will not get rid of it.
    no but it will stand out more. try washing better.

    LifesIs it true toothpaste will get rid of acne/pimples?
    it has to be plain white toothPASTE NO GEL, put a good dollop on the zit, sleep with it on and thenwhen you wake up it should be dried out, wash your face well though cuz you dont want to go out with toothpaste on your face ;-)
    some friends and i used to do this in middle school. had to be the white paste, not sure why but it did seem to work. i dont know if there are medical studies for it or if it was jus three dump kids makin themselves think it worked. we jus took a lil dot, big enough to cover the pimple. let it dry then head to bed. next mornin wash it off if it were still there then tadaaah! it was gone. but rly if you gonna have pimples youre gonna have them. sucks but good luck~!
    It it only helps take out the redness sometimes. But its not very effective. Get yourself some Clean %26amp; Clear acne spot treatment. It's clear so you can't see it and can use it whenever.
    It has to be the pure white kind, you know... the old fashioned paste, not gel. It has never worked for me though.
    I think it works by drying out the area. In that case, I'd think you'd want a pretty good daub on there so it can pull out as much as possible.
    ya it does and works really well ,burns like hell though
    Yes, put a dollop, of regular plain old white toothpaste on it. It will dry out the infection. Just don't pick or the skin will be broken and the toothpaste will sting! It won't just disappear though, it will take a couple of days for some bad ones..
    actually, you are correct...unfortunately, this will be a tried and true method...you need to try varying amounts to see what is effective for you...use the good old regular white crest or Colgate...not the gels or flavoured ones...


    good luck
  • what in your opinion is bes c ide and
  • Is it true that chlorine can treat your acne problem?

    i heard it a couple time but i dont know if its true. Is it?Is it true that chlorine can treat your acne problem?
    In my experience being a swimmer, it does not. I still see a lot of swimmers with horrible face acne and back acne.Is it true that chlorine can treat your acne problem?
    Chlorine dries out your skin, making it difficult for oil to be present an acne to form. But it doesnt treat it, no. You'd have to spend days in a chlorinated pool to dry your skin completly, but it is not advisable.
    no? I use toothpaste :D
    whoa? i never heard of that. chlorine actually dries out my skin, so it might try out acne? but it usually makes it worse for me
    no it's makes yur skin worst!!!
    not true
    Chlorine will simply dry up your skin...it may give you the impression of controlling your acne problem, but it will also dry up your skin.





    Topical vitamin A is far more effective at controlloing acne problems.

    How to treat red blemishes/marks resulting from acne?

    So here's the deal:


    I already have seen my doctor and what not and have a daily routine to treat my acne.


    However, it seems as if every spot on my face where a pimple pops up, and once it disappears, it leaves a NEW red mark/blemish on my face where the pimple was. Is there an additional way to help treat this, or should I just continue with my daily routine?How to treat red blemishes/marks resulting from acne?

    Has anyone ever experienced a sudden outbreak of acne on their back after becoming pregnant?

    Just trying to figure out where my acne is coming from, I never have acne and now I have an outbreak all over my back. There could be the possibility that I am pregnant because my husband and I are trying. If I were to actually be pregnant then I could only be a few weeks. Could a symptom like this arise? I read that a sudden change in hormones can cause outbreaks, just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar.Has anyone ever experienced a sudden outbreak of acne on their back after becoming pregnant?
    I did. I never had acne on my back until I got pregnant now I always do. I hope it goes away after I have the baby.





    Hope you are pregnant! Good Luck!!!Has anyone ever experienced a sudden outbreak of acne on their back after becoming pregnant?
    I never did, but my daughter experienced somthing she'd nver had before: terrible acne on her back. This hormonal acne didn't present until a/b 5 mos along---not before she even found out she was pregnant, but everyone's different!? (OB had wonderful, pregnancy-safe remedy; do NOT use OTC remedies until you know for sure whether preg or not....some contain active ingredients that can be harmful to the baby.)





    Very, very BEST to you on the TTC!!!!!!!
    Yes a sudden increase in estrogen and progesterone can cause acne breakouts. I had acne breakouts on my face in early pregnancy. It is hard to say if it is a pregnancy symptom or a pre menstrual symptom as they kind of mimic each other. You are going to have to take test to know for sure. Good luck.
    well if your trying i hope you are :) im only 7 weeks and i have already noticed acne on my chin and chest...and i have never had that. ive had it for about 3 weeks already. sorry to say this, but it also could be a chance your hormones are changing because you are about to start...but hopefully not :) good luck!!
