Acne Problem

[godsgirl4ever]

Hi Yo'll
I'm having problem with ance & i can't get it to go away forever!
I sensitive skin so i can't use some acne meds out there like proactiv.
When i first tried it . It just turned my whole face red like i just got a sun burn or where ever i put the acne treatment from the proactiv.
I just the marykay acne treatment but i don't know if its doing anything for me.
What should i do ?

I would recommend exfoliating on a regular basis, you can get some really mild ones...I use baking soda...natural and mild! You could try a gentle wash called Spetro Derm...I had that recommended from a dermotologist years ago and I still use it.

Hope this helps!

Baking soda plus a very gentle facial cleanser like Cetaphil is a great way to exfoliate.

I swear by doing an aspirin mask once a week. You dissolve 4-5 uncoated aspirin tablets in a tiny bit of water, add a few squirts of facial cleanser and about 2-3 teaspoons of raw honey, mix together, spread on your face, let it for for about 15 minutes, then gently exfoliate as you wash off.

The other thing that I've found helps is doing stuff to support my liver, like milk thistle.

exfoliate! i have pretty sensitive skin and use st ive's apricot scrub. even if it doesnt get rid of acne, it makes your skin look a lot better and your acne less obvious. also, go to a dermatologist. when i go, they give me a bunch of free samples of acne meds. recently they gave me pills which are working wonders.

try and add raw foods to your diet, vegis and fruit work wonders on your skin I went on a no preservitive diet for a few days and my skin started clearing up in less than three days.

this is the best tip,and what models do when their skin breaks before a shoot.Water..pure good water...and this raw food will correct acne if you keep it up.

The veggies thing does work, and it makes me feel good, like I feel healthy. Also, I would recoment, not using handsoap on your face, it's bad for sensitive skin and can dry it up and make things worse. There is a proactive lotion I use, it realy does moisturize skin. Also, this may sound crazy, when I go camping in the mountains and come back, my skin is clearer. Maybe good air helps also, hehe.

I also have sensitive skin too. You could try Freshfarmacy from Lush? It is really gentle-an exfoliator would be good too.

I use Dove as well on my face and I too have hyper sensitive skin. But that dove keeps my face clear for the most part a little dry but mostly clear!!

alavera plant is really great for acne also, if you have some break it and get the gel from inside the plant and rub it on your face. it will clear it up in a week!

 

[i'm a DONKEY]

go c your doctor
or a skin place

Go see a dermatologist. ASAP.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend doing something like microdermabrasion or chemical peels. They're safe on sensitive skin... they just use lower concentrations of the stuff.

If you have more limited resources, I'd see what else the dermatologist would say. Generally, some sort of topical medicine will work at least somewhat well.

I've been dealing with the curse of acne and acne scars for 10 years now. I'm doing the extreme route (microdermabrasion and chemical peels) currently, and I'm hoping it works. My skin is fairly sensitive and I've had no problems so far.

Wow, I've never heard of the aloe vera plant helping acne. I'll definitely have to try that out! I've had an aloe vera plant for quite a few years now, and it's really grown nicely. I've only used it about 2-3 times, and that was one time I used it on this eczema I had (I think..), and the other time it was when I got burnt. Anyways, that is some awesome advice that really interests me!

Anyways, for my acne, I haven't really tried anything on it. It hasn't gotten to out of control, mostly I just cover it up with concealer & makeup. Since it is summertime, and I don't have to go to school, I've left makeup off some days, to give my skin a rest. I've also been drinking more water, which I hope helps out some.

My acne has been terrible since about 6th grade. A couple years ago I first went to the derm and he made me go through this long spew of things like antibiotics, topical creams, face washes, and chemical peels. It started to clear up in about a year and then he tried to ween me off my pills and now Im not taking them and my face is horrid. He won't put me back on them either! He is making me do another set of chemical peels. I hope they work.

I have been getting two or three bumps on my back lately.....

I had a problem with acne in high school. But now my skin is clear. It could be because I changed my diet or because I stopped using the makeup that I used to use.

Cetaphil. It's not harsh at all on your skin. It's the only thing that worked for me and I won't spend my money on anything else.
