Acne

Post Reply New Topic

I rarely ever got a pimple through high school despite the fact the I sweated every day.

I think its because I never wore make-up.

Plain and Simple, rub salt with a little bit of water on your face everyday. (when you're not getting out)
Works like magic!

I had real bad acne problems but managed to cure it in a matter of weeks by: 1. Sleeping more regularly 2. Washing my face in the morning (even if it's just a splash of water) 3. Putting sudacrem on my face before I went to bed (this last bit was my secret weapon)

I normally have zit or two, who doesn't get them once in awhile? I think it's the extra stress in my life causing my breakout right now. I have a bunch of zits along my right temple, and in my right eyebrow.

I've had acne since P6, that's when you're about 10/11 years old in Scotland (only basic pimples or two). Since then it gradually worsened to the point where I have also been told "Adam, ya' got to clean up your face sometime" and it would piss me off as every night it would seem I'm putting on 5 layers of face cream to try to calm it down. It was like that until I was about 14/15 and during a tetanus jab a nurse recommended I get acne medication from the doctors and I've been taking it for a while but it's been worth it, as I no longer have any visible spots!

Zits have gone down a bit. Thank goodness.

My acne was really bad when I was 'bout 15 so I went to a dermatologist. I rarely get any at all now

My acne is not horrible enough for me to actually try to get rid of it. So what is I can count about two dozen or so small ones on my face alone? The best I'll do is use acne-defeating body wash. Of course, I'd prefer to be without it, but my inherent laziness usually wins out here.

One of my special interests is skincare, since I used to have HORRIBLE acne... After doing these things, I rarely have a breakout. I know how you feel, and I'd love to help!
Here's what I know

I experimented and found that using a more natural cleanser works better, and the fewer ingredients that you can’t pronounce, the better. Even if you don't have sensitive skin, use it! Gentle cleansers are good for skin with acne. (Or at least use something without salacitic acid). It’s also important to wash your face twice a day, and the less makeup you wear, the better.

Make a paste from baking soda and apple cider vinegar. (Thick enough to stick to your face, but not so thick that it's hard to spread). Put it on at night for 10 minutes, and then wash it off. This mixture has a balanced pH, so it'll even out your skin's pH. It also draws all of the gross stuff out, since it's a mild exfoliant! I use this every night. It works so well, and it’s cheap!

For days when your skin is dry and red, put a mixture of honey, extra virgin olive oil, and sugar on your face (the sugar is to help the mixture stick to your face). Wash it off after 10-15 minutes. Don’t scrub though, because the sugar will hurt your dry skin if you do this. This will even it out without drying it. Honey is also a natural antiseptic, so it is good for getting rid of acne.

Health wise, drink more water! Water cleans out impurities. It's better to go from the inside out when treating acne. Also, don't eat too much sugar. This helps bacteria grow. Cayenne pepper supplements help with acne too, since it speeds up blood flow, which helps to remove impurities faster.

I apologize for this being so long, but I hope it can help!

Stop stressing over life and pop them.

I'm so sick and tiered of always looking in the mirror and seeing that my face hasn't cleared up. Even though I wash with all kinds of stuff and I have acne control medicine I still can't seem to get it to clear up. Sometimes I feel like I should just get chemical face mask treatment. Also another thing don't pop zits or pimples cause that will just lead to permanent scaring.

oh it scars only if you pick the scabs ok then. Hmm, that's funny my mom never said anything about scabs.
