Tips for acne treatment

1. DON’T TRY TO WASH IT AWAY
Acne isn’t caused by dirt. In fact people with oily skin have cleaner skin than average because they wash it more often. But it’s a fact that washing too much can make acne worse because it makes the skin dry and sore. So, wash no more than twice a day, using mild soap and water. If you have patches of dry skin, don’t worry about putting moisturizer on. It won’t make your acne worse. If you’re still concerned, use an oil free moisturizer.
2. DON’T NUKE ‘EM
There are lots of over the counter creams, gels, lotions and potions. Most contain a powerful bleaching agent called benzoyl peroxide. You’ll find the strength written on the label. You might be tempted to go straight for the highest sort, working on the ‘let’s nuke ‘em principle. The likely result is that you’ll irritate your skin like mad. It may also go all dry and scaly on you. But if you still are willing to bleach then use the mild one.
3. MAKE A DATE – THE TWO MONTH RULE
If you have been using over the counter remedies for two months and there is no real improvement in your spots, this is the moment to go and make an appointment with your doc.
4. YOUR DOCTOR – THE TWO MONTH RULE
The thing you are most likely to be given by the doctor is a prescription for antibiotics. These will either be topical (which means something you put on your skin) or tablets you have to take every day. Whatever treatment your doctor or pharmacist recommends, follow the instructions carefully and keep using for at least two months. There should be a noticeable improvement by this time. If not, go back to discuss other possible treatments Antibiotics are perfectly safe to take. You should take them for at least two months and then go back to your doc. If they seem to be working, he will probably tell you to keep taking them and give you some more. If they aren’t doing their stuff, don’t despair – he has loads of other spot busters in his black bag.

5. YOU ARE NOT AN ALIEN – BUT JUST BE PATIENT
Hundreds of thousands of teenagers seek help for acne. You are not alone. You are not an alien. And if people really care about you, they don’t even notice your acne, however bad you think they are. But you will need to be patient. Most treatments take time to work. At least two months. And some treatments, like antibiotics will work well but may have to be taken for months, or even years.
6. THE MONTHLY CURSE… OR EXAMS
Acne does tend to get worse just before a period. It’s because there is a surge in hormone levels at this time. But boys don’t get away lightly either. Being hot and sweaty (particularly after sports like football) makes acne worse. And for everyone, stress – particularly at exam times – is a cue for a mega breakout. This is normal – and of course, even more reason for feeling stressed. Go chill. They’ll get better – promise.
7. WATCH WHAT YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN AND HAIR
Some beauty products are big no-nos. These include pomades and defrizzing agents for hair that tend to cause an outcrop of blackheads along the hairline and some of the heavier cosmetics. And be wary of suntan oils. Not all will make you break out, but some may. Try a friend’s first before you buy. By the way, the sun might dry up acne and a tan might hide them, but your skin is still vulnerable in the sun and needs protection.
9. CARRY ON EATING CHOCOLATE
It’s a myth that eating chocolate and fried foods causes acne. However, eating a good diet improves your general well-being and this is reflected in your skin.
Common Questions asked about acne problem Does wearing make up cause acne?
It is not necessary that wearing make up causes acne. Acne is caused because of hormonal imbalance mostly during puberty. But you have to take special care while you apply make up and thereafter if you have acne. Make sure you wash any make up tools, including sponges and brushes as often as possible as these become a breeding ground for bugs which can cause your spots to pop up. Stop wearing make up if you have too many spots and you can resume after you have treated them. Don’t forget to clean the make up after you come home and make sure you cleanse your face properly each night.
Do skin toner and moisturizer cure acne?

One thing that you need to know is acne is not caused by dirt, so no amount of cleaning and toning is going to get rid of them. So for treating acne you must consult your doctor and eat lots of healthy food and drink lots of water. That is the natural way to keep you face spot free.

Is it ok to do facial?

It can be a real treat to have the facial done, as they can be very relaxing and make you feel properly pampered. However, you should be aware that they should not be used to help ‘treat’ spots, as this can be quite dangerous if the beauty therapist is not trained. Sometimes a beauty therapist will also squeeze out any spots and blackheads that if it’s not done properly, may cause a bigger problem than be

are you skye sel the one that got in a fight with vanessa if this is shhawwgg loser

u really can’t get rid of acne overnight.

the only thing i can say is that go to a spa & ask a specialist on how to get rid of it.

get 3 aspirins and put one tablespoon of water on them and mush them around, then put two tablespoons of honey on top and mix that all in, leave it on your face for 15 mins and wash with warm water. Make sure to use astrigent afterward to help clean your pores wash your face with warm water if it stinks too much. And then use Neutrogena healthy defense daily moisturizer after the astrigent. and then use Clearasil ultra the rapid action treatment cream and apply only to your blemishes. Make sure not to scratch or apply and make up while youre doing this treatment, do not go outside after using this so it is better to do it at night before you go to bed. keep your face clean and wash with Cetaphil for gentle cleansing. You can get all these objects at target or walmart. dont mix this in with other treatments. Drink lots of water and eat apples and oatmeal it will help with your skin. I used to have bad acne so i went to the doctor and that has help me ever since, and now i have clear skin, hopefully this will work for you too. if you have any questions just e-mail me at labeba_dino@yahoo.com

oh and i almost forgot do the aspirin thing only 2 times a week

i had the same problem!!!!actually i noticed a a few weeks ago that none of them work!!!!!!!!!here’s what im doing to reduce the pimples black/white heads (it’s working so far!!!!:D)
first clean your face really well for a few minuets everyday then dry your face and put toothpaste on it-like a face mask-
if you are taking a bath then do it before you get in the bath and keep it on then as soon as your about to get out wash your face -so the chemicals in the toothpaste have a chance to work-and you’ll see a pretty big difference!!!
but you should do it everyday for a while-maybe a few weeks or so it’ll go away(depends on how much you do it) but before you do this i think you might test it incase your skin is alittle sensitive!!!

also i know that at the beginning of everytime you use it, it’ll usually sting your eyes(or maybe because i use the minty type of toothpaste!lol!)

also because you want it gone over night do it at night and in the morning and itll be twice as effective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope it helped!!!!!!!!!!!

oh ya p.s DONT try and pop pimples(learned hard way!) if you do it will just spread AND cause marks-not cool looking ones but sort of hole looking marks
