I NEED t-home or cheap remedies for this!Skin At-Home/DIY remedies for bad acne, OILY, blackhead, acne scarred skin?
Im going to save and get microdermabrasion. It really reduced my sisters acne scars. Its worth paying the extra because you will end up wasting money on failed products or even make it worse. Over the counter products are for people who have minor problems. Scars can be fixed. if not by Microdermabrasion then another non surgical procedure. You must visit a pro for these procedures. They are expensive but your face it worth it. So start savingSkin At-Home/DIY remedies for bad acne, OILY, blackhead, acne scarred skin?
Okay! Well first of all keep yourself hydrated eat a lotttttttt of fruits and vegetables and swear not to eat greasy food more than once a month.





Acne is extremely complicated. One expensive thing you can do is consult a dermatologist. But the medicines you will get from a doctor and stuff like proactive and all wont work for long.





To get rid of blackheads first you need to loosen them. what you can do it soak a towel in hot water and gently place it over your face, make sure its not too hot; do it however it feels comfortable. Another way of doing this is steam your face. Just boil some water in a open bowl or something then place your face over at safe distance, cover your face and bowl with towel to steam nicely. Make sure to take breaks when its hard to breathe or too hot. Do this for about 5-8 minutes then i would recommend clean and clear blackhead eraser. Or you can mix curd with baking soda and gently rub it on your entire face then wash your face with warm water. Most black heads will go away for the hard ones you can wrap paper towel around your index fingers and press the surface around blackheads and they will come out. Dont press too hard you will scar your face.( if your gnna do that make sure to steam your face first!)





For acne you can mix gram flour, curd, baking soda, honey and sugar. Apply it as a mask then leave for 20-25 minutes. wash with cold water.





I'll include a website you can check. There are a million things you can do to keep your skin healthy.


Stay away from lotions that have oil in, in fact any products that have oil in it and wash your face 10-15 times a day with cold water, it increases blood circulation. I hope u get better soon %26lt;3
I sometimes just end up beginning on sale and using tons products. Do what seems right and Im pretty sure your instinct will be correct.

My ten year old son has really bad acne. what treament will he be able to have at his age?

we came back from spain last week and his break out is worse than ever . face neck ,shoulders . already using a antibiotic solution on him and other creams but not helped. he feels embarrassed because none of his friends have spots. he is quite big for his age . help!!!!My ten year old son has really bad acne. what treament will he be able to have at his age?
PROACTIVE works. IDK if it'll work for him being that he is so young but trying cant hurt. its only 20 bucks for a 30 day trail version %26amp; thats a good deal.Make sure that he is keeping his hand out of his face also washing his face w/ a non- oild based facial wash ( try Neutrogena) %26amp; keep him away from the sweets (ie sodas %26amp; juice). Also he really only needs to wash his face twice a day- there is a such thing as over washing. Remember to get oil free moisturizer - when he wakes up %26amp; before he goes to bed is the only time he needs to wash or after playing outside %26amp; sweatingMy ten year old son has really bad acne. what treament will he be able to have at his age?
Few things are important. He should drink good amount of water everyday. Avoid oily foods. I also suggest you these products available at http://www.naturallabs.co.uk/acne,44.htm鈥?/a> :





1. Acnezine ( http://www.naturallabs.co.uk/1,acnezine.鈥?/a> )


2. Hydroviton.CR ( http://www.naturallabs.co.uk/49,hydrovit鈥?/a> )


3. Revitol Spot Gel ( http://www.naturallabs.co.uk/16,revitol-鈥?/a> )





Use any one of them. They are recommended by several dermatologists and they are natural too.





I hope it helps.
Hi Sandra,





The cause of pimples is bacteria and oil trapped in the skin and tea tree oil kills bacteria you can dab a bit of tea tree oil on the infected area. It is a good idea to wash the skin first to remove any oils and dirt that might be blocking the way. Studies in Australia have proven that tea tree oil kills bacteria including Propionibacterium which is the main cause of acne.





Oil is obtained from the Melaleuca alternifoliais tree from Australia. It is very effective against Acne as it contains bacteria-fighting substances called Terpenes. The Terpenes either outright kill them or weaken them enough to be destroyed by protective antibodies. There are very little side effects from using Tea Tree Oil.





If you have an acne problem, search out products which contain tea tree oil for a safe solution. Although it is used as a topical solution for different types of cleaning and infections, it might be a good idea to find a tested product that will benefit your skin in other ways as well.





Also, the watery gel from Aloe Vera plant is a highly effective natural cure against Acne. The enzyme-rich gel has very soothing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It can also be taken internally and helps clean up and detox the digestive tract. This in turn can help clear up the skin.





Gel or juice of Aloe Vera is highly useful in fading of acne scars. You can grow Aloe Vera plant in your home and apply freshly taken pure Aloe Vera gel to your scar. Otherwise many branded cosmetic companies manufactures pure Aloe Vera gel, so you can choose the best cosmetic companies to get Aloe Vera gel.





Vitamin A is also a natural and effective Acne cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.





Vitamin E also helps in countering Acne. It is a natural antioxidant and beneficial for the skin.





For more information check out the website http://www.trustwilliam.com/en-GB/Ingred鈥?/a> http://www.trustwilliam.com/Personal-Hyg鈥?/a> . You'll see the ingredients are 99.9% Pure Aloe Vera Gel with 'Vitamins A,C %26amp; E' and with 'Tea Tree'.





Hope this helps keep his acne %26amp; scars at bay!!
My brother took a course of Retinol A as a teenager which did wonders for his very severe acne.





It's available on the NHS.
You can have different treatments on the NHS if its serious, Skin peels are really effective, I used to have really bad skin and i got them done, its quite expensive but works wonders... Talk to your local doctor about it.
diet and wash face keep clean.

Judging from personal experience do you think eating pizza directly affects how bad your acne can get?

LOL...greasy foods..cause acneJudging from personal experience do you think eating pizza directly affects how bad your acne can get?
no but keep your greasy hands off your face! always wash your hands before you touch your face, and after, and basically try to keep your hands off your face as much as possible, except when cleaning it.Judging from personal experience do you think eating pizza directly affects how bad your acne can get?
Yea, that and Genetics.

My coverup always looks liike a mask. i have really bad acne so need some good coverage help! yeh?

ive tried bareminerals and love it but it doesnt give enouf coverage so i started to but on some concealer like liquid clique brand and then bareminerals. it still looks really bad. helpMy coverup always looks liike a mask. i have really bad acne so need some good coverage help! yeh?
If you have really bad acne then technically you shouldn't really be putting make-up on, god I sound like my Mother sorry :P





But I think if you really need to put make-up on then you need to put a make-up base on first then this will give your make-up a better surface to go on to, rather than going on to damaged skin.





I don't have acne so you could choose to totally disregard this if you want to, but at a certain time of the month I get really bad spots and I find that a foundation like Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation works really well to reduce the look of them. Also if your spots come up really red, then if you place an ice cube on it then this will reduce the redness. I hope you find this useful :) .My coverup always looks liike a mask. i have really bad acne so need some good coverage help! yeh?
Try using Max Factor stick foundation. If your trying to cover-up anything it works really well. Just try to get a shade that's as close to your natural skin color as you can. If your face is really red from acne, try matching it to the color on your neck just below your chin. My sister-in-law uses it to cover-up all of the freckles on her face and it really works. If you get the right color it should look fine.
Well what i do is i have covergirl liquid foundation i dab a little bit of that on my blemishes as a concealer it takes away the color.Then i use sheercover foundation then your skin looks 100% better and it doesnt look pasty beccause you mostly just use powder foundation it absorbs oil to.i love it.works great for me.And i have acne to.
if you have bad acne you should be staying AWAY from ANYTHING that will cover your pores. what you need to do its wash your face in the morning, when you get home from school/work and at night with a REALLY good exfoliating cleanser.





cover-up will only make it worse. if you do use it, stick with bareminerals, and stay away from ANYTHING oil based, like liquids. powders will be your best bet to keep from clogging your pores and making it worse.
use liquid concealer on all the blemishes, then rub it in really well.


powder ur face with a brush uing the bare minerals, it evens out the skin and makes u look smooth and natural.





i strongly suggest using acnefree terminator during the weekends or breaks. it will cure ur acne and blackheads in 2-3 weeks, and u wont have to use coverup any more!
If you have bad acne and try to cover it up with makeup, you're just going to make the acne worse. Plus your face is always going to look pasty.





What you should do is accept - for the time being - that your skin doesn't look great. Focus on keeping your skin clean so the acne will go away.

  • Im gettin some bad acne. ive had pro-activ, but it didnt work. What will work?

    i hate acne . i want my face to be clear.Im gettin some bad acne. ive had pro-activ, but it didnt work. What will work?
    i used proativ and that never worked so now I use noxzema and it works great!Im gettin some bad acne. ive had pro-activ, but it didnt work. What will work?
    My Grandma used to wash her face with Noxzema every day and when I got to the teenage years, I started doing the same. I never really had any acne because I used it so it seemed to work great. Wash your face with it every night before bed and in the morning when you wake up. Noxzema is cheaper than buying most of the acne creams and solutions and seemed to work better too. Just get a dime/nickel sized scoop in your hand and put a little warm water on it and rub it in all around your face (especially around the mouth, nose, and forehead). Then let it sit while you brush your teeth or warm up the shower (at least let it sit for a few minutes). Then wash it off after you are done brushing your teeth or when you get in the shower using a wash cloth (use a separate wash cloth for this purpose ONLY, don't use the same one you wash your body with or else you will just put the dirt and possible bacteria from your body to your face causing acne in the first place). This is what I did and not only did it keep the acne away, but it makes your face get that tingly clean feeling. I'm a guy and although most guys don't admit they use skin care products, I stand by this one all the way! There are numerous types of Noxzema out there, just use one that suits you best (sensative, deep cleansing, etc).
    there are alot of things to consider.. is your face oily? It coudl be your diet too or just puberty.. try and use a wash that doesnt over moisturize to leave your skin oily causing to break out more.. stay away from chips and other greasy foods.. try n never touch your face with your hands.. avoid popping.. and use a mild cleanser - try the refg. neutrogena bar soaps, but pick the best on for your skin type.. also watch foods with high acid like sauce or tomatos... also change of seasons also seem to cause break outs... and you may have allergies that easily irritate your skin leading to more break outs i knwo my brother for some reason cant eat strawberries in the spring he breaks out... also there is this stuff Caliphil i think that is good too its a gentle soap for cleaning your face.. and make sure u wash it before bed to keep it clean..
    It depends on your skin type. Not everything works for everyone. I tended to go to a bigger store (carsons, macys, bergners) to get my skin type and then go from there. Also, when you start using a product you tend to break out more before it goes away. Good luck!
    Did you follow the proactiv 100% (I ask because my teens get lazy and if they skip steps then they break out).


    Also using the mask helps a lot.





    If Proactiv doesn't help it's time to call a dermatologist.


    As I feel nothing on the market matches the steps of proactiv


    if you do it 100%.

    Please help me I have really bad acne on my shoulder blades and I want it gone for summer!?

    So I have extremely bad acne on my back and it is making my skin turn a funny purple red colour and it is disgusting. I want it to ge gone for summer so that I don't have to worry about it. How can I make it go away for good?





    (I live in NZ it is summer in December)Please help me I have really bad acne on my shoulder blades and I want it gone for summer!?
    Use an acne body wash for the time being, and schedule an appointment with a dermatologist so you can get either a topical or oral treatment. I used to have bacne and it's not too bad now!Please help me I have really bad acne on my shoulder blades and I want it gone for summer!?
    Kate, Whether acne appears on the face, neck, chest or back鈥he underlying cause is the same鈥?hair follicles and pores get clogged owing to excessive sebum (oily hormonal secretion from the seaceous glands on the skin鈥檚 surface. Dead skin cells become trapped and together with the sebum, bacteria attacks and produces acne.





    The first step in back acne treatment is to wear loose clothing鈥specially in Summer when there is a tendency to get hot and sweaty. This can further compound the problem by irritating the condition.





    A fantastically effective and economical exfoliant can be found in most households in the form of bicarb soda, or baking soda (not baking powder)





    It costs only a couple of dollars to buy from the local supermarket (Arm and Hammer is a popular brand)





    It is gentle, and safe. Apply a paste of 3 parts Baking soda to 1 part water in a gentle circular motion after washing back with soap and water. Rinse off. This natural exfoliant will slough off dead skin gently without the use of harsh chemicals. Do it 2-3 times a week.





    If you can get someone to do it for you鈥hat鈥檚 even better. It can be quite awkward on your own.





    The next step once the skin on the back is clean and dry is to apply an effective bacne treatment. Topical cream or gel made from 4% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 or Niacin) is an ideal choice. Niacinamide or Nicotinamide as it is sometimes called is great to get rid of bacne. It is fast acting, not harsh on your skin, and the New York University College of Medicine proved it as effective as the leading topical prescription medication, Clindamycin.





    The 4% Niacinamide cream should be applied once or twice (many people find once per day sufficient) per day. Good times are before bed at night and upon awakening in morning before getting dressed. Unlike Benzoyl peroxide, Niacinamide will not stain clothes and sheets鈥nd will not dry out the skin excessively.





    4% Niacinamide鈥est back acne cure to get rid of your bacne





    Good Luck Kate!
    You probably sweat alot there. Try an antibacterial soap like Dial or Neutragena. If you workout or play sports or whatever try to shower after or aleast wipe down and change your shirt. Apply antibacterial lotion ( the one I like it from Neutragena). If this doesn't help you may need antibiotic treatment for a few months. WARNING: It will get worse before it gets better. The medication might make you nauseous.

    Is it bad that guys with really bad acne freak me out? Am i alone in this?

    I think it's natural that ackne freaks you out , from what I understand we are instinctivley attracted to healthier humans so that when we re-produce our off spring have a higher chance of survival





    Some indicators are Skin quality , muscle condition , height , weight , hair condition/length etc etc.





    There are diseases that affect skin condition so it's possible that naturaly your not attracted to him because of these factors , however I may be completley wrong.
    9 out of 10 teens are affected by acne... its just a part of life
    It's not freaky. its just kinda gross. but girls get it too. and its just a part of growin up :]
