Answer 2

1 How old are you? How old were you when you started breaking out? I'm 18 now. I started breaking out when I was 16. Never really had much acne before then. 2 Is your skin always clear, do you get spots sometimes, or do you almost always have a breakout? I get pimples near my period. I usually get one of two somewhere around my mouth, and maybe the odd one around my forehead. They usually clear up once my period's done though. 3 What face wash do you use? Clean and Clear Morning Burst (the purifying one in the blue bottle). 4 Do you use face masks or scrubs or anything? What kind? I use St. Ives products for this. I use their clay firming mask at night (sometimes I skip it, but I try to do it quite a few nights a week). I also use their Apricot scrub once or twice a week. 5 What brand make up do you wear? What do you wear (foundation, concealor?, ect) Just drug store brands. I like Maybelline and Cover Girl products. I change the brand I use frequently because I'm looking for the best product for my skin (most of the best products I've used are Cover Girl). 6 How much makeup do you wear? Usually just concealer, foundation, and a bit of mascara. Sometimes some eyeshadow too. 7 What spot treatments do you use? Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5. I put that on any pimples before I go to bed. 8 Do you eat junk food or healthy? I eat both healthy foods and junk food. Probably a bit too much junk food, but oh well. I also drink a lot of water. Water's a big help.

Hi Ruby, first don't prick it out, even you don't feel good about it. Second washing your face with non-soap, wild, hypo-allergenic for oily skin cleanser regularly (but non too much). And never go to bed with your make-up on. About the home remedy I have some, wash your face calamansi juice. Leave it for about 3 mins. it will be itchy at first (but don't scrach). Do it only once daily preferably in the morning. Give more emphasis on the parts with scar. What I do is I put some at the affected areas leaving it for 3 mins then put some to the whole face and wait for another 2-3 mins. You can add skin lightener if you like. Hope this will help you.

I don't know of any home remedies. I had the same problem that you have,but my skin is very pale,but i would get the scars and marks that would leave a brown mark. I use Murad acne medication. It works really good. I tried the Proactive stuff, but it seemed to make my acne worse, I'm sure it works for some people though. The marks that you have will probably fade in time. I noticed that if I use a loofah and scrub the marks they get lighter because some of that is just old dead skin.

Answer 5

I have same problem before, now, i rarely have acne breakouts though some marks are still there but cane easily be hidden with the right foundation. I had been taking tetracycline orally in 1 month and sometyimes i experimented putting the powder of the tetracylcine capsule when i wash my face at night and leave it all night and it effective for me but i recommend you to go to a dermatologist.

Answer 6

Hi Ruby! The first thing I will tell you is not to prick your pimples as it will leave a scar. Secondly put white sandal paste on the affected spots You can also use coconut water on the affected spots. To get rid of pimples you have to make your system clean from inside by drinking fresh fruits, vegetables and lot of water. U can put toothpaste on the pimples to get rid of them. I'm not joking.
