Answer 1

Having 'Spot or Acne' does not mean you are a dirty person. In fact soap can dry out and irritate skin causing a spotty problem. Get the right products for your skin, e.g If you have oily skin buy for that. I suggest you use facial washes instead of soap and remember to tone and moisturise too. Get the right routine and your skin will look better.

I have found some info that is for both men and women I hope this helps you, as I do not know your age or skin type so this is vast info for different ages.

Skincare by the Decades

In Your 20s...
Swear by sunscreen. Sure, you're probably not thinking about wrinkles and brown spots now -- but they'll creep up on you faster than you can imagine (as early as 30!). And since most of the visible aging we experience is a result of sun damage, preventing it now is the only way to go. Use an SPF 15 sunscreen daily; most skincare lines make daily moisturizers with sunscreen already in them.

Use salicylic acid. Unfortunately, your skin isn't completely out of the acne stage just yet. That's why a once-daily salicylic acid lotion is a good idea -- it helps nix blackheads and pimples. Look for one in a lotion formula, to add a bit of moisture.

Try AHAs. To get a jump on anti-aging, begin experimenting with AHA products now. We like the idea of a gentle AHA facial lotion at night.

In Your 30s...
Add eye cream. This is the time you're likely to see those first fine wrinkles under and around your eyes. Help plump them up by using an eye preparation daily. Try a light cream if your skin tends to be dry, or a cooling gel if you're oily.

Go for mild retinols. Over-the-counter retinol products can help minimize the formation of fine lines and begin to boost collagen production deep in the skin. You don't need prescription-grade retinoids at this point -- good news, since OTC retinols are gentler.

See your dermatologist. Start a yearly derm habit, so your doctor can check you for suspicious (read: precancerous) moles and other skin conditions that tend to show up in your 30s, such as rosacea.

And keep up that sunscreen habit!

In Your 40s and 50s...
Choose a richer eye cream. The eye area is drier than the rest of your face by nature. In your 40s and 50s, however, that dryness can become more dramatic (making wrinkles more prominent). That's why it's a good idea to switch to an eye product that's richer and creamier than the one you used in your 30s.

Try prescription retinoids. At this point in your skin life, you need stronger retinoids to beat wrinkles. That strength can only be found in prescription products such as Renova and Retin-A. Retinoids have been shown to reduce the depth of wrinkles and to boost collagen production in the skin, making wrinkles less likely to form. A bonus: Retinoids also exfoliate the skin, which is important since older skin is slower to naturally slough off dead skin cells.

Lighten with hydroquinone. If you see dark spots on your skin, try a lightening preparation. Products containing the ingredient hydroquinone gradually lighten dark spots. Tip: Use hydroquinone products all over your face, not just on dark spots; if you spot-treat, you'll end up with light spots where your dark ones once were.

Last but not least, don't leave the sunscreen behind -- you still need to use it daily!

Answer 2

How old are you, you may be washing your face too often. If your face is too clean it has no natural defences. When you wake up and before you go to bed should be sufficient. You could go to your pharmacy and ask their advice on a suitable cleanser. Have you always used the same soap? There may have beena small change in the ingredient that does not agree with your skin. have you changed your diet or started drinking a lot of alcohol?

Answer 3

The PH balance of body soap could affect the ph of your skin, use something that is very neutral. and drink plenty of water. it is a possibility it is a combination of hormones and the soap you are using. Steaming your face is good. boil the kettle pour the water into a bowl and put a towel over your head and lean over the bowl, becareful not to burn yourself try and stay under it for at least 5 min. this will open your pores and clean then out. Splash your face with cool water afterwards. Get a face mask as well this is great for deep cleaning.

Answer 4

the skin does get 'tired' of the same products and you may have a change in your hormonal levels or your diet or stress levels that can affect your skin. try a soap free facial wash like 'simple' and then a light moisturiser like simple again so it has no perfumes. twice a day should be enough. soap strips the skin and may increase the oil levels or make it dry and block the pores. if you can afford it try a facial at a salon and get some advice from a beauty therapist. lots of guys are doing this nowadays and a guy who looks after himself is very attractive.

Answer 5

This happened to me too, I'd only ever had the odd breakout before and then suddenly I ended up covered in the damn things.. try changing your facial products first, the soap is probably too harsh, and consider if there have been any changes in your life - stress or diet could cause problems - in my case, I'd been a bit stressed, then I decided to redecorate my whole house, and the fumes from the paint just exacerbated the condition. If nothing you try personally seems to work, go and see your doctor asap, who will refer you to a dermatologist - I got some cream called Isotrex (I think) which cleared the problem up in weeks. Good luck!

Answer 6

Maybe your skin is changing, perhaps you should use a product, instead of soapy water; try exfoliating, and cleansing, then moisturise, it works for me, and I've never had many spots. Maybe you shouldn't wash your fash so often, I know it sounds dumb, but I wash my face when I wake up, and then at nighttime to remove my make-up and it works for me.

Answer 7

Take all Spots back down the Pet-Shops.

Answer 8

Ordinary soap can make you spotty, use an antibacterial face wash instead.

Answer 9

PROBABLY IF YOU WERE TO WASH THE REST OF YOUR BODY AT LEAST ONCE A DAY THEN IT MIGHT HELP.

REVIEW YOUR DIET, STOP SMOKING AND DRINK PLENTY OF GOOD WATER
