Answer 2

I still get pimples and I'm 28 so it doesn't always go away when your older. I had terrible acne when I was 21and nothing over the counter helped so I went to dermatologist and it cleared up dramatically. I know you don't want to go to a dermatologist but that's what their trained in and a lot of times they can give you medication that is stronger than what you can buy at the store. If you are embarresed like I was going to the derm. dont be that's what they are there for and they have seen it all before. Also if you have a poor diet or some kind of allergy to a certain food that could help to trigger your acne but most of the time its hereditary and you really just have to take extra care of your skin. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

I wouldn't advise to use soap, doesn't really work. Try some of the over the counter stuff for treatment at the local chemist, if that doesn't work try and get some prescribed stuff from your doctor. Proactiv works quite well I\from what i've heard from people, but either way, you'll probably want to exfoliate a couple of times a week, make sure you keep your skin clean, but don't clean it too often or scrub too much otherwise it will get worse! Stuff with Benzyl Peroxide is usually good for getting rid of pimples, but it can be quite strong and can bleach clothes, so be careful. Drink plenty of water, although eating bad foods doesn't necessarily cause pimples, eating good foods such as fruit and veg will certainly do you some good. Try to avoid makeup (maybe only for special occasions) as it can clog pores. If all else fails, try a dermatoligst. Good luck! :-)

Answer 4

It's fairly normal but it probably means you are stuck with acne for life. The biore strips or peel-off type mask can remove your blackheads. Eat a diet high in vegetables, fruits, fish (especially salmon), nuts and plant oils. Make sure to get plenty of avocados, orange and dark green veggies.

If you have one of those huge pimples that hurt (you said it was killing you) that is stress acne and you need to manage stress to prevent them. Buy some chamomile tea bags, put the bags in hot water and then put it on your big pimple to reduce the swelling. Get a facial. If you can't afford it buy a good maske and use it regularly. Get on of those face streamers and use it to open your pores more, then apply the strips or whatever blackhead remover and they will work better.

Go to an organic market and get facial products made by aubreys or dr haushka or zia or any of those good organic brands. Don't use any harsh chemical products on your skin - no benzoil peroxide or salicytic acid - they aren't good for adult acne. Use tea tree oil instead as a spot treater for larger pimples and just a regular cleanser and maske for everything else. If your skin is very oily a toner is good also but make sure it is a ph balanced one as idealy all your products should be.

Answer 5

I never had a problem with pimples or acne until I was in my twenties. It's caused by stress, hormones, oily skin, going to bed with makeup on, picking someone else acne and touching your face (acne is a bacteria in the pores of your skin), and various other reasons. Everyone gets acne for different reasons.

I've tried everything under the sun. My husband and I have tried every product you can find in stores, we tried Proactive and he even did two rounds of Accutane. Nothing has ever worked.

I recently tried something a friend of mine was selling through her company. It has worked so well, I joinded as a consultant.

Find Beauticontrol on the net. The "All Clear" line of skin care is the answer to your adult acne.

The set costs $59.50 and lasts three to five months depending on how often you use it. I use it twice a day, my husband uses it once and our first set lasted almost five months. So if just one person is using it, I'm sure it will last longer.

If you would like to try it, go to my web page

beautipage.com/sacevedo

They will send me a notice and I will send you instructions I've written from my experience. I will also send you a 25% rebate in the mail. Be sure to put all your correct info and your e-mail address if you feel that comfortable so that I can let you know I got your information and that I've sent your stuff in the mail.

If you don't trust me, then just go to the Beauticontrol main page and order. If you like it then, use my web page later to contact me. It really is the best products I've ever used. If you can find someone in your area that would be even better because this company offers 100% money back guarantee, but you have to be able to get the unused product back to the consultant and I live in Illinois.

They also have products for the black marks, I'll send you a problem solver page to determine what you would think is best for your skin.

Answer 6

If you have a pimple that is inflamed in hurting, put an ice cube on it. The ice will help with the pain and swelling. I know you already know this but I will say it anyway--Don't pick!! I think that is one thing that causes the marks. Stay out of the sun, it seems to help at first but it will only make it worse. look up home remedies on the web and treat your face like a new born babies skin. Be gentle what ever you do.

Answer 7

Try using Proactiv.. I just started about 2 weeks ago.
It's a GOD send. Im 22 and still get them. Worse than ever. Try using the Proactiv 2 times a day.
1-888-955-3838
That's the number for ordering Proactiv.
Good luck.
Oh and clean and clear has somethikng called Persa-Gel
Its a blemish SPOT remover. VERY effective for helping remove pimples FASTER.

Answer 8

I see where someone has listed 47 steps to help you with pimples none of them I think involves a good nights sleep. Where would you find the time for it. Bathe the body and wash the face, drink water and have a good nights rest. Eat a well balanced diet. Get a book called Foods that Alkali and Heal and get a small bottle of Cell Food (heavy hydrogen water) at the health food store. The drops of the heavy water should be put in distilled water and or fresh fruit and or vegetable juice.

Cut down on stress in your life for patience has its own reward.

Answer 9

I had a face that looked like it had caught fire and someone put it out with a rake until I was 39 when I finally went to a dermatologist. By the time I was 40 the acne was cleared up and I looked (and felt) fine. The expense of the lotions and potions I tried over the years was considerably more than what I paid for doctor, so I heartily recommend seeing a dermatologist.

Answer 10

A dab of tea tree oil on the pimple will clear it up. Pimples do not know age. I know someone who is 45 years old and she still gets pimples around her cycle.

Use the tea tree oil in the morning and night. Just a dab on the pimple itself. It will dry it up.

Answer 11

i just telling you right now, i am not a doctor, but have you looked at what your eating, that can cause pimples.....i use Neutrogena Clear Pore/Cleanser Mask(it's in a little bottle that is about 4 oz. and has blue and orange on it)....you can use it as a quick wash or as a mask and the first time that you use it, omg, you will feel it working, well it did for me
