Is there away you can get really clear skin, get rid of BLEMISHES AND FRECKLES?

Answer 1

Why get rid of freckles? Freckles are cute. If you really want to tho, hope you get some help.

Answer 2

No experience with acne, but I lived with a roommate who did suffer from pretty bad acne and other skin blemishes and she claims that ProActive is the best. And I must say, her skin was much clearer after the treatment. It reduced the appearance of her freckles and moles as well as making all of her blemishes dissappear! Just remember, any dermatologist will tell you, your skin has to get worse before it will get better. Your skin works in cycles and it will have to get all the bad stuff out first, if you know what I mean. Good luck, try different products though and find out which works the best. But the more healthy your skin is, your freckles will be less noticeable. Don't give up hope!!!

Answer 3

Aside from facial transplants -- the freckles have to stay. Sorry, love. >.< Blemishes are another story, as told by a fellow and former acne sufferer. (pats on back)

If you've tried everything and you're about to just revert back to handsoap from sheer frustration -- dermatologist-given drugs really do help; I was on them for three years, and eventually went off of them because the acne problem completely stopped and the drugs were useless anymore. It basically gives your body a head-start on clearing up the infections, and you're never on them for very long.

Only do this if nothing else has worked. Don't be afraid to go expensive for facial acne cleansers -- your face is the first thing people see about you, please treasure it and spend the money! =)

Clear out the blemishes

You have tried everything to clean your skin but it is still breaking out... What to do?

It could be that you are doing too much. You are stressing out your face by constant cleaning and the result is simply more blemishes.

So then? Select a gentle cleanser and use it only two times a day. Not sure what to buy? Look at the label. Often it will state that it is especially gentle or ask a cosmetologist for a recommendation.

If you need a touch up during the day, choose an acne pad. They won't dry out your skin but will remove the shine.

What To Do About Freckles

Freckles appear early in life, increase in number during summer months and fade in winter. After the age of 40-45 they disappear, but who wants to wait?
Age spots are similar to freckles. They appear later in life and can occur in any skin type.

If you know why the discoloration occurs and take measures to prevent and treat it, you can have an even skin tone at any age.

What To Do

If you want to avoid skin discoloration, the first and the most important thing you need to do is to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen. This way your body will not need to produce more melanin (melanin is produced by the body in response to sun exposure).

Since melanin is accumulated in the upper layer of the skin, you might want to consider skin lightening and peeling. There are different products that can be used for this purpose:

Hydroquinone has been a very popular treatment, however it can irritate the skin.

Kojic acid, discovered in Japan in 1989, is a natural product derived from fungi. It is gentle on the skin and very effective in treating skin discoloration. Penetrating upper skin layers, it inhibits the formation of the pigment.

Alpha hydroxy acids help to shed the old cells faster, therefore they will be helpful as well. By removing the outer skin cells, which are usually darker, you will make your freckles or age spots lighter and less visible.

If you decide to use any of the above products, extra sun protection is imperative. If necessary, apply an SPF cream several times a day. By using skin lighteners and peels, you affect the upper darker layer. Lower layers are lighter, with less melanin present. If you don't protect your skin, it will launch its own defense mechanism producing more melanin. This will result in darker and more intensive discoloration which can be even harder to get rid of.

Please remember that skin discoloration require consistent treatment. Once you stop using lighteners and protection, the dark patches will be back. But keeping up with your skin regiment is not difficult: all you need is a gentle yet effective lightener and a moisturizer with complete UV protection - against both UVB and UVA rays.

Natural Remedies

Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid will provide gentle peeling effect without irritating or drying your skin.

Lemon juice is a time-proven freckle fighting remedy. It is not necessary to rub your skin with a piece of lemon. Applying the juice with your fingers will do the job.

Fruit and vegetable masks (apricots, strawberries, cucumbers, red currant).

Sour cream mask. Do not rinse this mask completely, just remove gently with a facial tissue, then apply a moisturizer. For oily skin - use lemon juice before applying the mask.

Natural parsley juice (or parsley infusion) mixed with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, and red currant juice under your favorite cream will help you keep your freckles invisible.

Increase your Vitamin C intake! It makes your skin less sensitive to the sun. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, apples, green onions, black and red currant, rosehip tea.
