Acne & Dry Skin ?

Question

Ok, so I have acne, it's not horrible or anything, but it's still there. My mom got me acne cream, I used it and it worked wonders. It's all gone now, but the problem is I have very dry skin, it's peeling and everything. Is there anything that would help make it go away. And is there any acne treatment that won't dry my face out this bad!!

Answer 1

The problem is that usually the ingredients of the acne control usually are formulatted with benzoyl peroxide, this ingredient is very strong and it overdries your skin. When using acne products look for salycilic acid instead, this is powerful and will not overdry your skin but will control the acne. also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. i had strugle with acne for over 9 years and i have tried everything and visited every doctor and done everything as they said and nothing helped me ever microdermabration... until i tried these botanically based products formulated qithout mineral oil and without animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their "beauty" products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly ....I use arbonne products.... http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com (under shop online) because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, as i told you before i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much thanks their line clear advantage , it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back ....you have nothing to loose only dry skin and some acne ;~)

No because dry skin irritates the skin and acne. You don't want to irritate it. The healthier and cleaner the skin the better. So that's why whenever you wash your face you always moisturize. Always. If you buy a box set of stuff to rid acne they will always have a moisturizer. When you wash you take the ph out and so you have to balance it. I believe that's what the toner is for. And then you need to put the moisture back in. I used to think that with it dry it will dry up the acne. It's not true. Just complicates it.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Acne Problems

What’s Acne?

Acne is a term that’s used to describe whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. (You may well recognize slang terms like spots, or zits). Most teenagers get the type of acne called acne vulgaris, which can show up on the face, neck, shoulders, back, and chest. Skin pores contain oil glands which naturally lubricate your skin and hair. But sometimes if a pore gets clogged beneath the skin with excess oil and bacteria, the dreaded acne is caused...

Whiteheads happen when a pore gets clogged, closes, and then bulges out. If a pore gets clogged but stays open, the top may darken and you've got a blackhead. A pimple happens when dead skin and bacteria work their way under live skin. This leads to a small infection that makes your skin look red.

What Causes Acne?

Although everyone is different, acne is usually caused by the build up of oil and dead skin in a pore. This build up of oil and dead skin is caused because of:


Natural hormones. These are particularly active in your teens.
Plugged skin. Lots of skin cells can close the oil glands or pores, creating blackheads or whiteheads, (as mentioned earlier).
Bacteria. Bacteria can easily infect oil glands and pores and grow very quickly.
Family background. If you have acne, your kids are more likely to have it too.
How To Reduce An Acne Problem


You shouldn’t squeeze, pick, scratch, or rub your skin as it makes the problem worse, and it might even cause scarring.
Regularly shampoo your hair, and try to keep it off your face if possible - especially at night.
Keep a food diary to work out if you are one of the few people whose acne gets worse if they eat certain things.
Exercise regularly to get the old blood flowing, and make sure you get a wash as soon after as possible.
Avoid unnecessarily touching your face.
If possible, try to minimize your stress levels.
Avoid getting sunburned.
Change your wash cloth every day, as bacteria can grow on damp cloth.
Wash your face twice a day with a gentle soap like Dove or Lever 2000.
Always rinse really well with lots of water.
Only wear makeup on special occasions, and then make sure you remove it completely.
Granular facial scrub can make acne worse by aggravating the skin.

Answer 9

Acné, qué feo...
Yo mismo he pasado por un problema grave de acné y me he dado cuenta de que todos los medicamentos que existen para curar el acné en realidad sólo son remedios temporales para los síntomas, y algunos de ellos son agresivos para nuestro propio cuerpo y pueden llegar a hacernos daño si tenemos algún descuido.
¿Mi consejo? Que ataques a la raíz del acné y no a sus síntomas. Toma este enlace, es de lo mejor que hay, y mucha suerte:
