what can i do to reduce them from coming out?

Answer 1

Wash your face after you come home. Drink lots of water. Eat green vegetables. Not getting a good nights sleep is also sometimes a cause of acne. Eating oily foods is also a cause a cause of acne.

Answer 2

hmmm, acne is just excess oil on your face. There are two ways to improve your acne at home:

1. Cut a lemon in half (must be fresh). Early in the morning, rub half the lemon over your acne prone areas. Lemons have a natural acid that is a drying agent and very good for your skin. In about 15mins (dont wash the lemon juice off your skin YET!) your face will begin to feel very tight....now after 20mins or so, splash some luke warm water across your face and pat dry (no rubbing) if you want you can follow with a lightweight non greasy cream.

2. Some plain yogurt and tumeric (its an eastern method---tumeric can be purchsed in the spice aisle of your local store or at an ethnic store). Mix the tumeric and yogurt into a paste. Apply this paste on your face and let sit anywhere between 15-30mins. Right away your skins texture will feel improved as tumeric is a natural clarifying agent.

Do this for a few weeks, your skin will improve.

Whether you're a teen or an adult with acne, you don't have to simply put up with it. Here are 14 ways to get rid of acne.
1. Don't pick, press, rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. If you do, you risk spreading the bacteria and increasing the chances of scarring.

2. Use an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. And it cuts down on the bacteria, too. Start with the lowest concentration, and work your way up.

3. Try over-the-counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol, which help unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. However, most dermatologists believe that benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter ingredient for acne.

4. Don't just spot-treat acne; put the product on acne-prone areas, too. That can include your entire face (avoid the lips and eyes), back, and chest.

5. Go easy on your face. Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin, not from within the plugged ducts. In fact, if you're too aggressive in your quest for cleanliness, you may end up drying out or irritating the sensitive skin on your face.

6. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a mild soap, and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water. If your skin is oily, use a soap with benzoyl peroxide for its drying properties.

7. Don't use brushes, rough sponges, cleansers with granules or walnut hulls, or anything similar on the delicate facial skin.

8. Don't use oily products, such as hair pomades, heavy oil-based facial moisturizers, or oily cleansers.

9. Use water-based make-up.

10. Don't get a facial. You may end up doing more harm than good.

11. Don't rest your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face.

12. Protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles without aggravating your acne by choosing an oil- free sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.

13. Don't worry about what you eat, unless you notice a correlation between a particular food and your skin breaking out.

14. Watch out for iodine, which can be found in multiple vitamins and iodized salt. Some doctors believe iodine may encourage acne.

Answer 5

Tetracycline (pills) is good, so is Retin-A (topically applied lotion) and Accutane (pills) is the best but very strong and should only be taken if the others don't work.

I'd suggest using something like Oil of Olay daily cleanser because it is a gentle cleanser (even on sensitive skin like mine) that won't dry out skin and smells good.

Answer 6

i had a bad acne problem i tried everything over the counter nothing worked until i went to doctor and got retin a and antibiotics 1 important thing dont pick at them it will leave scar

Answer 7

ProActive

Answer 8

Proactive does not work for everyone. Eeryones body is not the same and different medications have different results, Ive seen different people take different prescibed medication and they had different reactions.

Answer 9

No matter what people say the Pro Active does work. A little expensive but worth it.

Answer 10

Britney Spears claims that Pro-Active is the way to go. I don't really know, I just pop all my zits on the mirror. Sometimes when I'm bored, I lick them off for kicks and giggles.
