Answer 1

um... clear and good, haha, i dunno

Answer 2

Do not squeeze zits!! Ever seen someone with a crater face?? that's how they got it. If you don't have too many zits, put a little toothpaste on them overnight (the white toothpaste not gel).

If you have a bad acne problem see a dermatologist or a doctor.

As for blackheads, you can use blackhead strips but you could end up pulling out little hair follicles as well which would result in the hairs growing out darker and longer. The best thing to do is see a Beauty therapist for the blackheads and they can remove them for you.

Answer 3

large bag of cotton balls and a bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol. It will clean you face and help dry up the oil in your skin. Do it several times a day or whenever your skin starts feeling heavy from the oil surfacing again. You should see a difference in a few days, if you pop a zit, dot it with alcohol, it will sting like crazy but the healing is quicker. Only remedy for a black head is a mirror, good lighting, and strong muscles...for squeezing those nasty disgusting things out of your pores. If you leave blackheads in the skin, it stretches the pore as oil deposits to it. when you get it out it leaves a crater sized hole on you. DO NOT use lotions or creams of any kind.

Answer 4

Baking soda: what you do is get some baking soda and wet it a little till its a paste, apply it to the area with pimples, while this doesnt actually prevent new ones, it works marvelously at fading them. You will see results in about 2 weeks i should think. What it does is dry the pimple out. Im going through the same stuff you arent alone. (Hug) gl (and dont worry most guys dont pay attention to pimples i would know as im a guy) hope i was helpful

Answer 5

You could try NutriBiotic skin cleanser from the health food store for cleansing, and a skin cream with alpha hydroxy from the health food store. Kiss My Face/Peaches & Cream is a good one, or CamoCare Face Lifting 12%. If products containing chemicals aren't helping, then maybe natural ones will do the trick. Good luck!

Answer 6

Prevention is the best treatment. Use a mild acne facial wash 2-3 times daily. I personally think Phisoderm works best.

Answer 7

If proactive doesn't work you might not have surface acne...and topicals won't be able to clear your acne.


I would suggest going to see a derm. You might be able to go on accutane, which is essentially the strongest acne drug on the market right now.

Answer 8

A facial every few months and maintain it by washing your face twice a day and then using a moisturizer. Moisture is key even with oily skin.

Answer 9

Proactiv Solution! i got this, and it works!

But don't take it when all the zits are gone. Just keep washing your face with soap. :) Don't use body soap, they are to strong. use soap for face. so that it don't leave your face dry.

Take a look at this before you try accutane!

Answer 10

I use St.Ives also but you can see a beautician to find out your true skin needs, they help alot and why not get a facial while your there.

Answer 11

plain old hydrogen peroxide 3%...in the brown bottle...use it often as you want...it doesn't normally dry out your face like other treatments....and super cheap compared to many on the market today...it does work...give it a week or 2 to really show the difference...but do it as often as you can.......good stuff
