Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

I use pure aloe. I have an aloe plant in front of my house and every night before bed I break off a leaf, slice off the thorny sides and then cut it so that the broadest part of the inside of the leaf is exposed. I smear the aloe gel directly onto my face and by morning I see a noticeable improvement. It doesn't smell good but having clear skin outweighs the bad odor (besides, the unpleasant odor only lasts maybe 5 minutes, tops). Just make sure you let the aloe dry before actually going to bed so that your pillow doesn't get messed up. If you have active acne, you will feel a slight burning sensation but it isn't terrible. As the aloe dries, it will make your skin feel tight (like an egg feels, if you've ever put egg white on your face). However, by morning, your skin won't have that "tight" feeling but it will look A LOT clearer. I have mild acne and use aloe nightly. If you have more severe acne, try using it in the a.m. and in the p.m. for faster results. Over time, the aloe will also help reduce any skin discoloration you may have that was caused by old acne. I have tried other natural acne treatments as well as prescription acne meds but aloe has been the best ever. I don't recommend using any kind of processed aloe (even bottles that say "100% aloe vera". You want it go directly from the plant to your face.

As far as not eating greasy or oily food or chocolate. Total myth. Granted there not good for you, but that's not gonna make your skin go crazy as long as you eat it in moderation. First of all since I don't know the type of skin you have it's hard to tell you exactly what you need to do. If you face is dry and overly sensitive you have to choose what you use carefully. Nothing with alcohol, or any type of acid in it. Also make sure it's oil free. That will just sit on your face not absorb. If you do get zits use spot treatments. Don't smear them all over. You could use a q-tip with some hydrogen peroxide ir tee tree oil. It drys them out. Keep the sun screen on. Cut down on makeup wearing it can clog pores. Don't ever clean, Splash your face in the morning them put on some moisturizer. Clean it at night to get all the dirt from the day off. Don't use a scrub or face mask so it won't be to harsh or dry your skin out. Seriously if it's red get some eye drops for really red eyes. Put some on and let it dry and it helps with any inflammation. If all else fails go see a doc. There's a lot of things they can recommend. Rather OTC or persciption. Things to help with breakout and inflimation, Tips on what to do and not to do. Hope some of that helps.

St Ives has great products, check out their site

use a moisturizer after washing your face because the active ingredients in acne washes (salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide) dry out your skin a lot

to reduce redness buy an aloe vera plant, cut it and smear the ooze from the inside on your face for like 2 weeks..you should see a difference

Answer 7

Hands down Arbonne's clear advantage line. It is botanically based and amazing. It has a supplement with it that balances your skin from the inside out. You want to make sure your products contain no mineral oil as mineral impedes the absorption of good ingredients in products. You can check it out at www.arbonne.com you can only order through a your own wholesale account. If you are interested in setting up an account let me know [e-mail]

Tea Tree Oil is known to help with acne

Answer 9

tea tree is good advice, but also lavender. It's very calming.

You could also try exfoliating more regularly, say 2 -3 times per week. Just add a handful of oats or bran to your normal cleanser to create a gentle, inexpensive scrub.

A supplement such as ecchinaccea may also help.
