What is causing these blemishes?There are several factors that contribute to the onset of skin blemishes in adults. Cosmetics and toiletries may clog pores. Such products include foundations, night creams, and moisturizers.You may need to change your make-up.
Increased sebum production is, to a great extent, caused by hormonal imbalance which is often why spots are often triggered by the onset of puberty or during pregnancy. Temporarily blemished skin can be the result of overloading your body with pollutants such as alcohol, coffee, tea and the chemicals found in tobacco smoke and failing to supply it with essential nutrients. Add to this stress - which can increase the production of some hormones that affect the sebaceous glands - a lack of fresh air, exercise, sunshine and sleep and it's not surprising it shows on your face.
Blemishes fall into two categories: blackheads or whiteheads. Both types of breakouts occur in the hair follicles. They develop when pores become clogged with sebum and other surface impurities, such as dead skin cells and bits of protein. Blackheads are not caused by dirt on the skin, but rather by excess oil left on the skin. If not removed within eight hours, this oil hardens into a plug. When the hardened oil is exposed to air, it is oxidized, giving it a black color. If bacteria comes into contact with this plugged pore, it can cause an inflammation, or a whitehead (the classic pimple).
You may need to change your diet or just generally take better care of yourself. get more sleep, eat more nutrional foods, get outside and enjoy the sunshine.

I tried everything under the sun, as I've suffered from acne most of my life. I've found the product that works best for me is Proactiv. I also get microdermabrasion periodically and wear non-comedogenic (oil free/won't clog pores) make-up. I've never had break-outs anywhere but my face, but I'm pretty sure Proactiv has a body wash w/similar ingredients to the face products.
And, I've found that being on birth control is helpful as well.

Detoxify yourself ask for Gluthathione/Methathione in your drug stores. You need to be cleanse internally. Take the drug for 3 months. Wash your face maximum of twice a day, use clearasil. Dab a toner to your face if you want. If you can avoid meat, avoid it for now. Eat veggies and citrus fruits.

ok this sounds weird and wonderful yet I swear it works for me each and every time. Take some pennies (IT must be PENNIES, NO different money WILL paintings) and fix them on your face with a band-help or some tape. positioned the pennies precise over the zits you desire to do away with. bypass to sleep with the pennies related on your face, you will awaken and the zits would be thoroughly long previous.
