Answer 1

When I was younger, my dermatologist told me to:
1. Wash my face with only Dial Gold (no perfumes, which can irritate the skin) -- start by splashing warm water on your face to open the pores, wash with Dial, rinse with warm water, then splash cold water on your face to close the pores. Dry with a clean towel.
2. Only use white washcloths on face -- the dyes can irritate.
3. Sleep on a clean, white pillow case every night. You can leave alot of oil on your pillow case.

It was all kind of a pain, especially the pillow case thing, but I'm happy to say, it did help. And, it's cheaper than alot of other medications.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Answer 4

I have had horrendous acne and now have totally clear skin. My dermatologist put me on doxycycline twice a day and retin-a at night and in about 8 weeks it cleaned it all up and it has remained that way. I swear by this.

Things that did NOT work for me were proactiv, tea tree oil, the arbonne system for acne.. I tried a lot of things, nothing came close to the results I got with the antibiotic route.

Answer 5

Cold Water Therapy.

Your pores on face are very sensitive to Oil/dust and that causes irritation and hence pimples.

Close your pores by simply splashing/spraying COLD water on your face.

Especially soon after

You get up from bed.
after a long day marathon.
You know that your skin needs some cold water

Try it and let us know.

P.s. I recommend washing cold water atleast 4 to 5 times in day and 2 times in night for first week and 2 to 3 times a day and 1 time at night after situation subsides.

Best of luck,
and also - A happy face can HAVE pimples...

Answer 6

My derm told me to cut out caffiene, which helps when I can manage it. Drink more water. Don't wash too many times a day or your skin will get dry and then oily. I use a plain sulfur soap that I found on the internet and follow it up with a moisturizer with Benzoil Peroxide in it in the evening, and an apricot scrubbing wash in the morning.

Unfortunately, he also told me that it's largely genetic, so sometimes you're just out of luck.
