a few months ago I had very little breakouts now that it is getting cold and I am not tanning my face is drying and I am breaking out like crazy all over my chin area and I look horrible what do I do. I was my face once in the morning and once at night. I try to switch my products I use saint ives scrub, Noxema cleanser, clinique face wash and clinique astringent. I also use an oil free moisturizer at night. What can I do without making a trip to the dermetologist? I am currently uninsured and can't be hit with a big bill before christmas

You should investigate why you are having these breakouts. Are they due to stress? Hve you recently used a new facial cleanser that is causing your breakouts, etc?

Drink plenty of water, juices and avoid fatty, oily and spicy food. If you need more tips, this is a site that may have some useful resources for you http://www.acne-and-skin-care.com

The Solution

When adult acne is treated in a doctor's office it's called "acne surgery". When done at home, it's called squeezing pimples. It gets immediate results -- but when you squeeze pimples at home, you are begging for infection and scars. And squeezing or picking at pimples is a great way to get your acne to spread. Don't do it! Doctors use a special sterile instrument to prevent scarring, infection, and acne spread.


Or you can check out the skin care products aisle at your local drug store. If you've ever tried to buy acne remedies, you know the drug store is loaded with all kinds of products. Which ones should you use? It's not an easy choice, says dermatologist Julie Anne Winfield, Mill Valley, Calif.


"Which treatment is best depends on which type of acne you have," Winfield tells WebMD. "It may well be worth a visit to dermatologist. They often have samples they could give you to try. People can spend a fortune on over-the-counter medicines when there is maybe one single prescription drug that could solve the problem. Be sure to use oil-free, non-comedogenic lotions or sunscreens. Use something very simple to wash your face with, as well as low-strength benzoyl peroxide. But it would be best to see a doctor to prevent possible acne scarring."


The biggest breakthrough in acne treatment has been the development of topical retinoic acid, a form of vitamin A. New slow-release forms of this medicine greatly reduce the irritation it can cause.


Other acne treatments target the various causes of acne. They're often used in combination. These acne treatments include:


Azelaic acid cream
Alpha-hydroxy acids (including glycolic acid, lactic acid, and gluconic acid)
Benzoyl peroxide
Topical antibiotics (gels, lotions, and solutions)
Antibiotic pills (haphazard use may lead to antibiotic resistance)
Birth controlBirth control pills for women
Accutane or Sotret for severe acne

One caveat: Accutane and Sotret can cause birth defects. Women who opt for this treatment must use foolproof birth control. Despite this and other concerns, these drugs are the treatment of choice for severe acne.

Chemical treatments will never cure acne in the long term. If you want a simple and long lasting cure then try a natural one. Here is great website; http://www.facemaster.net/TheFaceMasterCourse.html ... the details are all there, try it and see if you get the same great results as me.
