I have really bad skin, huge pores, bad acne along my jaw line, and bad scaring. What should I do?

Answer 1

I think it depends on whether you currently follow a skin care regime or not. I would recommend that you follow a health diet, and drink lots of water. Make sure you cleanse and tone your skin twice a day, and use something that targets oily skin. Make sure you follow with moisturisation - either something for oily skin, or perhaps sensitive skin. Face masks and explofiation can help with pores, so make sure you do these approx. twice a week. Be gentle when you exfoliate - you may want to avoid your acne.

BTW - you don't always need expensive products. Companies like Olay, Dove, Nivea, L'Oreal, Avon, etc., have some really great products that don't cost the earth.

If you have the money, I would suggest having regular facials. Beauty therapists can help you with your skin issues, and provide advice on products that can help. They can also suggest if you need to see a dermatologist or not.

Answer 2

If you have really, really bad acne there is something called Accutane.. its really strong and u have to get it as a prescription..my bf used this and he said his face cleared up and hs was really bad. Proactive is okay I used to for a while but I had to just go to a dermatologist because after a year it stopped working for me. Just g to a dermatologist theyy will give you day cream that kills germs on you skin (and u can wear it with makeup), a night cream that will clear blemishes and pimples get smaller and smaller and will soon go away, and then an antibiotic that will kill the bacteria in your body so that you wont get any new breakouts. I use Lucidol it comes in like 1%, then %2, %3 5% then 10%. Im not sure but I think it contains benzoyl peroxide. Its going to kind of sting your face at first, jsut warning you, but it will work. In my opinion the stuff in walmsrt and target arent strong enugh if you have REALLY bad acne.

Answer 3

I would go on a good skin diet, which is no sugar, alots of water, and try to keep your face out of sun as much as you can. Eat alot of vegetables, fruits and especially eat bananas because they have good source of gleytics and vitamins which is very good for your face, body, and skin. I would recommend using "Proactiv" acne face wash, toner, and lotion. Wash every morning and night. Change your pillow case twice a week. (Pillow cases are known to gather bactrica from your body, hair and face and when it builds up it makes your face even more dirtier and will increase your chance of acne, pimples, zits, and other things. and ABSOUTELY avoid sugar, such as chocolate, and small candy snacks. When you need something to nibble on or snack on. Carrots with low fat ranch are the best, or Celery with peanut butter. (Peanut butter is really good for your skin, it helps it tone and come out even more evenly and look shiner. Also gives your body the good protein it needs.) There is so much you can do, but this is mostly it that will probably help you decrease your face into smaller pores, and clear out most of your acne, Oh! And lotion, toning and avrandos are good for scarring. Hope it helps you sweetie, good luck. Ciao

If you are able and have the $, I would go see a dermatologist who will directly take care of your problem. I had to go see one before because I had really bad acne. Now my skin is as clear as anything. Sometimes they have cream that will smooth the lines and minimize the scaring.

Answer 5

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

Answer 7

The only thing I could recommend is going to see your doctor and asking him/her to recommend a dermatologist. There are a lot of ways to fix your skin depending on your needs. It may be your diet, hormones, stress etc. and they will definetly be able to identify your needs best. Whatever you do, don't waste money on drug store products. They won't work and may ulitmately make your skin worse. It's all marketing.

Answer 8

make sure you see a dermatologist. i'm going through the exact same thing and i've been on prescribed antibiotics for about 4 months now and my skin has really cleared up! i really noticed the difference after 2 months.

as for the scarring, mainly time can make it fade. my doctor called them "stains" rather than scars. They will fade over time.
