Answer 1

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.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL 1/ Never, ever touch your face. 2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day. 3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal 4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal. Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing. 5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again. 6/ Do this for 90 days. 7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days. Source: A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes. The secret is never to touch the spots Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Answer 4

Here is how you do it, plain and simple.
Wash your face twice daily with a gentle face soap, like those transparent-orange Neutrogena bars. After that, apply a good amount of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Don't use anything stronger than 2.5%, it really irritates the skin, and won't help your acne. Follow a daily regimen, and follow it religiously.

And don't pick at them. I know it's hard, but if you let them be, they die down faster than you might think. Try to keep your grubby hands away from your face as much as possible.

Answer 5

Sweetie, the pores get clogged with oil, natural oil. By cleaning the skin very well, and sometimes helping it along with some sloughing of dead skin, with a product like, Proactiv, just using the Renewing Cleanser for a month, will show a great improvement.
Good luck, and all the best!
Remember to smile, no matter what!

Answer 6

I've never heard of toothpaste, but washing your face often, and watching how much greasy food you eat will help. If you have oily skin, applying rubbing alcohol to your skin at night before you go to bed will help.

Answer 7

This will just reduce the redness, but if it is particulaly minty it may inflame. If they are in the facial hair area, just try a lotion call bump patrol -just splash on after a shave and it works wonders. Ialso use my b/friend's on my spots.
