Can we prevent Adult acne?

Question

I am still getting acne and in my early 40s.. i also have scars left by the acne. How do I get rid of it and prevent it. I took some really strong acne medicine for 6 mths and it cleared it all up. But I couldn't take it any longer after that becos its not good for the womb. So after stopping it, the acne is back.. I just want to try something more natural

Answer 1

I have the same problem hun and no there is no known cure for acne..

Just when I finally had my acne under control...BOOM perimenopause hits and messes it all up...But I am winning the battle..:)

Although Pro Active is a good skin line , there is 1 drawback...
The benzoyl peroxide in the lotion will stain colored towels white..

There is an agressive medication you can take but you have to get it from your doc... Accutane will clear up ance for good..
Drawbacks.....If you are clinically depressed you cannot take product..
The side effects of this med are extensive and some can be severe...

My solution to few problems...

Pernox.. Its an aggresive sulpur scrub that can be purchased at any Wal-Greens store... Its costly but well worth it .. The bottle cost 20.00 and usually last me about 3 weeks..You can find it in the skincare isle or ask the pharmasist if they can order it..

Best product I have ever found...

I also use a moisturizer .. Phisoderm has one that has few irritating ingredients and works well to atleast restore moisture , which is necessary ....

For blemishes that appear.. try using a fast drying spot treatment make sure the product has sulphur in it...I use...bye bye blemish which can be found at a Sally's Beauty store .. Not sure who else might carry the product but I do know , it works well....

Also, try taking omega flax seed oil capsules .. you can find them anywhere ex... Wal-mart..The omega capsules are good for skin and hair...

Drink lots of water ... it helps flush the toxins outta of overly sensitive skin...

Stay away from caffeine products ... They irritate the skin...
Eat lots of veges....
be careful with milk products .... They have hormones in them that can irritate skin..

or go organic...I am 100% organic because of all the steroids and junk in regular commercial foods...

Also, take a vitamin... and extra vit C .. and zinc.... Good for the skin...

My acne is under control but I do still have little flare ups every so often and they can usually be linked back to food, stress, or some chemical product...

Below I listed some sites that you might find helpful...

Hope I could help,,,:)

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.

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
