What's the best way to keep pimples at bay?

Answer 1

Some of the answers aren't bad but...

Beyond eating well and drinking lots of water, there are other factors that cause your skin to break out. A little sun now and then helps too but you don't want to fry yourself. Hormones, allergies, pollutants, genetics, etc can be the cause of your problems. So, if you are already taking care of yourself, then you will have to try various skin remedies.

I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide so while I've heard that Proactiv works well, I can't tolerate it. I use Murad's Acne skin care line and it works great for me. You need to exfoliate and cleanse as well as moisturize. Murad uses AHA, BHA, Salicylic Acid, and Glycolic Acid to clear up your skin. I wash my face in the shower with the cleanser, then I tone it, add the acne treatment gel, then finish with moisturizer. A few times a week I exfoliate with their AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanser and then use the rest of the products. I wash my face again and repeat the routine before I go to bed at night. Works for me! A facial once and awhile helps too. They are expensive but I find that I can keep my skin clear with two a year (every 6 months). A dermatologist might be able to help you too. However, I tried Retin A and a topical antibiotic and didn't think they worked as well as the Murad stuff. However, it was covered by my insurance and the Murad stuff isn't and is expensive.

Good luck with your battle!
