Answer 1

Alrite.... try this... i got this info fmr another site..
Not only does apple cider vinegar helps with acnes, they'll help reduce acne scars also. However, it smells... This is how I use it. In the evening, I washed my face real good with one of those cleansing towlette, I use Oil of Olay but that doesn't make any difference. I premix in a bottle one part vinegar to two part water (I have sensitive skin so I can't use full strength, which I don't recommend using anyway unless you're sure your skin can take it). Then while watching tv or whatever, I wet a cotton ball with the mixture and apply it all over my face, let dry, repeat, let dry, then go to sleep. It smells so I don't recommend using it in the day time.

Benzoid peroxide works in curing acne because it kills bacteria, but it slow your skin's ability to recover itself. Tea tree oil serve the same purpose in killing bacteria but it has no restriction on your skin. This is how I use it. In the morning, I wash my face with a gentle cleanser, I use the positively radiant line by Aveeno, then I wet a cotton pad (I use those round cotton pad) with water then drop 3 drops of tea tree oils directly on the pad (it's rather drying at first so I would start with one then increase as your skin adjust) then I wipe the pad all over my face, let dry while I change my clothes, etc... After 5 to 10 minutes, apply light moisturizer with spf of at least 15 and head out, once again I use the positively radiant line by Aveeno but any brands will be fine, just be sure it's gentle cleanser, & light moisturizer

Try not to wear makeup if at all possible.
Once a week, steam your face for 5 minutes to make your pore sweat out anything that's not suppose to be there.
Once a week, wear a mud mask to soak up excess sebum, oil, & dirt. I love love the rare earth masque by Kieh's, but any other brand will be just fine
Drink plenty of water throughout the day
Get 8 hrs of sleep
Be sure you go regularly

Good luck..;)

Answer 2

Since Proactiv isn't working for you, try getting Clearasil at a near by store. Also if you want a homemade acne solution.Get an aspirin and crush it then add water.

Try not to stress too much. Every time you get a good workout and are dripped in sweat. Wash your face right away, because if you let the sweat dry it will make your skin oily and the pores will close.

Never pick your acne because that actually spreads the bacteria inside the acne and helps form new ones. If you do "pop" a pimple you should use Neutrogena: Rapid Clear- Acne eliminating gel. It works!!!

NEVER EVER use more than I'd say two products to wash your face. Unless you're using soap and water. Because the chemicals will dry out your skin.

Good luck

Avoid using any kind of scented body lotions on your face (i.e. Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body works, etc.) and avoid putting your hands in your face too often throughout the day. If you have tried everything in stores to no avail you may need to see a dermatologist. There is an oral medication for really severe acne called Accutane. It works really well (my little sister uses it), but you can only get it with a prescription. I hope this helps you!

Answer 4

here's what i use:
if you want a natural remedy that won't irritate your face but is still VERY effective, MIX:
1or2 tbsp. oatmeal
1/2 mashed banana
1 egg white

**To get the egg white, crack open the egg and drain out the whites. mix together with a fork and keep in mind that this IS messy!!

Other store-bought products:
1. St. Ives Apricot Face Wash
2. Dove Deep Moisture Facial Cream (if your skin is dry, too)
3. Almay Blemish Healer (comes in a yellow tube)

**be sure your using OIL-FREE products. also i find salycilic acid works better than benzoyl peroxide because benzoyl peroxide is too drying.

Answer 5

Just wash ur face in the Morning and at Night before bed... also use a scrub and a light moisturizer... Since you break out easy you need a light moisturizer... also only use the moisturizer in the dry spots and places that u need it like under ur eyes...

Answer 6

Shea butter cream works wonders, and can be found at any health food store. Also, Vitamin E is great - weather it's cream or just straight Vitamin E, it gets rid of any skin problem within days. Look into it :)

Answer 7

try this: every night before u go to bed, apply a couple of drops of olive oil on ur face...olive oil is best for face of any kind for any prob.it also mosturises ur skin...it softens and keeps ur skin tone complex too.....and egg whites makes ur face skin soft...these are the natural help for skins....
