Acne and Zits?

Question

I have a tribble time with acne and zites. What is the best treatment I can use?

Answer 1

I use St. Ives Appricot Scrub with blemish and blackhead control. It may sound girly but it works pretty well and their website has a skin profiler quiz to determine which of their products would be the best for your skin type.

Answer 2

I have dry skin that is pretty sensative, I am super pale and I am a redhead, plus I had a serious skin problem when I was a baby, so I get prone to skin issues like acne.

The other day I had a zit the size of a mesquito bite. No Joke. My face started itching while I was doing homework and there it was, a massive zit that easily could have been a mesquito bite! But no, it was a monster zit! I was completely freaking out! So this is what you should do, I can't guarentee your zit will be gone, but it will definetly shrink.

First, take ice and ice the pimples, this will reduce swelling. If you had really bad swelling like me, go between a hot and cold compress every 5 min. Now, you need this product called dry-lo. Dry-lo dries out pimples in minutes. If you wake up with a giant pimple, put some dry-lo on it as you get ready for school and 10 min later it will be a little tiny spec you can coverup.

It is a spot treatment that dries out acne really well. They say to use it overnight, but it can make your pillow smell (it smells nasty, but it is a miracle.) It is expensive, but 1 bottle will last you a lifetime of spot treatments.

Answer 3

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 4

I read a book http://bambiberg.acnefree.hop.clickbank.net/ that really made me understand this, and when I finally used the correct combination of lifestyle changes, my acne disappeared in just a few days. However, do not get this book, if you are not willing to follow through. Change is hard, I am the first to admit, but the payoff is awesome, because I am acne free.

Answer 5

TEE TREE OIL. You can get at pharmacy usually. just put a dab on the acne areas after washing your face. Best to do it before bed as it has a strong scent and it looks a bit oily after application. But it WILL dry out the pimples and they will be gone after a few days or so. It works.
