Question

i have acne mostly around my chin and i was wondering how shaving affects the acne? i have to shave but it feels like my acne will get worse if i shave so i dont know what to do. please help!!!

Answer 1

I USED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I found I had a hypersensitive skin allergic to all the harsh ingedients(chemicals) in many of soaps and face cleaners and other products. They would dry out and denature my skin of natural oils. SO I SIMPLY STOPPED USING THEM AND FACE STARTED HEALING. Before I shaved I first massaged skin with pure natural oils - this heals and revitalizes. Coconut, vitamin E and flaxseed oils work well. Do not using shaving creams - most are not good for skin but instead apply a body lotion cream like Lubriderm on top of the oil and then shave. You will be amazed at the difference it makes. You will find that you don`t get the pimples. You will also find that you will need any aftershave. Try it - you will be happy thatr you did.

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.

Hello!

I aggree with Mukunda's answer. The skin on your neck which is called the décoleté (which is fancy french for something) is very sensitive. Using proactiv on this area especially after shaving is a terrible idea. When men shave their beards no matter how good the razor, it makes small tiny cuts in skin cells. Proactiv contains benzoyl peroxide so it would be the equivalent of rubbing salt in an open wound (painful and could cause a rash!!)

I used to get shaving bumps in the same area, and I tried all kinds of shaving creams. I now use a shave balm by Alba mine is coconut & lime. It's all natural, and very gentle and calming. I'd also reccomend you use a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil which you can get at any drugstore.

Another route that you can try is a nutritional supplement. Because acne has internal causes: diet, stress, hormones (esp in teens), I've found this to work for me. I eat 2 Frutels a day, which is this new vitamin gummy thingie. They're great, and they got rid of my acne too!

Answer 4

get rid of the acne...
raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!


Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."

you can get it at the health food store, or in some super marktet health food sections.
good luck

Answer 6

I agree, Proactiv. But some of those bumps may be razor burn or ingrown hairs. Use a special shave. I use one by Aveeno that prevents ingrown hairs and razor burn. It's lovely.
