Answer 3

Stacy:

I wouldn't use toothpaste or Visine -

I'd just use a very warm, clean, wet wash cloth (heat in micro for warmth) and apply to face. Repeat.
Wash with an acne soap - and apply peroxide if the pimple is red/puss filled.
Otherwise use an acne stridex pad or similar.
Apply Acne cream repeat tonight.

I suggest the Clear Advantage regime by Arbonne.
It's not cheap but it's effective, and natural and comes with a daily supplement to combat acne from the inside out.

Or Burts Bee makes an acne rub on - smells like licorice but works well (all natural).

Answer 4

Acne is partly about genetics and hormones, so at 14 that's probably what a lot of this is about for you, but, the following will help. Eat healthy. Lots of fruits and veges, adequate lean protien and whole grains. Drink lots of water (no more than 2 liters a day), very limited amounts of fruit juice(if you must). No sugar, white flour, fast food or heavily processed food. No "diet" anything (like diet soda, etc), it's basically chemicals and is not good for you!! Basically, if it comes out of a box, don't eat it. No soda, ice cream or donuts, EVER. Try to avoid butter and foods that contain butter. Watch your fats carefully, I notice that my skin is much more oily and prone to acne when I eat more fats, especially animal fats like in red meats and butter. Take a good quality multivitamin every day. Wash with a good quality soap (I like french milled) twice a day. Avoid deoderant soaps, moisturizing soaps, glycerin soaps or any soap that leaves a 'film' on your skin. Keep your hair and your bedding, especially your pillow, clean. Limit the use of hair products, remember, anything you put on your hair ends up on your pillow and thus on your face. Try a clay type mask, Queen Helene is the one I like and it's cheap and available nationally, use it once or twice a week. Try to not touch your face, your hands have lots of bacteria on them and never pick your acne because it will give you scars. Good luck and I hope this helps. ps - at your age, it's a good time to start reading labels. I read labels on everything, and if there's a bunch of stuff I can't pronounce or don't know what it is on the label, I don't eat it. The more ingredients any food has, the less likely I am to eat it. Try to switch to organic foods as best you can. They really do taste better and are better for you.

Answer 5

Yepp, make a strong green tea and dab on the pimple. Or try propolis extract or omega-3 fish oil from the health food store. Same there just apply on the pimple.
To prevent acne drink a lot of water and avoid chocolate and chips.
Good luck!

Answer 6

- cucumber mask daily to keep your face clean and soften the pimples.
- drink plenty of plain water
- Exercise and sweat it out. Your sweat will clean out the pores on your face.
- wash with acne facial often if your face is oily. If your face is dry, just wash your face with facial twice a day.
- Apply acne medication.
- If you want faster effect, you can ask your doctor for some pills to take orally.

Answer 7

don't smear just anything over your face. ask your relatives: older cousins, etc, for good creams as remedies. it might be due to a oily and "heaty" diet, so wad i usually do is keep away from oil, spicy stuff and drink lots of water. if you have Drx skincare where you are, their blemish formula is quite good

Answer 8

yeah sure, you can go to a dermatologist coz they remove 'em quickly, a friend of mine went and u should c her face now, it is soo clear! or you can use proactive, it's got 3 stages to it but it works with in a week! i thinks its 35-40$ every two months for it!

it's great, i hope this helps!

Answer 9

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracycline, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results. This has worked for me and many many other happy people.

Go to pharm., Drug store, or Wal-Mart, buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this 2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing to the individual blemishes.... DON’T rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction. It will unclog
dry it out and bring it to a head...DON’T over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.

Salicylates such as found in regular aspirin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin...other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
I have seen many people recommending crushing aspirin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory probably would take the redness out... again pretty harsh for sensitive skin.

Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the original not the new stuff, this works great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypo allergic should work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Neutrogena, and Nivea make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dermatologist.

"Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypo allergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women. I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the "Purpose liquid soap" saying
that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. I have also heard good responses from "cetaphil soap". These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has shown in many many people.

Additional TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores. DON’T PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
DON’T EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensitive skin or use harsh chemicals such as: Lemon juice, vinegar, alcohol, etc... DON’T EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DON’T USE PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria because also Benzoyl based wash but will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. Also things such as Accutane but have SERIOUS side effects such as Major Depression, & birth defects in unborn children, among others
If you wear make up make sure it is oil free, & hypo allergic...Eating healthy...Drinking plenty of water.. Changing pillow cases freq. ...avoiding dirty sports equip. such as helmets...can not hurt...Acne/pimples again are caused by pores/hair follicles becoming plugged up, this plugging then causes an inflammatory reaction - redness and infection (pimple)..black head is dirt or old oil trapped in pore, while a white head is the same thing you just don’t see the dirt instead you see white pus (lymphocytes that accumulate in the area to fight the infection) It has been shown in many studies this most often not caused by what you eat (chocolate etc... or how clean you are) but most often by either excess oils plugging pores or a bacteria on the skins surface. - Proactive works in some people because it is a strong Benzoyl peroxide based washed but is most freq. to strong
for people with sensitive skin - this is why alot of people get excessive drying and flaking, rashes, bleaching or breakouts from the product. Retina-A does decrease the bacterial growth on your face but also removes dead/living skin, this can work well in some individuals and has been shown to reduce wrinkles and scars but again I feel this is pretty harsh on sensitive skin prone to breakouts. If you choose Retina-A never use this product during the day only at night due to the sensitivity it will give you to the sun. You must also get a prescription for this product and I really don't believe it is worth the damage it does to your skin. In some rare cases for very deep/large boils and cyst types
of pimples oral antibiotics maybe needed but I would first recommend trying "purpose" and a low dose "benzoyl-peroxide cream" along with a good oil free moisturizer "Nutraderm... etc" this does work well.

THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3 ---------------------------------------------
