How can I clear up my skin/acne FAST?

Question

I don't have really bad acne, just a mild case. I get about 7-12 pimples at once. But nothing i do ever works!!! I have clean and clear pore cleanser, but that doesn't seem to help. I have tried scrubs, facials, steaming...but nothing works. Toothpaste dries out my skin and leaves it worse than before. I'm a picker, so if you have any advice to help me stop picking at my face, it would be appreciated! Gracias!

Answer 1

It sounds like you have the same type of skin that I have. That means, don't use proactiv or anything from an infomercial. Not only were they a failure for me, even if they do by some strange phenomenon work for you, they take up to a whole entire year to completely clear your face! Try this- I swear it will work!

First, splash your face with hot water, so that it opens your pores. Then wash it with Clean & Clear cream cleanser. It's different from the pore cleanser, because I tried that also and it didn't work for me. Rinse with hot water and pat dry. Then, take a cotton pad and apply Sea Breeze brand astringent. Then splash your face 10-15 times with cold water to close your pores. If your skin is dry, smooth on a thin application of Lubriderm lotion for sensitive skin. It actually helps lock in moisture, keeping your face smooth. DONT PICK! The only thing I can tell you to help stop picking is to think about how it's never gotten you anywhere. Now, doing this process for just a week will improve your skin. It has for me. Make sure to do it every morning and every night before sleeping. Change your pillow case every one or two days, preventing bacteria from your face and hair from getting into your pores. I really hope this helps you!

well stop picking at your face if you know you do it and you dont like the results . . but the absolute best way to get rid of your acne . . . believe it or not is by getting a face washing routine . . everyday you need to be using the same products in the same order . . facial cleanser, ((exfoliante like 2 times a week)), toner, and a moisturizer . . the same ones . . and dont just try to shove different products into your regimine as a quick fix . . because the best quick fix is preventing it from starting . . . . now since you already have a problem i reccommend a spot treatment such as clean and clear persa-gel 10 . . it contains 10% saliysic acid ((the highest available over the counter)) and dries up acne overnight . . . dont forget to moisturize in the morning . . and you can also apply a few eye redness remover eye drops to your pimples to take away the unsightly redness and then use a green concealer under your foundation to even out your skin tone!!!!

Accutane really works and clears up your skin. But the acne may come back after a period of time after you are done with taking it. I have been on accutane twice, and it cleared up my acne both times. Unfortunatly it started to come back after a few months. My skin doctor percribed Ziana-a new acne gel- and this works really well. . I also wash my face with Cetaphil and moisturize w/ Cetaphil, also try Panoxyl Bar 10 % Benzoil Peroxide, these can be found in any drugstore. If your acne is out of control, I reccomend Accutane. It will dry out your skin while on it so moisturize alot. It takes a good 6 weeks to see results. Yes it has several side effects, like alot of dryness of skin, dizziness. Your skin doctor will explain everything. But seeing from your picture, your best option is Accutane to clear it up and then maintain it with good skin care after.

Try getting facials. And there is fantastic skin care line from Sonya Dakar in fact you could order it online. When you get a blemish instead of toothpaste try her drying potion you apply it at night because it is white and dries white. The next morning it will either be gone or almost gone.Its pricey but it works. Also try putting ice in a baggie and hold it on the blemishes for at least 5 minutes. That takes the swelling down and naturally exfoliates your skin.

I have a friend who was a picker and that will leave scars. I suggest just forcing yourself to be concious of it and don't touch your face with your hands unless you are washing it or applying make up. Your hands are covered with bacteria that cause blemishes, it worked for me and my skin used to be a nightmare. Hope this helps!!

Pick em right before you shower to get the blood and puss out, then when you get out of the shower put antibiotic ointment on the pimples and let them dry for about 15 minutes, then wash your face and reapply the cream to the areas and leave it for 3-4 hours (works good before bed) don't wear a hat when outside, the sun will dry them out really good. If you try this for 4 days it will clear up really good. (just happened to me 2 weeks ago and i had no problem getting rid of it)

Answer 7

here's what you do... get a little apple cider vinegar, mush some galric into it, mix it, add a few drops of water and apply it to the zit with a cotton ball. You can do this up to three times a day NOT MORE and it should be gone real quick.

Good Luck

I have severe acne and scar easily too. So I feel your pain. I found this website, and they have essential oil blends that they tell you how and what to mix it with to help heal your acne. That one is oily on your face, but it really works! And the other one is in the free recipe section to help get rid of acne scars. That one really works, but you don't see the results over night... you have to be patient. It worked on me, and my face was pretty bad. On that same page, they also have acne mask.

Answer 9

First morning urine on a cotton ball, apply and hold on zit for a few minutes and it will pop to a head and be gone in a day or two.
I have read this in various magazine articles... Cant hurt to try it...
OR
Make an appointment with a dermatologist and get info

Answer 10

sounds weird but...stick deoderant really works.and it also helps that eveytime you touch your face they get deoderant on them and it reminds you that yo are picking.
