Need help on my acne face!?

Question

I have a very serious acne problems, until i cldnt bear to look at the mirror. (I'm a girl who is a afraid of looking at the mirror.), neither do i dare to meet out to meet new friends. I am so afraid i wld scare them out.

I've also tried many acne-cure products, but none seem to work. My face is constantly producing much much oil, even though i've been trying to wash my face in the intervals.

Should i really seek for doctor's help? Will the fees be expensive? Or what are some products that is really effective for acnes?

Any advise is appreciated~ thanks.

yea, i do heard abt the accutane. But the bad side effects of it really scares me alot.

Btw, where can i get proactiv products?it seems like it's somesort of america products. Moreover, im frm Singapore.

Answer 1

Neutogena has a great product called Oil-control faoming cleanser, it works well for me. Dont wash your face TOO much, maybe just twice a day. This is because if you wash it too much your skin gets dried out and you produce excess oil. Never use a hand soap on your face or body lotion on your face. only use staff made for the FACE! its worth it to spend a little extra money on extra products! Clean and Clear has Oil Absorbing Sheets that you can use throughout that day, just pop into a bathroom and wipe them on your oily spots, they work like a charm when you cant wash your face and take away shine! (They come in a little blue package) Hope this helps!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 3

I think that you should make sure that you have tried all the acne products you can find. Have you tried proactiv? I here that it works for some people and does nothing for others. One of my friends love it, and another one says it just doesn't work. Maybe you should try it. If you already have or it doesn't work then yes I think that if it is really bothering you,you should seek a Doctor's help. It depends on where you go or if you have insurance on how much it would cost. But even so, if you have tried everything and this problem is really bothering you I think it would be worth it.

Hope this helps!

I used to have an acute case of acne when I was younger for many years; it covered my face, back, chest and posterior. I eventually healed myself without the use of drugs. I cured myself through DIET.

-This is what you should avoid/elminate:

fried foods
White bread/flour
starch combinations during the same meal (e.g. potatoes and pasta)
soda/carbonated drinks
sugar/corn syrup
meat/dairy
soft foods (processed foods)
hydrogenated oils (in processed foods)


-you should increase your intake of:

fruits/vegetables, preferably organic (you should have a salad a day, at the least)
8 glasses of water a day
whole foods
black and/or brown bread (whole grains)
nuts


-you should have a balance, of 80% alkaline forming foods, to 20% acid forming foods. (mostly fruits and vegetables)

-----

Basically, your eliminations are poor/sluggish; thats is why some people can get away with eating badly, but you may not. The reason changing your diet to the foods below will help is because your eating foods that are much easier to digest and elminate than those above.

I would check out Edgar Cayce; without his advice I would probably still suffer today.

He also said you can help yourself through osteopathic adjustments to your spine, he said this can create imbalances in your nervous system (if it isn't in proper adjustment) which will affect everything else. I haven't done this yet, as it is expensive; but I assume when I do, I will be able to better digest the aforementioned foods. Through DIET ALONE I have been cured for a number of years.

Don't believe the people who say it doesn't effect it, I swear to god this will help. It helped me. =) good luck!

Just so others are aware, I'm copy/pasting this to others, so they can get advice, because I have been there. i'm not selling or advertising for anyone or anything, i'm not spamming. don't think that, if you see this advice elsewhere.
