what can i do about stubborn acne on my face ???

Question

i'm 18 yrs old....i have really bad acne and an oily face...and i mean really bad....it's practically all over my face...and it's not little whiteheads...they are kinda like noudules...get what i'm saying...to make matters worse, i can't use products that have benzoly peroxide in them, since i'm allergic to it...can u tell me some natural remedies/ medicines that can help my face be less "inflammed"

Answer 1

#1 Hydrogen peroxide>benzoly peroxide

Applying lavander essential oil works wonders. I didn't really believe it until someone reccomded I try it instead of the standard on the shelf stuff.

Besides that, I have found the following things matter and tend to effect acne.
1) Eating sugar (and artifical ones). If you eat no sugar your predispotion to acne drops a lot. Mine completely vanished when I did.
2) Eating greasy fried food (aka fast food). I noticed I was able to feel outbreaks coming on as I ate the stuff. I think sugar matters more though.
3) Getting rid of hair covering the face (so beards, sideburns, or long curly hair that gets to your cheaks). I don't know why this one matters but it does.
4) Washing the face with water from a shower. The more you wash it the better it gets. However, chlorine which is in all tap water irritates it as well, so if you get the chance to get a chlorine shower filter that goes a long way to fixing your skin (and hair).

There are some other anecdotal things I am not sure of in anyway about acne, but I'd leave it as; if you are generally healthy then you will not get acne, so most of the time its best to just think of acne as an indictator for your body. Then again its a pretty awful one to deal with, and I went through a lot of grief before I figured out what I just told you.
