Gah!My acne!please!help me!(breaking out)?

Answer 1

watch what you eat. oily foods and soda will make you break out.

I hear pro activ is good too but if you're not eating right, it won't work long for you.

Answer 2

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.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Answer 3

Well, I've never tried pro-active solution.. I have beautiful skin and I use Cetaphil facial wash which you can get just about any drugstore for around $8.00 for 32 oz. I wash my face 2x a day and I exfoliate 2x a week with baking soda mixed with my face wash. I have very, very sensitive skin and have to be very careful what I use on it... I would try something mild/gentle for awhile and see if it helps.. Also, you can tone your skin with witch hazel it's alcohol free and it's good for easing the redness of acne. It's also inexpensive and found in most major drugstores.. Good luck...

Try this simple remedy. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne like soap. The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

I can't afford ProActive, so I tried AcneFree and I love it! My skin cleared up slightly within the first week and within the first 2 weeks I was looking and feeling so much better!!

This is available at Wal-Mart, Costco, Sam's Club and local drug stores...

Good luck!
