my son has been using pine tar soap for a over two months now. it has really helped clear it up. he had it really bad. huge sores on his face, back and some on his arms and chest. you can get it thru your pharmacy. it costs about $4 a bar and a bar can last 3-4 wks. His skin is 100 percent clearer now

OMG, you are being horrid to your face! Take it easy.

First, apricot scrub is NOT a cleanser, it is an exfoliant. Meaning it does nothing to remove dirt, debris, oil, or make-up from your face, but does get loose skin cells off. If you have active pimples, DO NOT scrub them w/ a facial scrub! You will only irritate them, as you found. Find a facial cleanser like "Clean & Clear" or "Suave Face Wash" to use morning and night.

Rubbing alcohol as an astringent?! Yikes! All that is doing is drying out yoru face. Know what your skin does in response to being dried out? Make more oil in response! If you have pimples, you don't need that. Skip that alcohol step. Maybe an astringent from "Clean & Clear", but it's not really necessary.

As far as pimple treatment, they are drying by nature. You do not want to wipe it all over your face, but only spot-treat zits. Once you see it getting crusty, quit using it and let the pimple heal.

PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.

GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.

1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .

2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.

3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.

4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.

5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.

6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.

7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.

8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.

9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.

10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.

11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.

12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.

13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.

14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.

15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.

16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.

17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.

Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.

you probably got dermatitis.an inflammation in skin, discontinue using alcohol on your face coz its too strong for the skin. use a really mild facial wash and avoid touching and rubbing your face. dont overwash your face too just do it twice a day in the morning and before goin to sleep. you might want to use products with benzoyl peroxide with a minimum % for acne,ot tretinoin. dont leave too much med on face coz it caould damage your delicate skin. consulting a dermatologist is best to treat skin problems fast before it damages/leave a mark in skin, there are new technologies emerging for skin treatments that helps a lot and you wont have to worry anymore;).

Answer 6

That might be sensitive to your skin or an allergic reaction. Switch to something with saying "For sensitive skin". Wash your face with cool water and just keep it real cool and don't put any medicine on till it is better.

Answer 7

it's because the chemicals are way too harsh for your skin. if this happens, you should put the treatment stuff on every other day to let your skin recuperate.
