Acne questions.

Acne Related!!

Okay its kind of embarrassing to say this but, the past day or two ive broke out in acne quite alot T_T andd i was wondering if youu guys can help me with ways of getting rid of them.. like what youu do when youu have them or had the even. Alsoo how youu keep them away xD

Because im going back to college tomorrow andd ive got a party coming up also i dont wanna look like this when going to work DX Hope youu guys can help me! Thanks so much if youu do >3<<

P.S. Im a girl loll, so no products that only guys can use xD

Proactiv

Thanks =]

My brother had it fucking bad, that Proactiv stuff does work.. later like three weeks, but not on him. Try the acne soap at CVS or i guess walmart has it and antibiotics called Erythromycin or if you don't want to go to the doc's use the antibiotics cream for cuts just rub it in. Nothing going to works in a day so if you can pop them do it and scrub your face with the stuff and maybe it will make it less bad.

I see thankss ^-^ Its mainly like they are all little ones in random places, andd then i have a big one on my cheek andd ive gotten rid of the puss (yucky!) andd there is no bump/lump or whatever, its just cut skin in like a circle andd it takes awhile for skin to heal up =/ Thats the big problem loll xD

Better than any product on the market... Water.

Drink plenty (and I mean several glasses a day) of it along with juicy fruits :D

Wash your face everyday with soap and water, for me it was way more effective than any product.
Also, do you take control birth pills? Maybe it's a hormonal problem?

I just use Clean & Clear facial soap. Another thing to remember is try not to touch your face with your hands. You'd be surprised how dirty your hands are on a daily bases. With all that dirt and stuff on your hands, it doesn't help when you put your hands to your face. Sometimes I'll do it and not even notice it ( I usually lean my head on my hand).

if you're only planning on washing your face with soap and whatnot only do it every second day, the natural oils on your face will allow your skin to avoid drying out.

Every second day? lolwut

If you're simply washing your face with lukewarm water and cetaphil (a gentle soap cleanser for the face), it's recommended for twice a day.

Tea tree oil products work really well. I currently use Body Shop's line of tea tree oil products (facial wash, moisturizer, and blemish gel), and have used Dr. Bronner's tea tree oil soap in the past. Both are really good. BC pills also help reduce the occurrence of breakouts.

Dunno, never had it.

I had acne in middle school and DRASTICALLY changed my diet and it disappeared literally within a week of the change. I suggest ingesting only non processed foods and limit your sugar intake to 5g per serving.

I've never had really bad acne, but oily skin doesn't help, so if your skin also gets really oily then I suggest getting some cotton swabs and using rubbing alcohol. Sounds harsh, but it helps with all that oil and junk... =P

Don't do it more than on a day or so or your skin will dry out.

Listen to this chick, she's from an ancient line of dentists.

I don't quite see how dentistry is relevant to skin care...

I get random small-ish amounts of acne when I don't sleep enough.

This. I also get acne when I forget to change my sheets/pillowcases bi-weekly.

For me, acne pops up whenever I'm super stressed. I just wash my face twice a day and try to relax.

yeahh i would say stress might be one of the main reasons this has happened =]
