how can you get healthy looking skin?
i'm very concerned and yet sometimes very jealous that people have better skin than me . i have pimple scars around my upper lip area nd chin . but the weird thing is that when i look in the mirror i don't see the pimple scars . & my pimple scars aren't bad but they just bother me cause when i talk people might be looking at my acne scars rather than me talking . i don't have that much pimples anymore but they pop out like a few days before i have my period . i have naturally oily skin . i've tried pretty much a lot of drug store products such as clean and clear, neutrogena , cetaphil, st. ives , and olay . but yet i've used my sisters clean and clear acne treatment, & it worked amazingly :] but now i need to clear my acne scars & have my skin looking healthy . *please help* .
Can you have a lot more acne after it's all gone?
I used to have severe acne (severe like completly covered forehead and around the chin and lip area), and now I only have like two zits on my whole face (perfectly clear forehead, clear around the mouth, just a bit where my hair lies against my skin), all my scars have healed. i just wanted to know............will it all come back again later in life? if it helps im only 14 and i eat an extremely low carb diet (ABSOLUTLEY NO bread, corn, potatoes, refined sugar, or processed snack foods!) Also i excersise and enjoy going out with friends. I'm quite thin. Plus, i shower and wash my face twice every day. Sometimes ill wear an oil-free perscribed foundation, as well as mascara and eyeliner. Ocasionally blush and lipstick.
Does this skin eruption indicate my acne treatments are effective?
Hey,
I recently visited a skin specialist and I was put on the GlyMed Plus range of Acne Treatments. They all contain Salicylic Acid at 2-5% concentrations, I also have had my first Salicylic Peel, which I am to repeat every fortnight.
4-5 Days after the peel and starting the products, my skin has been erupting like crazy, but ONLY in the areas I get breakouts to start with, mainly my chin and upper lip area. Luckily, they are all whiteheads, which end up drying and peeling off, but there is about15-20 of them! However, I notice each day they become smaller in size, right now they're the size of a pin-head.
My question is, do the products lift up every impurity out of my pores first and then began to clear my skin?? Also, does this mean the products are effective in terms of there actions?
It is not a severe breakout, but definitely much more than before the peel and using the products! How long does the skin need to purge itself of these disgusting eruptions!?
what do you recommend for preventing acne?
well umm 2/3 months ago i waxed my lip for the first time and like the second time i did it i started to break out on my upper lip area (where i waxed) i thought i was allergic but i've waxed my legs so i cant be allergic to it.. what do u think?
