Will this routine clear up my skin?
I'm a 15 year old girl with combination oily/dry skin and pretty severe acne. Will doing this clear me up in a few weeks?
Morning- Clean and Clear's morning burst shine control facial cleanser and oil free moisturizer
When I get home from school-Wash off make up with moistruizing cleanser
Before bed-Wash face with Aveeno's exfoliating skin brightening cleanser and apply differn (topical prescribed by dermotologist)
Once a week-Peel off facial mask
If I do this, wear less make up, pull back my bangs at night and drink lots of water will my skin clear up within 3 weeks?
any other ideas?
thanks :)
how to permanently clear acne?
I don't have severe acne. But I have little pimples scattered all over my face. I have tried EVERYTHING. I use Duac, Retin-A, and Doxycycline all prescribed by my dermatologist. Sometime my skin will get clearer but there is ALWAYS something. It is NEVER clear. I have also tried numerous cleansers and over the counter spot treatments. NOTHING works! It really affects my self esteem and I want to get rid of it so badly. Can you tell me any products that worked for you? If you tried everything like I have was there one that finally got rid of your acne for good?
Need help finding right foundating for me please!! please help!! :)!?
Okay I'm 16 almost 17- First off, I hear it's good to wear foundation to protect your skin from chemicals, etc, but I also heard it's bad for your skin, especially if you're young like me. Is this true?? Anyway, so my skin is normal to dry- No severe acne - A few pimples here and there and some blackheads too but nothing serious. A little freckles. Well I want really really clear skin and I went looking for a foundation and picked up Maybelline liquid foundation but i'm not really noticing a difference-So is powder foundation better or something?? It said shin-free foundation so I don't know if this one was specifically made for anti-shine..Thanks for your help!!!

60% Glycolic Acid Peel ?
Is it safe to do a 60% glycolic acid peel once a week?
I've had severe acne for a while and recently (a few months ago), I started doing these peels at home. I've had them done before dozens of times at the derm (40-50%), but I got sick of going so I bought the solution from licensed companies online and carry out the procedure myself. I follow all the steps and precautions...and I see little improvement over time, so I am thinking about stepping it up.
After the peel my skin is dry and looks good, but then a few days later, it slowly returns back to each oily state. I'm thinking if I do them once a week, I'll control my oily skin and will be free of breakouts??
Thank you in advance!
What other methods should I use for my breakouts?
I breakout. It's not even terribly noticeable (Mostly because my bangs tend to cover it. And don't think my hair is causing it because it was just the same before I got bangs.)
Just like anyone else, I don't like it.
I get white heads here and there. Every once and a while I get some that are deeper (kind of like under the skin), and some are just little bumps that don't look like pimples they just look like...well, little bumps. All of this for the most part happens on my forehead and some on my nose.
I don't have sensitive skin.
I have a skin care routine as well. Mornings I use warm water, clearasil daily face wash to get out all of the oil and dirt, and then follow it with clearasil Ultra to prevent breakouts. I repeat this at night before I go to bed as well. I use oil free moisturizer and make up. And I'm careful to not use more than necessary. Even most of the week I don't wear make up because I'm in my house a good majority of the time.
This is not severe acne. Just the typical breakouts. I don't have a lot of stress and I don't work in a dirt filled environment.
What else can I do? My routine is good enough to keep it somewhat controlled but it's not enough.
I've tried A LOT of other products and nothing has really worked.
Any tips?
Can dry skin prevent more breakouts?
I recently started experimenting with a new face wash which is doing a very good job. It cleared up all my severe acne in just a week or so and its mainly because it is a soap based cleanser so it leaves my skin fairly dry and oil free. I know that this can be harmful and unhealthy for the skin, but I gave the whole dry approach a try and its working fairly well. I even use green tea to dry out small outbreaks even more. It has been helping a lot with the severe acne and is certainly doing much more than my previous methods of moisturizer and creams. I still get some flare ups but I am wondering is this from the existing skin/acne/hormone problem I have or is the dry skin actually starting to react badly?
How do I get perfect skin in a cheap way?
I am a junior in high school. In 10th grade I started getting zits. I used to have perfect skin and now all of a sudden it started changing. I do not have SEVERE acne, I just. well, on my chin and nose I have blackheads and on my fore-head I get these clear bumbs that don't hurt or anything and do not go away and you cannot see them from far away..but the bad thing is, is that I started picking them. Now they are more noticeable and I have a couple acne scars. I do not know how to get my healthy looking, zit free skin again. What can I do that is cheap? I've heard that DIAL SOAP works but I don't know for sure.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I don't know what to do, I always dwell on them.
there obviously is if my three of my friends have it. they only wash their face with soap. that is it. nothing else.
