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?
How can I help my very oily skin?
I used to have very dry skin when I was younger. Now I am almost 30 and my skin just keeps getting oiler and oiler. I do not have acne or blackheads but I do have large pores. I use a pack of blotting papers in a week and I'm still OILY! I hear that witch hazel is a good product to try but where do I find it, what does it look like and what is the recommended usage of it?
I have already read tons of postings from other people about oily skin but they all seemed to be teenagers. I am constantly embarassed by my skin and really need some advice. I am seriously thinking about seeing a dermatologist but I have to wonder if insurance would pay for the medication they subscribe.
Any thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks!
PS- I have used every expensive and inexpensive skin care line you can imagine over the years!!
Best moisturizer for dry acne skin?
So I have started using Skin ID by neutrogena. My regimen is a cream clenser/mask, toner, and anti-acne treatment. It's been working pretty good but the only thing is it drys out my face really bad. So does anyone know a mosturizer that doesnt cause acne and helps with dry skin? Also with SPF maybe? Also do I use the mosturizer before my skin care regimen and then rinse it off when I do my regimen or after?
what are your best homemade acne remedies?
for the most part, i have totally clear skin if i stick to my skin care routine, but every once in a while i get really deep, painful zits usually on my nose, but i can shake them in a day or so. i got one the other day on the side of my nose, and it is so big and ugly and painful and i cant stand another second with it. i've spent the past hour trying to make it at least hurt less, i've done 2 face washes, 5 scrubs, a mask, my wave, a spot treatment, an i even tried toothpaste, and it looks no different. i cant go to longs or anything anytime soon and i need it to be gone by tomorrow or i'll go nuts, so i need a really good, fast working homemade acne treatment, does anyone know one? also, i only need one or two, so dont send me to a site with over 100 or anything cuz then i'll just get confused. and dont make them too weird, make the ingredients stuff i would have
and changman, did you even read the question, what do you think i've been doing for the past hour
argh, what is with all these ppl saying wash your face, read the stinkin question!!!
How to get rid of white/blackheads and bumps on forehead?
I had acne when I was younger, which it's not a problem now. I do have white and blackheads on my forehead that just won't seem to go away. What could be the cause and solution for this skincare problem? I wash my face daily and I have access to some great skin care solutions and still nothing is helping.
How to cover up my acne?
I take school pictures in 2 days! I'm freaking out because I have a lot of acne. I am very faithful about my skin care regimen. I use a spot treatment and everything!
I do use foundation,but not everyday. However, I need to know how to cover up my acne without my makeup being too cakey, because it seems like I either have light makeup with visible acne, or a lot of makeup with just bumps!
I'm just really upset because nothing I try works, and my mom said maybe she will take me to a dermatoligist in a few months, but that doesn't help for my pictures that I take in two days!
Or do you know any home remedies or anything that will make my acne less noticeable?
What is the best skin care facial product for severe acne?
Im am a teenager with severe acne/blackheads and oily skin type. For daily use, I wash my face with a light foam cleanser but it isnt doing much help for my acne. (I also use witch hazel toner) I have heard from many people that nutregena and proactive work realy well. But I have also heard that proactive has alot of chemicals in it that can OVER dry your skin. I usually wear makeup to school to hide my hideous face full of acnes. If any of you out there has had this experience and/or know a few things about treating acne, PLEAAAASE give me suggestions and any skin care products you recomend. Thank you so much and all your help is appreciated!
how to get rid of acne in a week???? Please!!!!?
Okay so im all set for school but i have 1 problem-some pretty bad acne!!! i don't have a ton of those big zits but a lot of little to medium ones all over my chin, nose, and forehead. They are very noticeable!! This is my daily skin care routine
Morning:
1. Loreal 360 exfoliating scrub (the orange one, with the scrub-let)
2. Biore triple action astringent
3. Clean and Clear acne advantage spot treatment
Night:
1. Biore daily recharge foaming cleanser
2. Biore triple action astringent
3. Clean and clear acne advantage spot treatment
Weekly:
1. Biore Weekly pore strips (nose)
2. Some type of face mask.
So i can't buy proactive or any of that stuff or really any storebought products, so i need home remedys. DO NOT SAY TOOTHPASTE!!! I tried that and it burned my face!! so i need some help big time. This is really starting to bother me because i swear i can't name even 1 of my friends who has more that a little blackhead. I really really need some help!!! I use concealer but i always sweat it off. I just really want some clear skin.. PLEASE!!
ok i ment like 1 or 2 storebought products i just cant order the proactive, skin id, maxclarity ect ect. i cant do the asprin thing cause 1. we dont have asprin and 2. my mom thinks its rediculus...anyway what loreal 360 works the best???
okay for the asprin thing would motrin/iveprofen work as a substetute?
whats your favorite/the best….?
im going to walgreens and sephora to get new makeup and skin care stuff and i was wondering what your favorite
department store and drug store
acne wash
acne facial mask
acne treatment
and acne moisturizer everything needs to be oil free and non comendogenic (wont clog pores) or cause acne. and if you have any home remedies please list. i am SOOO beyond tired of acne and i want to get rid of it.
thanks so much!
How is large pore skin more prone to having acne? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
"Open pores are thought to make skin prone to acne, blackheads, and pimples because dead skin cells tend to block the pores resulting in a build up of sebum."-http://www.hair-n-skin-care.com/askquestion/3166/open-skin-pores-causes-growth-of-acne-and-blackhea.html
My thinking is that larger pores are less prone to having acne, because the sebum can actually come out as opposed to getting stuck underneath small pores skin which causes acne.
So I am very confused. Clarifications would be very helpful.
Thank you !
Hey Samatha, thank you for your input so far. Yes I think your answer seems plausible, and, importantly, it has addressed my question. I am only still confused about whether it is better to have larger pore skin or smaller.
when both has its consequences.
