PLEASE help ! my acne treatments make my skin oily !?
in the morning - burt's bees exfolating shower soap.
witch hazel
no mosturizer (im afraid of clogging pores)
after school - apple cider vinegar diluted with water
befor bed - same as morning, except with honey & cinnamon on trouble spots.
this makes my skin shiny & oily - why ?? what should i do ?
Is my skin care regiment okay?
I'm not sure if i'm using too many different products on my skin or if they are stopping the others from working, so please help.
I haven't been using this routine for very long so i can't tell you if its treating my acne yet. But if its going to make it worse than i would like to know fast, so here it is. I use an off brand of St. Ives Apricot scrub, and a few times a day i use Clean & Clear advantage acne spot treatment. And sometimes when i come inside after working on something and my face is all sweaty, i use a Witch hazel astringent pad with aloe to freshen myself up a bit & i also heard witch hazel will help even out my skin tone.
& also since that witch hazel is an astringent will it still work as an anti agent?
Im gonna start a new skin routine?
So im planning on starting a new skin routine and I have oilyish skin around my forehead and dry skin around me cheeks and chin so I have combination skin and acne on my forehead, side of head and little bit on cheeks
Morning-Night
Cetaphil daily cleanser for all skin types
Dickison's Witch Hazel
Cetaphil daily moisurizing lotion or Vasaline
Burt's Bees Acne Spot Treatment
In shower 1-3 times a week-
St. Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control
So whats yours thoughts on it I already have the Cetaphil Cleanser, Vasaline and St. Ives, I also have Aveeno Daily moiusturizer for dry skin
Thanks!!!!!
Any home remedies for chest acne?
I have acne on my chest. its not that bad all the time, just really bad before my period, but its still there all the time. i went to my dermatologist and he gave me antibiodics for 2 weeks and at first it got worst, then better, now its back to normal. im on birth control but it looks better when im on the pill instead of off it. is there any home remedies that works? my friend suggested witch hazel and vinegar which helped some but not enought
Dry Skin and deep Acne?
When i was a teenager i had the random actual pimple, probably around my period the most i'm sure, and they were small and managable. Now i am 24 and have bad acne, not like a million zits everywhere, like 5 really big ones and 15 small ones, mostly in clusters. I've tried every brand of everything, three step products including: Proctive, Clinique and Acne sets ups from the stores such as Dove, Neutrogena... etc. I've tried spot treatments, cleansing pads, homemade remedies such as Rose witch hazel .. this list goes on.
Nothing. Instead they may work for a little while, but then my skin grows an immunity like to it and i'm back to big nasty zits.
I hear its from stress, because i'll leave on vacation from work and come back glowing, and within a week i'm back to 'normal'
it has been like this since i started working a stressful 8-5'er.
Now i have dark spots and it makes it look worse.
I need a miracle!
Any suggestions?

No my acne isnt really serious its not too bad i just figure i should get rid of it before it gets worse!!!
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!!
Is Witch Hazel safe to use for acne treatment?
I've heard that witch hazel is good for clearing up acne, bruises and skin irritations, is that true? Some people say it works great for clearing up skin irritations but I've also heard people say it can do more damage than good. If it is safe to use, what is the best way to apply it?
