It's ruining my face cause even after they go away, they leave those scars/marks/dark spots and keep coming back again ;( can you please recommend which face wash, toner and moisturizer to use so that I never see those nasty bumps again?? Right now I'm planning on buying ambi fade cream for those dark spots/blemishes left by pimples. I dunno what to do, please, I'd appreciate any help!
Why in the world do I keep getting pimples, whiteheads and blackheads!?!?
I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.
After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.
Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.
Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!
Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?
However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.
However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.
Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.
If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.
The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.
The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.
Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?
Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:
www.aboutyourskincare.com
You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.
Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.
They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.
A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):
Night time:
1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer
Morning:
1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
2. Moisturizing cream
The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com
As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.
Good Luck to you,
MichelleWhy in the world do I keep getting pimples, whiteheads and blackheads!?!?
this because you don't follow the skin beauty routine to keep your face clean and clear
first wash your face with ANTI BLEMISH SOLUTIONS CLEANSING FOAM from clinique
then apply this tonic TONING LOTION ALCOHOL FREE WITH CAMOMILE from clarnies
then apply the day cream ANTI BLEMISH SOLUTIONS DAYTIME SHIELD from clinique
in the night apply MULTI ACTIVE NIGHT CREAM from clarnies
weekly scrub your face with EXFOLIATING SCRUB from clinique
this routine will behave your face wonderful , blieve my you will very surprise by the results you will get
Wash your face before you go to bed, and after you wake up.
I recomend: Neutrogena acne wash, followed by Clean%26amp;Toner, and finished off with Clean%26amp;Clear moisturizer.
For your black heads, you could try biore nose strips, once a week.
I personally, remove white heads cause they're sick, and they dont scar me.
And make sure to use a face scrub once every three days to help remove dead skin and built up oil (St.Ives blackhead and blemish scrub is very good).
Dont buy anything it just empties your wallet most of them dont work atall.
Make sure you NEVER! pop it it will cause bruising or scarring.. Try a piece of ice. This reduces swelling and redness, and also makes it to where you are not able to see the pimple nearly as well.
Drink lots and lots of water. Water helps the skin to remove toxins that may cause acne. Also try using lemon juice to wash your face.
If you have honey and cinnamon then make a mixture of 1 陆 tablespoons of honey and 陆 teaspoon of cinnamon. Apply to face before going to bed. Wash it off in the morning. This may help to dry out a pimple. (Honey and Cinnamon have been linked to many different home remedies for many different ailments)
Hope it works for you!
