I moved this year and my face has been breaking out more and more. I'd gotten bad breakouts once in a while before I moved, but now I constantly have blackheads, acne, and build up.. I've tried all different cleansers and nothing is helping..

Does anyone know what I can do to mend this?

Answer:
Water isn’t causing your acne breakouts. There is some research that suggests the hormones found in dairy products and a western diet in general may be a factor, but there are many others. Hormones, heredity, greasy cosmetics, stress, humid polluted climates, irritation to the skin, chafing, and squeezing pimples all can contribute to acne.
Answer:
I had really bad acne!! And ever since I was in HS I wanted to go on birth control, (I was a virgen but my mother wouldn't let me because going on birth control is a sign of being sexually active) I wasn't though. I actually started about 7 months ago (a whole semester after I had left home for college) and within weeks I saw results! No more breakouts or anything. However, if you don't want hormones in your body, or your mom doesn't let you get on them I suggest using St, Ives Apricot Scrub, you can get it at target. I used to use clean and clear before and it would make me break-out. BUT we all have different skin types and what not! again I’m only telling you what worked for me.
Answer:
don’t use clean and clear products it does nothing. i tried everything. st. ives i mean everything. my mother took me to the doctors he sugusted a product called la roche-posay. it cost like around 60-158 dollars. i truly works i been using it for 1 weeks and my face is clear!!! also ask for chemical peels to remove the blackheads and everything. trust me it works.

Water DOES NOT CAUSE ACNE!!!!!!!!

In my experience of 12 years a lot of commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK! They contain way too much benzoyl peroxide which over dries your skin and causes irritations. Often they contain too much of what you dont need, or too little of what you do need!

PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM if you’re under 18, I’ve a great solution for you!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I’ll 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 grants 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.

If you’re a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you’ve severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are several 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’re young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they’re 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 comprehend what I’m 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’ve astonishing products for breakouts and they make them specifically for each kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will purchase 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’ve 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truly magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you’ll 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

Good Luck to you,
