I dont have acne really bad but im using cream from a derma and im also on pills. I dont want to have any acne when i go to highschool. Does tanning slow down the process of it getting superior? Im on minocin (minocyline HCI) & i use Differin 0.3. I’ve it on my forhead & below my eyes.

Answer:
i have the answer…. tho tanning does not slow the process but makes spots less obvious (tanning is not good and can cause other long term problems with your skin) first remember sweating increases acne but exercise is always good for you and does generally make your skin look and feel more healthy!

i have had the worst acne you can envision and believe me iknow how distressing it can be, i have had it so bad i cannot even bare to leave my home countless times! but now my skin is almost perfectly clear…. i would advocate going to your physician.. they have suggested many treatments but only one worked!

1. oxytetracyclene (is a tablet taken daily which really does help! tho takes time to work

2. differin gel (adapalene gel) an anti inflamitry which really helps

i just used a simple routine each day although my doctor suggested to use slighty less,

1. first thing in the morning wash face with liquid facial cleansing liquid ( i used clean and clear blackhead clearing cleanser) vigorously cleans and clears pours,

2. wash off all excess cleanser and help clean oils with easy soap ( i would recommend a soap gentle enough to use on your face)

3. apply adapalene gel thickly and grant to dry (should leave your skin feeling smooth and farely dry) , if you feel skin is to dry or you nose is shiny apply a moisturiser such as nivea( will not make your spots worse)

do this once in the morning and same at night ( even though my physician said i should only use adapalene once a day)

also take the oxytetracyclene tablets…. remember these take weeks to have their full effects…

i would just like to state this is simply what i have worked out over 4 years of trying to get rid of spots and this routine has finally worked for me!

go to your doctor and ask them for a solution,

but remember i have tried everything and

1. oxytetracyclene

2. adapalene gel … aka differin gel

are the only treatments that have worked for me

good luck

and remember the routine because it really does work differin does work but only worked for me since i started cleansing heavily before use and using twice a day
