Best Acne Skin Care Products
The past couple of weeks I’ve been breaking out (I'm guessing stress) I’ve never been prone to long break outs.
I’ve been using Biore cleanser with no avail. Does anyone use a spot treatment that works? I'm starting to look completely ridiculous lol
I put a dab of it on the effected area at night and it works over night.
I either wake up with the acne less red or completely gone.
Try it :]
The best product that you can run to any store to get is Neutrogena. It's light so that it does create more breakouts from the oil, or cause your skin to dry out.
I personally use the soup from Neutrogena. It costs around $2.50 and last for about a month. Stick it in the shower and each time your in there just rub your hands across it, get them soapy and wash your face and other needed parts such as back and/or chest area.
The ideal product you can get besides that is Proactive. I'm sure you've seen plenty of commercials and it is definitely worth the $50 you pay for it. If you’ve heavy acne its a great way to clear it up, and if you’ve light acne then just do spot treatments, which can give you the same effect but lasts longer.
Many times you'll have to order it by phone or online, though sometimes you might find it in the mall. Get the “3 Step” solution. It's their “for beginners” and it comes with 1. Renewing Cleanser. 2. Revilizing Toner. and 3. Repairing Lotion.
-It surprisingly works very, very well and something you can use for the rest of your life without your body becoming accustomed.
Once a week steam to open pores, do this by putting your head over hot water with a towel over it, but don't do this dueing breakouts as it stimulates blood flow and oil glands. Exfoliate weekly to scrub off dead skin, use something with rounded beads to avoid damage to your skin which can cause more spots, or you might want to try cosmetic vinegar which also promotes circulation, regulates skins pH and is antiseptic. Mix 500ml of apple cider vinegar, 3ml lavender essential oil, 3ml rosemary essential oil, 2ml rosewood essential oil, and 2 tablespoons glycerine, place into a glass bottle, use as cleanser by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 cup of water. Try masks too, there are several simple recipes online, see Make Your Own Cosmetics http://www.makeyourcosmetics.com or Pioneer Thinking http://www.pioneerthinking.com try this strawberry acne mask; mix together ½ cup fresh strawberries, 1 egg white, and 2 teaspoons of honey until smooth. To use spread over face and leave for 15 minutes, rinse off with cool water and pat dry. This one is good as strawberries are rich in salicylic acid which is commonly used in acne treatments, honey is also antibacterial.
Keep yourself healthy, diet is a large factor so get a healthy diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables and lots of water, but also avoid salty foods as iodine aggravates acne, also try a good multivitamin - vitamins A, B6, zinc and chromium help to clean up acne (FYI chromium also helps suppress sugar cravings). Get plenty of exercise, sleep and stay stress-free, also pay particular attention to skin during harsh weather when it's more prone to damage, that includes using sunscreen at all times. Make-up isn't a problem if you use mineral foundation which has great coverage but doesn't clog pores, also keep your make-up clean as dirty sponges or hands in make-up will cause bacteria which in turn causes spots. Avoid products like hairsprays with synthetic polymers such as vinyl or other plastics, that is because if it gets onto the skin on your face, as it does if spraying all over your head even if aiming for your hair, it will clog pores particularly where there are more massive pores such as on the chin or mouth.
I've even tried ProActiv and it is better than that. ![]()
