Question: How to get rid of my acne?

(Posted by: ✿LoveLikeWhoa✿ on 2010-07-30 10:42:06)

What products should I use? What should I do? I drink 8 glasses of water a day but my skin is the same still. :(

It's just a matter of time. Water isn't going to be the only magical solution to use. Try to avoid oily and caffeinated foods when possible. Always keep your face clean. Wash your face with a face wash like twice a day or everytime you come from outside. And this may sound silly, but shampoo twice a week. Bc when you're cleaning your hair, you are also cleaning the top of your face. But don't overscrub or wash bc those chemicals can irritate your skin and cause even more problems. Hope I helped & & good luck :)

Well congrats the first step is recognition and you are there. While drinking the water you must also remember what you eat affects acne. A lot of crap shows up on you face such as favorites like french fries, pizza and such. Try to stick to a diet available at my pyramid.gov.with lots of fruits and veggies Also remember to wash your face when it feels oily but especially when you wake up and go to sleep. Exfoliating is another good idea. After either exfoliating astringentng make sure you use an astrThat's Pretty rid of access dirt. Thats preety much it good luck!

I'm 14 and used to have the same problem. Washing your face every morning and night helps. The clean and clear advantage acne kit really helped clear up my face. Using astringent on your face one to three times a day drys the natural oils on your face and prevents pimples from getting infected. When a pimple first pops up, DON'T TOUCH IT!!! The oils on your hands irritate the pimples. Hold an ice cube to the pimple and it should reduce the redness and swelling. Last but not least, get outside. The sun helps naturally dry your skin. just don't stay out too long or you'll get sunburned. Hope I helped!!

Make your own face mask and exfoliater. Here is an exfoliater: Mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda with a few drops of warm water. Massage the paste over your face and rinse with warm water over the sink. Do this at least twice every week. Now here are some face masks: Oatmeal-Yogurt Mask for OILY SKIN- Mix 2 tablespoons of uncooked oatmeal and 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Honey-Oatmeal Mask for DRY SKIN- Mix 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of uncooked oatmeal. Yogurt-Cucumber Mask for SENSITIVE SKIN- Puree 2 tablespoons of yogurt with 1/ 4 cup of peeled and sliced cucumber. Use a cotton ball to pat the mask onto your face and rinse with cool water. Do these masks twice a week THIS STUFF REALLY HELPS! To get rid of acne also do this: Stay hydrated! Don't touch your skin a lot. Wash your face every morning gently with soap and water. Don't pick at your zits, it will leave scars. Wash your pillow case often about once a week. At night, put toothpaste on your zit and leave it on the whole night. Wash it off in the morning.
