acne! yuck!

i just dont wear makeup (well except eyeliner), i stay out of the sun, try to drink a lot of water,  not to stress out about stuff ! the more you worry about your acne the more stressed youll get and the more blemishes! there shouldnt be any need for moisturizers if youre drinking the right amount of water each day, the key is keeping things OFF your face.

I wrote about this already in make up tips thread but i can repeat it in here.....
the best way really is to go to a dermotologist. u say it's expensive, but between all the things u try that don't work, it is better to invest a little in success.
But, if you can't go to the doc, then try moisterizing your face.
I have tried every product under the sun. Everything suggested in ere i have tried...but nothing worked. not even the birth control, unfortunately. but some people hav varying levels of sensativity.
Acne is a medical problem, it is not because u dont wash your face good enough or because u eat too much pizza. Your skin can't properly shed dead skin cells. hence the pores get clogged.
So, why not make that skin happy and moisterized. Use a moisterizing face wash for sensative skin and a nice moisterizer that helps reduce red marks like Aveeno. Do this once in the morning and once at night and reap the benefits that healthy cared for skin can give u.
Email me if u have further ?s. I don't mind giving an additional help on this. I suffered for years trying everything til i found what worked. So i guess that makes me an expert on stubborn sensative skin.
;O)

i agree not all skin is the same and what works for us or your friends may not work for you.
the one product i really believe in is mario badesceu drying cream, but your best bet is to go to aesthetician and they'll usually let you know what type of skin type you need to take care of. i went to mine and got facials about once a month for half a year and i don't see her anymore but i got used to realizing what my skin needed. I tend to have dry skin so i don't usually wash my face in the morning i just let my natural oils work. and I tend to pay extra attention when i'm having my period. you can also pm me if you have further questions

I agree with all of the water advice, it'll flush the toxins out of your body. As an aesthetician (or faciaist) my favorite at home product is Proactive. Just a word of warning though, start out by onl using t at night for a week or so, and ALWAYS use a moisturizer (the highest quality you can afford. I like Demalogica's Skin Smoothing Cream). If you don't your skin will become too dry, thus producing more sebum (oil) which will in turn plug up your pores, leaving you back at square one.


anyone care for a challenge?

Yeah brushes and sponges are only good if you clean them every time which most people don't.
I use clinique products now as they have a good range of antibacterial stuff, including a body spray which is good for reaching spots on chest and back area.

Although my spots have all gone now thanks to medication, I still have very dirty pores.
What do you guys recommend for pore cleaning? Have any of you ever tried microdermabration?

Never tried it but I heard it works wonders. I also see infomercials with that chick from a soap opera for a handheld device that does the microdermabration. It would be much cheaper than getting it done professionally.

sorry never had it
