Acne help?
Answer:
I have a great book that helped me alot with my acne problems.
For a pimple that you feel forming, you can ice it for 15 minutes on and off (its always works for me), or you can put a dab of clay face mask on it for half an hour or overnight.
For the tight and white acne apply neosporin to it before you go to bed, this should soften it up. An alum block has many uses, dampen it and rub it on a whitehead and by morning it should be gone, and for pimples rub it twice a day. It also works as a deoderant and stops small cuts from bleeding.
For sensitive skin, avoid the products that have lanolin, mint menthol,camphor, enzymes, and alpha hydroxy acid. These can irritate your skin. Also stay away from heavy fragranced lotions, and essential oils (though they are natural they can still irritate your skin).
Good luck!
i use proactive.
it works for me..
Use foam cleansers.
DIFFERIN.. it kicks ***!
Cetaphil soap, of course
tea tree oil, put it on your face at nice, smells funny but works
folic acid tablets
drink LOTS of water and watch what you eat is the best remedy
Try using a mild soap like Cetaphil on sensitive areas.
Also, if you can, check with a dermatologist. Benzoyl-peroxide cream works pretty well, sometimes it's mixed with an antibiotic called Clindamycin.
But a dermatologist should know best (it is their job after all).
Hope it helped!

Yes, proactiv really is the best thing ever. But tips that doesn't involve lotion:
Watch what you eat. Oily or salty foods can lead to oil skin.
Expholiate, expholiate, expholiate. Can't stress that enough. They have special expholiation face clothes that are a little tougher then wash clothes. I suggest finding one of those.
DON'T PICK. seriously. You might say "Oh, but it's just on the surface" but then you start picking your entire face. So try and refrain from that.
be careful what make up you use if you do use some. That can really clog up your poors.
Don't pull back your hair too tight. I don't know why, but it gives you acne.
You can try the aveeno line for clear complexions. i've found the on-the-spot stick that i can't remember the name of works pretty good for me. and depending on the size and severity of the pimple, i sometimes use carmex. one of my friends told me that if you lay out in the sun dilute clorox by a lot and dab that on the zits and it'll take care of it too.
I use proactive too...it helps but is expensive.
My skin is really sensitive too.
I had luck also with Clean and Clear by clearasil.it didn't irritate my skin. Another one I've heard of is Cetaphil...that it's great for sensitive skin.
I'd try the Clean and Clear before spending the money on proactive...if your acne is mild, it may do the trick. Cleanser and a toner should help.
Good luck!
I saw a dermatologist for years, it only helped a little. I have very sensitive skin and acne products make me break out more. Someone recommended to me using Alpha and Beta hydroxy and glycolic washes and creams. I use Peter Thomas Roth. I buy it at ULTA. If there's no ULTA around you he has a web site. Also you can look for cheaper things that use those ingredients. Hope this helps.
Do NOT use Proactiv. Use purpose soap and moisturizers- blotting cloths help with oil. But you should see a dermy to get some cream that wont hurt you. I use differin gel- it is working well> but if you have to go over the counter get non-comedogenic stuff that doesnt flare up acne.
Burt's Bees garden tomato complexion soap or if that is too harsh for you try the wild lettuce complexion soap (supposed to be better for sensitive skin). Use soap to lather up a washcloth and gently wash face, the washcloth helps exfoliate the skin and leaves ur face feeling softer. After washing use a witch hazel astringent (like Dickinson's witch hazel astringent), let dry and then find a lotion that works for you (personally I use Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self-Tanners for Fair Skin Tones) and lightly moisturize face. The witch hazel astringent and some sort of face lotion is a must for me, but I've noticed that every couple of months I have to switch out soap (like right now I'm using Irish Springs). I've tried just about everything you can think of and this system, however basic it may seem, works the best for me. Also, if you do happen to get a spot use a spot treatment like Clean & Clear Maximum Strength Persa-Gel 10. Rub it into the area before bed and by morning it should be drastically reduced, use every night until completely gone.
p.s. most of these products can be found at kroger's, walgreen's, and walmart.
