Acne on my cheeks and chin?
I have a habit of put my hands over my cheeks to keep people from staring at me. I tried proative...it burns a little...does that mean that it's working and I need to continue using the product? Please...anyone..any suggestions? I need help!
Answer:
Be sure you are not touching your face with your hands. Like resting your chin in your hands or sleeping with your hands near your face.
I cleared up quite a bit when I quit touching my face. Something about the oil in my hands? Don't know, but it worked.
tea tree oil is not only good at covering up spots and acne but it helps cure and prevent them. you should be able to buy a tea tree oil cover stick from your local chemist
I also have adult acne. I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide which is the main ingredient in Proactive Solution.
There is a line of products available at pharmacies (Riteaid, CVS, Walgreens) by Johnson & Johnson called Clean and Clear. They make cleansers and oil-free moisturizers. They contain salicylic acid, but they are gentler and they take care of my acne. They also make oil blotting sheets, that come in a small light blue box. I carry them in my purse and use them a couple of times a day to blot off the excess oil. It takes the oil off your skin, but doesn't remove your makeup.
The entire line is reasonably priced and like I said, it works for me.
If it burns, it might be because of the open scars of older pimples.
But if it burns everywhere... that product is not for you!
Burning and dry skin are the two general signs that a skin product is reacting badly to your skin (and vice versa).
Strong products isn't the solution. Your skin doesn't regenerate like that of a teenager, so those type of products can do more damage than good.
You need something more adapted to your skin. Something a little less "Shopping TV"-like.
I know two lines that are interesting : Biotherm and Vichy.
For Biotherm's collection, follow this link:

And for Vichy, go here :

They both have lines of products working by both group age and problem type. And they're both very affordable (even more that Pro-Active).
I don't know much bout Biotherm, except that it's excellent. Many of my friends use it. If I ever switch skin-care products, it'll be the line I'll use.
I, personally, use Vichy's Normaderm collection for acne-prone and damaged skin. I used to have a lot of acne problems (I'm in my mid-twenties) before I used it. I tried all the strongest stuff I could find, until the beauty-technician at my pharmacy said being rough with my skin was only making things worse. So she gave me samples of products to try on and Vichy gave me results in 1 day!
The next day, my skin wasn't as oily, it didn't pull or itched and my acne had already started to dry out! In one week, you couldn't tell I had acne anymore, just a little redness.
If you don't want to throw your money away, ask for samples. If the beauty-technician sees a chance of profit, there's no way she'll say no.
Aside from that, do you use any moisturizer? In our group age, oil and acne can be caused by the fact that your skin is TOO DRY! When that happens, the glands under your skin secrete waves after waves of oil in a desperate attempt to hydrate your skin! That was my case.
So, whatever anti-acne product you use, make sure you've got some moisturizer... any moisturizer. Dove and Oil of Olay both make moisturizers under 5$. But you need to have one!
One last thing: the Sun makes acne worst, especially this time of year (up 'till the middle of july). So find some facial sunscreen (don't use any sunscreen, too greasy). Find one for the face. I think Dove's face moisturizer already has some sunscreen in it.
If you suffer from mild, moderate or even severe hemorrhoid symptoms, instant relief is just a click away. Try Zenmed ZIRO, Zenmed Hemorrhoid System. I found this product one day while surfing the internet and thought I would give it a try. To my delight it worked right away.
I have been using the product for about one month now, and I must admit having relief from the pain and burning is priceless.
I would not hesitate to suggest for anybody that suffers from hemorrhoids.
