    Default How Do I Clear My Face Up?

    I'm 20 and still have roughly bad acne.

    I scrub my face as good as I possibly can, yet I still have clearly bad acne. I also have really oily skin. Is it my fault? Am I doing/eating something that could possibly cause this?

    Are there certain foods that make my skin oily? When I take my shower?

    I'd try special skin car products but I'm one for much cash. If there was a relatively cheap product that works please let me know.

    Thanks in advance

    scrubbing your face raw is incredibly bad especially if you have acne.
    you need to try and treat it gently, obviously eating sensibly and drinking enough water are important
    the standard advice is use a gentle oil-free cleanser and stay away from harsh detergents
    basically if you kill off all the oil on the surface your skin goes 'AAAARGH' and ironically starts producing more.

    i've found though that using oil based cleansers - mac does a good one for about £12.00, rubbed GENTLY off with a muslin cloth or flannel and then rose water as a toner followed by rosehip oil works really well.
    you've got to balance your skin.

    if your acne is really really bad then its possible that its either the contraceptive pill or something that you need a course of antibiotics for.
    a friend of mine was on yasmin for a bit and it cleared up her skin no end
    but she tried a different one and her skin went back to spots.

    For acne, maybe you can try doing this:Coriander juice mixed with turmeric powder forms another effective face-pack. It can be applied at bedtime, after thoroughly cleansing the face. You can also use mint juice in place of coriander juice. I use for myself Lily Organics Sensitive Facial Cleanser(unscented) because my skin is so sensitive and i get red when i dont like the product. maybe you can research and find out more

    I recently started using Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash by Noxzema which is formulated for adult skin. Its oil free and alcohol free. (I am not in any way affiliated with Noxzema, I just like this product and decided to share). You can also try crushing up Aspirin (not Tylenol or Advil) mix it with a little bit of tea tree oil or water, make it into a paste and put it on your pimples as a spot treatment. Hold a warm compress to the pimple for a minute so that you can open the pore then cover just the pimple with your Aspirin mask and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes then rinse with cool water. Using cool water will close the pore. You can also place an ice cube on the pimple for a minute after your rinse to reduce the redness. Use the mask once a day because it is drying and you don't want to go from one extreme to the next.

    I hope this helps.

    Get Soft Facial Skin

    I tried this, last morning.

    I mixed the following ingredients together.

    1 lemon
    2 spoonfuls of brown sugar
    2 aspirin

    Juice the lemon and then put the aspirin in the lemon juice. This should soften the asprin to the point where it could be mashed up with a spoon. Then add the brown sugar. Stir thoroughly (or however you spell it)

    Then get a wash cloth and soak it in warm water. Then wipe your face down.

    Then soak the same washcloth in hot water, ring it out, and then lay it over your face for about 5 minutes. (to open the pores.)

    Then apply the mixture over oily areas of the face and leave it there. Apply it to dry areas (make sure you have a lot of the aspirin in this part) and scrub.

    Then apply an oil free moisturizer.

    has undergone countless forms of acne and many ... they have a bunch of . I used to get better, only to get dry skin and chapped lips use the washing of the acne. Uh, that sucked. I recommend you use cleaners like the sweetest face wash Neutrogena. No washing of acne, just wash your face. It's orange and has a smell of tree sap.

    great post briannawt..will share that to my brother...also this might help, cucumber and lemon are also good for pimple treatment. While cucumber can be applied as a face-pack, lemon juice can be applied as an astringent.
