Acne .. ... ... ... and very oily skin?

ThanxAcne .. ... ... ... and very oily skin?
I have dealt with this all my life. One thing I have found out is that you need to use a moisturizer. I always thought that if I did it would make me more oily but it does the opposite! You get oily because your face feels undermoisturized. Make sure you wash your face twice a day, use oil free products, and if things persist see a dermatologist. I had to be put on tons of different medicine over the years and Acutane finally worked (after I used it twice) and my skin is much more manageable.Acne .. ... ... ... and very oily skin?
this article has some good treatments for acne, skincare and much more that will help
If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.


For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.





Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.


Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

We all need to follow a skin care regime that can keep or skin looking and feeling its best. But those of us who suffer from acne must be especially vigilant about the methods and products we use. Acne prone skin is very sensitive to the dyes, perfumes, and chemicals that are in many beauty products. If you have mild to moderate acne, here are the tips and techniques that can help improve the look and condition of your skin.





Acne Skin Care: Dealing With Problem Skin





Beauty Products


You have probably heard of dry skin, oily skin and combination skin. If you have acne, you may have decided that your skin type is either oily or combination. But actually, it's neither of these. Acne prone skin falls into a completely different category: problem skin. Problem skin 鈥?br>




If you are prone to developing acne, you should look for skin care products that are made to deal with acne. Don't use any beauty products that have added dyes and perfumes, as these ingredients can seriously aggravate your blemishes. Use a natural product like Oxy-Skin鈩?for your facial needs.





Nutrition


There are a number of vitamins and minerals that can be used to improve the look and condition of your skin. The mineral zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E, and B-complex vitamins like vitamin B6 are often used to support acne treatment, as these vitamins are very important for the health of your skin. Eating foods that are rich in sulphur may also be helpful as sulphur helps to cure acne. Garlic and onions both contain a good supply of sulphur. Your health care provider may also recommend that you avoid eating sugar, fried foods, or foods that have a high fat content. Also eliminate any sugar based carbonated beverages.





Acne Skin Care: The Dos and Don'ts


Acne prone skin needs special care. Here are the dos and don'ts of caring for skin with acne:





DO





鈥ently wash your skin with warm water and a mild natural facial cleanser. Washing your skin twice a day will help to remove debris and pollutants that could block pores.


鈥hoose oil free cosmetics and beauty products. Regular make up contains fatty acids that are higher in fat than the fatty acids in your skin. Look for organic cosmetics that are made for sensitive or acne prone skin.www.make-up-cosmetics.com





DON'T





鈥ver wash your skin. Excessive scrubbing will aggravate acne and more causes blemishes to open up and spread.


鈥ick your skin. Never pick, squeeze or abrade your acne blemishes. Squeezing a pimple or other blemish can cause permanent scarring. And breaking the scar can allow a secondary bacterial infection to take hold.


鈥moke. Cigarette smoke is a toxin that is destructive to the organs both inside and outside the body.


鈥se skin toners. Skin toners provide extra cleansing to skin, but they are made of very drying ingredients such as alcohol and acetone that could be damaging to skin.


鈥xpose your skin to sun. Many people think that sunlight will improve acne. And while it's true that some sun exposure may help dry up surface acne blemishes, prolonged sun exposure can damage skin and make acne worse in the long run.





Acne Skin Care: The Cover Up


No matter how well you care for your acne prone skin, there will still be times when stress, climate changes, or pollution cause you to breakout with unsightly blemishes. When this happens, you can reduce the appearance by concealing the irritated skin with make up. However, special care is necessary when choosing cover up products and techniques to avoid calling more attention to the area. Here's the best way to conceal acne:





1.Wash and moisturize your face with a gentle facial cleanser. Start with a clean and fresh slate before applying any cosmetic products.


2.Look for a natural cover up product that has a high level of pigment. The more pigment the product has, the less of it you can put on while still getting good coverage. And do a swatch test with the product to ensure that it matches your skin tone exactly. Take a drop of the product and rub it on your skin. It should match your skin tone but you should not be able to see your skin underneath. This will provide the right amount of coverage to conceal a blemish.


3.Apply concealer in natural light. It is very important for your concealer to blend seamlessly with your face.

Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you鈥檙e allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them鈥hat have you got to lose other than the acne!!





1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.





2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It鈥檚 supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.





3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.





4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.





5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.





6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.
use cetaphil products, they're dermatologist reccommended and they really do work, they unclog ur pores and leave ur skin feeling kool and fresh. i have oily skin my self and trust me this works, or just go to a derm.
what works for me is to wash your face after every meal because then you are keeping your face clean which helps a lot. dont touch your face alot becuase your hands are ALWAYS dirty. and keep hair off your face hair has oils in it and the oils makes your face even more oily
Hi, I have a friend that has started using Clear Advantage from Arbonne. She 30 y/o and has been fighting since her teens. She has tried everything and this product was the one that did the trick. You can find it at www.wonderful.myarbonne.com and view it on the online catalog. The only thing is they only ship to the US and Canada.
