Best way to clear up acne...fast?

Answer 1

leeches

Answer 2

Iam a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

In my experience of 12 years alot of commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK! They often contain too much benzoyl peroxide which tends to over dry your skin which causes irritations.

Most of my patients are teenagers and I deal with acne problems and in 12 years most of the products out there have not helped.

PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM if you are under 18, I have a great solution for you!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Answer 3

wash your face with a simple face wash not a oily heavy thick one, also use a simple moisteriser and wash off your makeup afterwards so it doesn't glunk up your pours. whatever you do don't put butter on your face it will only make it more oily hense making your acne worse. if any of this doesn't work go to your doctor and they can prescribe you tablets for it.

Answer 4

dont use it alot becouse your body will get used to it and it will not work anymore but neosporen works awsome and it will remove it and heal it in days. clean the zit hen pop your zit first and then put neosporen on it and then put a bandade or covering on zit.

Answer 5

Best way to clear up acne fast is to use a regulating product and to be consistent.  The products with peroxide or other harsh chemicals will cause your skin to dry and over-produce oil.

Mary Kay Timewise set. The entire set is affordable, it prevents aging, and helps to regulate oil production. The set lasts about 3-4 months if you use it twice daily, so it's very cost effective. You would want to look at combination-to-oily skin classification if you ever break out.

I used to use the Cetaphil antibacterial soap and the lotion. Now that I am a consultant I tried the Mary Kay product to test it myself. I'm 25 and didn't think I had signs of aging already, but I was amazed by how small my pores looked immediately following the treatment, and how the color of my skin regulated after about a week.

You may also want to look at the Microdermabrasion set. It is great to use twice a week for acne-proned skin. Keeps your skin clean, and is not irritating at all. The product uses pharmacy-grade crystals, as opposed to the larger sand particles you see in popular brands like St. Ives.

Check the products out on my website: www.marykay.com/meganwojtas.

Answer 7

drink lots of water, your skin needs to be hydrated, also get lots of sleep. try and not be stessed out... its harder than it sounds, I know. LOL Keep it clean of dirt and oil, wash it with a good mild soap and then use astringent and a light lotion meant for your face...

you should see a difference within a week or so if you keep up with it.

And if not, there's always good makeup to cover it up. ;-)

Answer 13

I ALWAYS asked this question and tried nuetrogena, biore, clean and clear...basically everything. Some products worked, and some didnt...i was stuck in a rut for a few years wiith my bad acne...but the best possible result if you want to know what is good and bad for your skin and how to treat it...is go to the DERMATOLOGIST. Trust me...i have rlly BAD acne... and i went two weeks ago...and my face has never so clear in my whole LIFE :]

Answer 14

a combination of a cleanser, and an astringent. the astringent gets deep down into the pores and gets what you missed. like makeup, or dirt. i like noxzmea original cream cleanser, or stridex alcohol free pads. been using astringent for a week. I use Biore Triple action astringent. its amazing!!

The best way to clear up, is the ProActive clarifying mask. It's crazy! I had a big zit, so I put it on the night before, and it was gone in the morning. Theres also the New Zeno 'Zit Zapper; but its around $100 dollars, while Proactive is cheaper. Good Luck
