Can someone help me with acne issues? Im moving to holland and I have no idea how to soothe my inflamed skin.?

Question

I have very oily and sensitive skin. Its been 8 years since its been clear. Even a change in the water quality leads to a break out. I use natural face washes, with no chemicals, and a mild chlorophyll gel to moisturize. that's all i put on my face. but of course that doesnt prevent the underground big painful ones or the pink bumps which come up on the forehead or the temples or cheeks.

right now i have no pimples cos i was on antibiotics for a health reason. but ever since i stopped the antibiotics my skin has gone back to its angry, red and irritated look.

Now im moving to the netherlands to study, and i haven't got a clue what to do to soothe my skin. Id really appreciate help cos im super tired of being red faced and havn't looked pretty since i was 13 :(

Answer 1

skinid.com they can help you with a quiz about your skin type and get a 3 step system just for you by mail.

Answer 2

just go to the dermatologist and get a prescription for an antibiotic. It is specifically for acne and really helps me.  

Answer 3

Often fewer products are better.  People often make their acne worse by using too many products.  There is no quick fix for acne.  Your doctor may recommend some prescription medication.  Keep your face very clean.  Drink plenty of water.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  Try to reduce the stress in your life.  Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.   Here are a few informative links with additional home treatment ideas.

Answer 4

you could get a facial or laser treatment. It may be like 400 dollars but it's worth it. The right doctor can make your skin beautiful and clear. some even give you a certificate or coupons to come back. The certificate says that if your skin has any problems you can come back for free or at discounted price.

Answer 5

i suggest you use a face wash with benzoly peroxide (at least 5% and no more than 10%). apply it to your face about 3-5 minutes after getting in a steamy shower. the steam will open your pores allowing the face wash to penetrate and more effectively do its job. also, make sure you are drinking plenty of water and green tea, girl! and lay off the caffine because your body processes caffine the same way it processes stress which makes you break out. if you have red spots, ice them to reduce redness and inflamation, then follow with a cortizone lotion (this has a steriod that calms and soothes redness) good luck and i hope this helps!
