Dry face and acne help please!?

Question

I was using this face was I bought from Target, and it was working great, but my little sister got a hold of it and threw it away (she didn't know any better) Anyways, I went back to Target, and found Clean and Clear morning Burst and thought "Hey, i'll try this" and now my faces is really dry, it's really tight and uncomfortable and nothing I'm doing is making the discomfort go away. I stopped washing my face with it after I first started getting symptoms, and now, my acne is starting to pop back up. This is pretty inconvenient, because in 4 days I've got an audition for this class I'm wanting to attend -_-

So, Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to

#1 Get rid of this dry skin

#2 reduce my acne ( I don't totally have to get rid of it, I can just cover it with makeup)

Please Keep your answers civil =)

and help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to keep your face moisturised - if you want to try a natural approach you should give Jojoba oil a try which you can get from any health or natural supermarket.  All you need is a few drops.

You can also put some on and then cover your face with a hot flannel to let it steam and then wipe it all off and splash your face with some cold water!

Also, mineral makeup might be the way to go for covering it up - it is spose to be better for your skin

Good luck :)

Answer 2

Go to Dermatologists don't go for drugstore c**p. I suffer from acne so I should know! They will give you meds to control the acne and moisturizers for your skin type. Please listen to me!

Answer 3

yeah ive used that face wash before.

it never worked for me and it made my face dry.

so if your face is becoming dry when you use it you should put lotion on your face so your face will not be dry.

or just get a different product cuz tht one doesnt really work at all.

Answer 4

I understand your question. First of all stop using the product or any other. You must cure your skin condition naturally. Before bed make a mixture of equal amounts of rose water and glycerin, mix, and apply with cotton wool all over face. wash off in morning this will help against dry skin and spots. for more http://epictureperfect.net/beauty_remedi...

Here are some tips ... :D :D

1. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. You can

easily create juices and smoothies using ripe fruit or consume one

salad daily, even as just a side dish. You can also pop in nuts

and dried fruits in between meals.

Brazil nuts have selenium while pumpkin seeds contain zinc – both

these minerals are lacking in people with acne. So take in lots of

these two.

2. Try to drink at least two liters of still mineral water

daily. When the skin is dehydrated, dead skin cells remain on the

skin which may block pores and promote acne.

3. If you have been prescribed antibiotics to control your

acne, remember that antibiotics destroy all kinds of bacteria in

your digestive tract – even good bacteria. Without good bacteria,

you will have poor digestion, constipation, and be less able to

absorb essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients.

This, in turn, may lead to increased acne production since your

body cannot expel waste effectively. Toxins pass through your skin

instead. To prevent this from occurring, replace the good bacteria

in your digestive tract with a good quality probiotic.

4. You may try consuming some supplements since your diet may

not incorporate every vitamin, mineral and nutrient necessary to

getting and keeping clear skin. Some supplements are really

helpful to people with acne, such as:

• Maca – This is a powdered root vegetable from Peru that

balances and stabilizes the systems of your body while normalizing

hormones. Maca also has a lot of essential amino acids,

phytochemicals, fatty acids, and minerals such as iodine, silica,

potassium, iron, magnesium and calcium.

• Manuka honey – This one possesses strong antibiotic,

antiviral and antiseptic elements. It is great for the skin, as

well as for digestive disorders.

5. Rely only on natural skin-care products. Many skin-care

products on supermarket shelves have chemicals which can worsen

your acne. Too many chemicals can strip your skin of its natural

oils, meaning the skin will overproduce oil to compensate – thus

blocking your pores and causing more acne to show up.

Use only products with natural ingredients or try to use fewer

products to allow your skin to naturally heal.

Should you wear makeup, use formulas that are listed as

non-acnegenic or non-comedogenic.

Some products you can use are:

• Tea tree oil body wash – This product can be used for the

entire body, including the face.

• Tea tree oil – This product has antiseptic, antiviral and

antibacterial functions. It is remarkable for use by acne

sufferers. Use a cotton bud to apply this product to the acne

blemishes.

• Neem soap – This product is very good for acne victims due

to its antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral

and antibacterial properties. It also calms and soothes irritated

skin.

6. Cut down on stress as this acts as one of the strongest

precursors of acne, especially after puberty. There are different

ways you can reduce stress and aim for relaxation:

• Exercise – Moderate exercise such as Yoga and Tai Chi

improve skin blood flow and support the healing process. It also

boosts the condition of your internal organs which allows them to

eliminate waste more effectively.

• Try relaxation techniques including meditation and

breathing exercises.

7. Cut down on your consumption of sugar and refined

carbohydrates. Recent research has shown that eating these foods

triggers a process which leads to a production of too many male

hormones. In turn, the skin is moved to excrete huge amounts of

sebum which fosters the increase in skin bacteria - that triggers

acne.

8. Lessen your consumption of caffeine because it hikes the

level of stress hormones in the body, thus making acne worse.

9. Cut down on dairy and red meat products because these are

difficult to digest and raise acid levels in the body. As you try

to digest huge amounts of animal protein in your internal organs,

your body cannot eliminate waste products well and these will be

released through the skin – causing acne.

In addition, dairy and red meat have huge amounts of hormones.

These raise the hormone levels in the body and trigger even more

acne. Furthermore, symptoms of intolerance to dairy products can

crop up as acne.

10. Get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Sunshine triggers the

production of Vitamin D which is essential to having healthy skin.

Fresh air and sunshine will cut down on your stress levels and

course oxygen through the skin. Learn to tell the amount of

sunshine you need every day though, it does not help to get burnt

in the sun.

Also, try using a egg mask ... Egg whites are rich in protein and can be used as a mask to heal your skin. Egg whites will also help absorb oil from your skin. You simply beat egg white and put it on your face for fifteen minutes and wash it
