try using rough surfaces not sharp object, but maaaybe, something like sand. add a little to your daily face cleanser, be sure to avoid contact with the eyes. make sure to wash it all off. and dab dry. DO NOT RUB DRY.

this is what ive heard. is it true?

  1. I would just go the safer route and buy a face scrub already made to exfoliate with proper ingredients to fight blemishes. St. Ives has a great skin care line, with great prices. Just a daily scrub and astringent should be all you need.

  2. i use dove soap to wash my face, one once or twice daily. and then i use bio oil on my face (at night as it makes it shiny) and i wake up every morning with pefect skin. no spots, no blemishes, no blackheads. Its so simple, and cheap. Bio oil slightly expensive, but not compared to other products and if your just using it on your face it'll last a long time.  

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

    DO NOT SCRUB HARSHLY!!!!! All you're doing is causing damage to your skin and spreading the bacteria from underneath the surface of your skin from one blemish to the other. Below I will mention a blog VISIT it and read it. It will help you greatly.

    As a nurse I really care about people and I hate to read or see the mistakes that young people cause themselves

    I am taking the time out to write to you so that you dont cause yourself any further harm!

    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

    As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.
