I really need help plz???

Question

i have bad acne n blackheads all over my nose i have proactive n it does not work at all!!!! i really don't have a lot of money to spend on products so i would really appreciate home remides and could u plz tell me if its for acne or blackheads i really appreciate!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I would see your doctor, or have someone take you to a dermatologist... They can give you something to help, that isn't available over the counter. And you might make sure to clean your skin well every morning and at night with a healthy cleanser like clear skin, or even Ivory or unscented soaps...

Answer 2

first wash face with dove soap everyday, don't wear oil based makeup. In fact i would wear any base foundation at all until it clears. Use alchol wipes and then a soft moisturizer.  

Answer 3

what i have found to work for blackheads and pimples that wont cost you a fortune is toothpaste it really works trust me try it.not the red kind get like crest or aquafresh mint.

Answer 4

Greasy foods clog pores.  If you eat lots of junk food that doesn't help your skin out either.  There's a product on sephora called on a clear day.  It works well.  Proactiv sucks and only works on certain types of acne.  If you don't have money to spend by going to a dermatologist try the on a clear day product.  

Answer 5

dark glasses or the other thing is a grinder  

Answer 6

get a product with benzoyl peroxide in it.

most products have salicylic acid in it and i've noticed they don't really work for me.

what i am using now is Oxy maximum face wash. its in a black bottle with a red label. its like 10% Benzoyl Peroxide.

it works really well actually its the best one ive ever used, i dont have acne i never have but i would get zits from time to time and i get about 2 a year now.

Answer 7

k this will work in a few days Get some dry oatmeal put it in a cup put 1/6 cup of water in the cup pour in 1/2 a cup of current acne killer (pro active) and then a teaspoon of honey mix them together and rub them on places with acne.Good Luck

Answer 8

okay first of all, proactive only works for certain people, like my sister is allergic to it and it never worked for her. for the nose i use biore strips, that lifts up all the blackhead and bacteria off of your nose, (enough, but not completely). i also use the wave and that is a really good product that only cost like 10 dollars. trust me i had bad acne to but you just have to use the simple things, not the expensive stuff. the cheaper thing work better.

this is for the biore strips:http://www.biore.com/usa/products/produc...

this is for the wave: http://www.neutrogenawave.com/

Answer 9

use proxcide and dab on fce it works geat

Answer 10

here are some home remedies i found, the rest are on the site

i heard that proactive only hides the pimples, and that they are still under your skin,a nd that its bad for you ahah but i dont really know!

goodluck, cheers!

Acne & blackheads Home Remedies

1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.

2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.

3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.

4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.

5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.

Home face wash for acne: Mix together 1 or 2mls each of the following: witch hazel, tea-tree and sweet fennel essential oils, adding essential oil of geranium for women and essential oil of rosewood for men.

The oils will clean and unclog giving antibiotic-like protection to the skin.

Tea tree essential oil (mix 1:10 with water)

Liquefy cabbage leaves with witch hazel, strain and add two drops of lemon oil. Use as a lotion.

20. Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.

24. Blend cucumber and make a paste. Apply this as a mask on your face and leave it for 1/2 hour and then rinse. This refreshes your skin and prevents acne.

Answer 18

it may not be acne. it could be caused by lack of water. you may not believe it but its true. your body could be on constant failure due to lack of water. i had really bad acne. and i used toothpast for my bumps. as long as you have some lotion for your skin you'll be ok.

Answer 19

you wash your face with cetaphil cleanser to wash all make-up or dirt off. Then use the cetaphil moisturizer. It may get worse some days but its suppose to because its just opening up your pores.

Answer 20

soap and water and pop them keep your face as clean as possible

Answer 21

I don't know any home remedies but Clearasil is defiantly worth the $20 HONESTLY I could tell the difference in a day actually over night. It comes in a four piece package. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT.

Answer 22

Don't use those pore strips, they hurt like h*ll when you pull them off.  Steam your face by filling a bowl with hot water, place your face over it, and then a towel over your head so the steam doesn't escape.  The steam opens your pores and allows the dirt to come out, then afterwards, rinse your face with cold water.  This will make your pores close so other bacteria won't get into your pores.  Do this about three times a week, and they should clear up! Make sure to drink plenty of water!

Answer 23

After washing your face, apply some tea tree oil with a cotton ball to the problem areas.  This should clear up the clogged pores and acne and also reduce the redness.  Hope this helps.

Answer 24

go to walmart and buy the hand sanitizer called germ x it works better than anything. my son has tryed everything from proactive, acne free, nuetrogena ,etc. he had a pizza face now it is all cleared up and it did not dry out his skin. it helps with blackheads and zits.  

Answer 25

If you have health insurance...you should see a dermatologist.

Problem is, you will keep getting unprofessional advice and product. Plus, you will spend what it would cost to go see a doctor. That is my home remedy...

Answer 26

are you eating any greasy food? i always break out really bad if i eat cheetos. i also drink lots of water.

Answer 27

whats your diet like? What you eat determines alot of how your body reacts. Drink tons of water. they say about 1 quart [per} 50 lbs of body weight. Look at your diet. if its not healthy, and you don't drink alot of water chances are you need to change some things.

Answer 28

use toothpaste it really works no lie

Answer 29

I think it would be much better to see a dermatologist so that they can recommend which medication is best. Personally, keeping a healthy diet will do the drink - no junk food, no caffeine, and just drink lots of water. And try not to get stressed; sleep 8 hours. Your skin should get better then. ü
