Im 14 and suffer from acne any advice welcome.?

Question

Ok i'm not sure how i would rate my acne on a scale of serverness, i have alot of blemishes that will not budge and havent budged for a very very long time. They're on my cheeks - under my cheek bones, i also get them around my brows and sides of my chin. I desperatly want to sort it out b4 school because i would love clear skin (would'nt anyone). Ok heres the problem; i have just spent an obscene amount of money on a dermalogica acne prone c**p kit that did nothing to help my skin what so ever, so mum won't let me make another purchase unless it is very cheap. I know this sounds harsh but when i spent £30 on a kit and 2 weeks later i want to buy something else - well i can see why.

I was wondering if there was any things i could try at home - like home remedies that worked for u . Please if u leave a suggestion will you tell me how bad ur acne is / was. Thankyou.

Answer 1

.. i have tired everything...trust me nothing really works as well as you want it to. Just go to the doctor and get the antibiotics for it.

Answer 2

Wash your face with hot water, keep washing for 10 minutes and it your spots will go.. do this daily

Answer 3

Keep your face clean and keep your hands away from it.  Take a good multi-vitamin.  Drink lots of water.  Again, keep your hands away from your face.  Clean your face during the day with unscented baby wipes.  Vitamins, water, rest, good diet and hands away.  In a month you will be a new person with a new face.

Answer 7

At 14 years all prescription drugs will free to you, why on earth did you waste your money on such rubbish?

Go see your GP who is likely to prescribe oral antibiotics with a cleanser or possibly topical antibiotics. The success rate of both of these types of preparations is excellent!

Answer 8

The best tip I ever got was to use lemons. Dab it on with a cotton tip. Open the pores first with steam (hot bath will work). Use a clay or honey mask once a week.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I recommend using a tea tree soap bar twice a day. Then after apply Tea Tree Oil. It is natural and the oil is an antiseptic so it kills germs on your skin. It doesn’t dry out my face or clog pores. I have been using it for a few months and my skin is 100% different. Make sure you use it everyday. You will see results in a week. You can buy it at health stores and one brand I use is “Thursday Plantation”. It is about 15$. I highly recommend this practice. Good luck

Answer 11

If it is really bad I would go see a dermatologist.  When I was young I was put on accutane as a last ditch effort to get rid of my acne.  It worked miracles.  It is a potentially dangerous drug so they take blood tests every month you are on it and make girls go on birth control because the medacine can cause birth defects.  The great thing is you are only on it for a few months and after that the acne never comes back.  I still got a random pimple here and there, but nothing like before.  It was really an amazing thing.

Answer 12

A healthy diet and exercise, and enough sleep.  When showering, wash your face with plain soap and hot water.  It helps to keep the skin clean and clear.  A product that I found was very effective was by Lancome of Paris: "Pure Empreinte Masque"  (Purifying Mineral Mask with White Clay).  Apply to your face before you go to sleep.  Wash it off in the morning.  It is a deep cleanser and works way better than Clearasil etc.  It's not cheap, but a 100ml tube lasts a long time.

Answer 13

Do you drink plenty of water and exercise? Sounds silly, but that can help keep your skin clear. Also, your diet can help

Answer 14

1 is right!!!

go to a demtologist
