Hi Sadie:

It's a good thing you are starting to take notice of your skin and wanting to use preventative measures.

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

I have some recommendations for you and I hope they help.

You should absolutely begin a skin care regimen, I have one for you that would take about 2 minutes.

You should educate yourself alittle about breakouts and acne. There's a great site for you to read about acne.

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! 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.

Good Luck to you,

Answer 4

Spectroderm is good, I like it because it helps with moisture on the skin, it's only $9 for a HUGE bottle, and dermatologists recommend it. It's cheap because everybody settles for Neutrogena, or Proactiv, and people miss Spectroderm, but try looking for it.

Answer 6

i woudnt use skin care products if you dont need it so much right now. Because once you start to use them and stop you get more spots than you started off with. wash the face with warm water and soap twice a day and eat healthily. foods like apples, avocado, celery etc. fruit nd veg basically :)

Answer 7

well if your skin is still clear after 14 years with out using a cleanser you wouldn't need something intense. If you want something that is easy to use a toner would be easy. you put it on with a cotton ball, it is a liquid and you don't have to take it off. try Olay. If you don't want to use a tonor, but you want to use a cleanser try Olay products because they have a lot of different kinds for different skin types. Like if you have oily skin to dry skin to bad acne, they will probably have something that will work for you.

good luck.
