Acne????
Question:
Answers:
Some people are more troubled with acne than others and you certainly started at a young age if you have had it for 5 years and are only 13 now. Things you can do other than the percription the doctor gave you are
1. wash your hands continually
2. don't touch your face except when doing your treatments
3. keep your hair away from your face
4.do not use a washcloth to wash your face, just use your hands.facecloths tend to spread it.
5. keep your candy and pop to a minimum and deserts as well
6. let your face airdry rather than contaminate a towel
7. if a lesion should open ..clean it with hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball than can be disposed of. Don't use the same one for your whole face and also pour the liquid onto the cotton, not touching the bottle.
8. clean the phone, door knobs and sink taps often just to again get rid of bacteria.
I hope these little tips help you but I really think this has to be followed by a physician.
Pro-active. That's all I have to say.
Proactiv really works well for me but ive heard it doesnt work for everybody.
If you have a prescription, why don't you just use what they gave you.
For over the counter, try a nice cleansing soap like Neutrogena. Exfoliate once per week with something like St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub. Once per day use an astrigent, like first thing in the morning. Then in the evening, use a cream that contains 10% peroxide. Moisturize with a hypoallergenic oil free moisturizer.
You shouldn't be worried what your bf thinks...
Proactiv worked for a lot of people I know.. It's only $19.00 plus shipping for the whole system. Should last you about 2-3 months.
i use acne free and it really works as long as you use it evry morning and evry night because otherwise it dont work so good! hope this helps please help me too!!!!!!!!!http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
by the way acne free is only a stronger version of pro active and dont worry what your boyfriend thinks!!
What kind of a boyfriend do you have? First of all, dump him for being so rude about your appearance.
I had extremely troublesome acne for years- from the time I was 9 until I was about 25, and none of the medications or treatments I was prescribed ever worked. I finally gave in and tried Proactive, even though I was very skeptical. It actually worked very well; although my acne is not completely gone, it is much better. If you can afford it (or convince your parents to get it for you) I would try it.
I use to use Pro active and it did not work..I used it for 2 years. I just changed my diet. I worked out and sweat it all out. I got a facial once a month. I also went to the Doctor sometimes they can prescribe you some antibiotics or medicine for your skin. REMEBER DONT PICK AT YOUR ACNE..it will leave scars! Good luck baby girl..just remember it's your PERSONALITY that has to shine!
Don't use proactive! It doesn't work and is full of chemicals. Radiance Medical Clinic makes an AWESOME CREAM! My friend reccomended them. They are certified in cosmetic medicine and skincare ande they make their own line of Harmony creams. They are all NATURAL and they REALLY WORK! They have some for acne and all kinds of different kinds. And they even customize it for you - like if you want a medical level moisturizer then you can ask them to use like more lavendar if you like that scent. If you don't live in their area they can ship it to you!
Their number is:
301-512-1239
When I called I just asked about Harmony Creams. I worked with Jasmine Gulati. I guess you could say you got their number off of YouQA.com s or something - maybe they'd give you like a discount if you say somebody reffered you over YouQA.com s?
Good luck! You seriously HAVE to try these people I love my skin so much now. I am like telling this to everyone because they seriously work I love their products so much!
