HI EllieB
Here are some ideas to heal the issue. Learn about nutrition, intake of water, and cleansing your system for long term health.
Quick Action Plan for Acne
1. Massage your skin, where needed, with bergamot, camphor, geranium, juniper, lavender, or neroli essential oils.
2. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend making a paste of 陆 tsp each of turmeric and sandalwood paste with enough water, and applying to pimples. Also, drink half a cup of aloe vera juice twice daily until acne clears.
3. Eat an organic whole foods diet, with plenty of organic cooked and raw vegetables, and whole fruits. Reduce animal fats and stressor foods such as caffeine, refined sugars, and alcohol, as well as colas, candies, and frozen and processed foods. Include more high fiber foods.
4. Drink eight glasses of pure, filtered water daily. Also, daily have two glasses of raw juice, combining carrot, beet, and celery juice, or, carrot, cucumber, and lettuce (not iceberg), and spinach, with carrot predominating.
5. Add 3-5 drops of crab apple flower essence to pure water and drink during the day. Rescue Remedy庐 is good for stress.
6. Combine the tinctures of herbs such as sarsaparilla, burdock, and cleavers in equal parts, taking 陆 tsp three times a day. Drink an infusion of nettle several times a day and apply tea tree oil topically. An infusion of calendula mixed with equal parts of distilled witch hazel can be used as a cleansing wash. Steam sauna your face with red clover, lavender, and strawberry leaves.
7. Useful homeopathy remedies are Pulsatilla, Silicea, Berberis, Ledum, Sulfur, Arsen alb., Belladonna, and/or Carbo veg.
8. Enjoy full body immersion hydrotherapy treatments such as steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation, hot and/or cold compresses, and steam sauna your face with red clover, lavender, and strawberry leaves.
9. Useful supplements are vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. Also include omega-3 fatty acids, brewer's yeast, chlorophyll, and pancreatic enzymes with meals.
10. Expose your face to sun and air at least 30 minutes a day, and exercise daily. Keep your skin clean by washing your face three times a day with soap made from the herb calendula officinalis, or using other alternatives to soap. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Squeezing pimples or whiteheads may cause infection. Keep the skin free of oil and use water-based products. Get sufficient sleep.
11. Make facial masks from natural products; leave on overnight to help dry the skin if acne is caused by excess oil.
12. For long term relief and health be sure to do a colon cleanse. This clears out the toxins in the blood and excess waste in the body. Colon cleansing will healp clear up a lot of issue, expecially acne.
Cause
Acne may be worsened at adolescence, during the pre-menstrual and/or mid-menstrual cycle due to hormonal action, and when under stress, on contraceptives, eating a poor diet that causes an over acidic system, or taking prescription and non-prescription drugs.
Blackheads can form when the oil combines with skin pigments and gets trapped. Blackheads may suggest the need for better hygiene, or magnesium and vitamin A. Chronic, numerous whiteheads can also form during acne outbreaks, suggesting vitamin B1 deficiency or absorption problems. Consistent raised spots on the outside of the arms and sometimes even the thighs, resembling ';chicken skin,'; may suggest need for magnesium, vitamin A, or essential fatty acids or the need to avoid foods that inhibit the absorption of these nutrients, such as trans-fatty acids found in margarine and hydrogenated oils, such as cottonseed oil and palm kernel oil.
Food allergies, allergies to facial creams, soaps, shampoos, makeup, and excess intake of refined sugars, can all cause or contribute to acne. Certain foods can also aggravate acne conditions because of their high-acid forming effects on the body, especially fried foods, trans fats, iodized salt, alcohol, hot and spicy foods, all processed foods, chocolate, fruit juices, carbonated beverages, caffeinated beverages, and dairy products. Excessive long-term intake of seafood or other high iodine foods may also cause acne in some people.
Coexisting gum problems suggest the need for folic acid. A separate acne condition may occur in women 30-40 years old due to physical exercising or working all day with face makeup, lowered resistance due to stress, or hyper-response to bacteria or hormone problems. Another acne problem, acne rosacea (reddish spots in a pattern over nose and cheeks), may be a sign of low B vitamins or low hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Best of health to youI have lots of blackheads, scarring and get 2-3 pimples every week and i'm over 40!! when will it stop?
nothing that i know of inexpensive. do you use moisturizer? lack of moisture in the skin can lead to acne, especially if you use strong astringents. chemical peels will give you good results but they are not inexpensive.
Proactiv. its works wonderfully

Hmm... if you are over 40 you really need to go to a doctor for that. The stuff on the shelves are meant for teenagers. There is some kind of bacteria that is on your skin that makes you break out, acne vulagris (seriously). My cousin has the same thing, the doctor will be able to prescribe you some extra strength meds. If you don't want to go to the doc, try proactiv.
Acne depends upon your system. I have NEVER used anything over the counter that works for me...it may be bacterial for you as well as it is for me. And, I hate to tell you this but nothing OTC that is cheap will assist if it is bacterial. Proactive is wonderful for kids and SOME adults...I have tried tetracycline, retin-a, etc. The only thing that assisted and took everything away was Accutane...you need to see a dermatologist to get it.
Go get microdermabrasions...they work wonders on the skin. They cost money, but ask yourself if its worth it!
zits could break out as long as you're alive. as young as 8 or as old as 80.
cheap:
pan-oxyl
cheaper:
tea tree oil, get a cotton ball, dip it in hot/warm water
put a few drops of tea tree oil. use on your face.
cheapest:
salicylic acid.
buy from your local drugstore. get a q-tip, dip it in and dab on affected areas. it will dry out in 2 or 3 days.
What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.
Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:
www.17AcneTreatments.com
Good luck.
P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She's sharing her story at her site:
http://20six.co.uk/my-acne-solution
Maybe you could learn from her inspirational story
.
my mother has the same problem! she uses a product from a website called www.club-cleo.com , works well! She's also over 40
Don't eat chocolates stay out of the sun and eat lots of bananas keep your face clean dont touch your face ever.
I have to agree that Pro-Activ solution is the way to go... it is unbelievable - what you see in the ads is true!!
Other things to do is drink plenty of water, and keep your diet healthy.
For the black heads the pore strips that ponds and biore make are fantastic. Nutrimetics also make a cream that does a similar thing - dries and draws the black heads out when you pull it off.
if you have adult acne the best thing to do is to go to dermatologist (especially if you have insurance). They can prescribe a medication that is right for you (especially if you tied some over-the counter products) you might have to complete an antibiotic course (like minocyclin) or will be prescribed some washesor creams (like Retin-A, Sulfur wash and similar products) Good luck!
haha i had the same problem ok, tmw pick up VITAMIN E from a CVS or local pharmacy, then biotin pills. After that treatment by a skin milk product called FACE MILK to cleasnse it then, a lightening product to get ride of the mark. ITS WORKS LIKE A CHARM, it changed my life and i feel like a fresh person
For some of us it never stops. If your doctor will prescribe it Retin A works very well on pimples and blackheads. Plus, it brightens the complexion. It's usually only $20 per tube.
I'm the same way!!! My complexion was beautiful when I was younger but now, all of a sudden, I seem to be breaking out more and instead of little zits I get huge pimples! I think it's mostly hormonal but I've been using Clean %26amp; Clear oil free foaming facial cleanser that seems to be helping a little bit.
try making a mask with powdered oats and baking soda with water.........
Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads,fresh juices,fish and yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/ Check out http://useinfo-blackhead.blogspot.com/ for more useful tips to control blackheads.

If i stop drinking pop, will i not have as many pimples??
i dont have major acne or anything i just have a few ocasional pimples and i drink pop alot. one every other day maybe.If i stop drinking pop, will i not have as many pimples??
you are what you put into you body... if you take pop out of you diet and put water it well help clear your skin because your whole body system will be cleaner. cutting out greasy foods will also help. eat natural drinks with no artificial flavor or cafienne which is already bad for you anyway and you will see %26gt; differenceIf i stop drinking pop, will i not have as many pimples??
what you eat/drink has nothing to do with pimples. trust me. although if you quit drinking soda you'll lose a pound or two. :P
No.. I gave up sugar completely and I had no noticeable difference.
one soda every other day is not alot thats about how much i drink
my bro drinks like 12 cans of soda a day now thats alot and it makes me so sick
and i dont think that it will make a difference in ur skin anyway just drink more water tho ( =
um...pop has nothing to do with pimples...trust me
if you REPLACE all the carbonated drinks with water water water you MAY see a slight difference. sugar intake is not directly linked to acne. some people eat and drink nothing but garbage and their skin is flawless. it makes me sick!
i say we take all those people and lock them up! what say you? ha ha (j/k)

How can i stop breaking out in pimples?
I always break out on my forehead, nose, chin and along my jaw line at the bottom of my cheeks. I hate how they look! I want really clear, helathy, bright looking skin. Im fair, with rosy cheeks. At the moment i just wash my face with warm water and use a moisturiser in the morning, and at night i wet a cotton ball with warm water then add some tea tree oil, wipe it across my face then use moisturiser. I dont want to use any of the harsh unnatural cleansers, thats why i do this. What am i doing wrong? How can i stop breaking out? Im a teenager btw.
Any other beauty tips you might have for clear, bright, soft skin?
Also, how can i make my eyes look big, bright and healhty without using makeup. If that is not possible, then with using makeup? thanks 10 points for best answerHow can i stop breaking out in pimples?
I had the same problem! I've tried pro activ, differin and pills to make my face better, but nothing worked. I didn't have severe acne, but when I broke out it looked horrible. I began rubbing alcohol on my face. I just take a little cotton ball and pour some rubbing alcohol on it and wipe my face. You can actually see alot of dirt come off. Even if I scrubbed and scrubbed in the shower, my face wasn't entirely clean. It looked like my face was extremely clean but I would wipe some alcohol on it anyway and I could see the brown dirt on the cotton ball. After a few days, my face started clearing up. I know people say that alcohol dries up your face, but I haven't had any problems with that. Just use a good moisturizer if you get a little bit dry! =)
And to make you're eyes brighter, try putting some ice cubes on them. It takes away puffiness and makes them look really nice. There are also some really nice eye creams sold at Sephora. They are a little pricey, but my friend uses one and it works wonders! She always looks bright and fresh. The sales people are a big help too.
Hope this helps!How can i stop breaking out in pimples?
OMG rubbing a cut tomato on my face work SOOO good... look that up
Dont touch your face with your hands a lot %26gt;_%26lt;
put lemon juice..or toothpaste
i usually just clean my face with the cream pond's
you should use a facewash when you wash your face, if you dont like using chemical and unnatural products, try Tea Tree foaming facewash for acne by Thursday Plantation, or anything along those lines. Keep going with the cotton wool and tea tree, ive heard good things about it.
you need to try really hard not to pick at or touch your face at all! you can also get clearasil spot treatment or something else, i think Thursday Plantation makes one so that would be good.
and dont worry about what you are doing wrong, as its totally normal.
hmm get lots of sleep to make your eyes look brighter? other than that, when i put my makeup on i dab some pale concealer under my eyes and up into the inner corner, it makes them pop more and brightens the dark areas i have under my eyes.
also curl your eyelashes using an eyelash curler, that will open them up.
Pimples are commonly caused by clogged or infected pores.Covering pimples or moistening it may be useful sometimes, but also could cause new pimples if face is not clean. You must keep you face clean all times which is only way to prevent pimple back again. You can try Chlorella Gel Cleanser. It was invented by the request of piano students who have same pimple problem like you. Chlorella Gel Cleanser is made of edible algae and fod materials. It contains vitamins, Carotene, chlorophyll, amine acids, proteins, SOD enzyme, alga polysaccharides . Chlorella Gel Cleanser can clean corneous cells, sebum, sweat, dust, and removes pimples in 3-5 days . Most students can get ride of pimples in less three days.

Stop a pimple in its tracks?
It's the sore kind that are under the skin, kind of like a cyst i guess. How can i stop it from growing and coming to the surface...i know i could pop it safely but that still always leaves a scar (due to the nature of the pimple) that takes a while to heal.
I have benzoyl peroxide gel and tretinoin gel 0.025%, as well as salicylic acid gel. Which do you recommend would stop a pimple from growing further?Stop a pimple in its tracks?
I used to get cystic acne all the time, before I started birth control, and the best thing for it was tea tree oil, either straight up or in an acne product. It's very powerful and if you use it straight from the bottle you should be careful not to use too much.everyday minerals

How To Stop A Pimple Phobia??
Hi,
My dad enjoy's destroying his and my families acne to no extent, and I want it to end NOW! and I want to help him stop if it's at all possible.
If you tell my dad you have a pimple he'd go gung-ho and pull out pin's, tweezers, a mirror and a soap bar. How do I make him stop? I've counted his neck, he has 15 pimples that he's completely devastated and don't even get me started about his head!! lets put this way, he'll be bald before he's 60 if he keeps it up.
He's sick in the sense that he won't stop, why just the day before yesterday he made his head bleed through chipping it and two days after you know what? he's still chipping at it!! it'll get infected no?!
Me and my mom have told him and tried to make him stop but it keeps happening every time I look at him he's chipping at his face and head and it has to stop!!
I call it a pimple phobia but I realy know he's addicted to popping them and what I want to know is this:
How Can I Help Him Stop ASAP?How To Stop A Pimple Phobia??
Of course it can be fun to pop them, however in the process of popping them, one can actually spread the bacteria that caused the breakout in the first place. You may want to consider Psychological, or Psychiatric counseling, if he is continuing to be self destructive.How To Stop A Pimple Phobia??
There is no way to make him stop. He needs professional help. The best you can do is remind him that every single time he opens up a pimple he is spreading the staph bacteria all over the place and possibly causing more pimples and exposing you to more bacteria.
Gross!
He is obsessive compulsive. Your Mom needs to make an appointment with a dermatologist for him.
try out the tooth paste techniqe ,i too have pimples ,iguess it works on ur dad cause acnes r terrible n it depends on persons skin tone.good luck!.apply the tooth paste on the acne spot i the night n remove it with water in the morning.
