i have acne on my face, but ONLY on my forehead...
is there something i'm doing/not doing that results in me having acne?
i shower everyday.What is a good way for getting rid of facial acne without using store products?
hey,
well what works great is toothpaste it dries out the zits completley but what also works is alchol 91 % that gets rid of them and keeps them from coming back. But this also helps to by making your own facial scrup/ exfoliator. add sugar or sand to lotion or liquid soap or even body wash. and stir it together in a bowl then rub it on to your face for about 5 mins. then wash off then apply the alchol. This works great! What also might be causeing you to break out is if you have Bangs or where hats alot. If you need anymore help please feel free to e-mail me i'd be more then happy to help out :-)What is a good way for getting rid of facial acne without using store products?
I'm sorry if this is bad answer because you might need to use store products.
I have pretty much the same problem as you, but i can see my skin improving. When i noticed my skin was getting worse, i went to a doctor who prescribed me to get some things from the chemist. Cetaphil, Clydatech (clyndamicine) safe moisturiser (non codemagenic, non hyper allergenic) and differin. Wash your face 2 times a day, followed by clyndatech then moisturiser and only use differin at night.
Hope this all helps
My brother suffered from Acne when he was younger and he used a facial scrub in the morning and in the evening. It never really seemed to clear it up and my mum used to make an avocado face pack. She just mushed it up and pasted it on. He left it on for about 15 minutes and he did it twice a week. Seemed to calm the acne down a lot. But, you could also go to see your GP they can subscribe really good stuff that could help. Plus its always best to get a medical opinion before you try anything to experimental yourself i think.
Use this soap thats made out of sulfur.I dont know what the hell sulfur is but it works.I use it on my face because i had alot of acne and the acne slowly went away.I bought the soap at a beauty supple store.
Its called sulfur soap and the one i use had lanolin in it.Again idk what that is
Hope I helped!
Try boiling a whole onion for a couple of minute and as it got soften , let it cooling and put it a piece of it right on the acne. I read it in a health book. I tryed it it helped. And I took aspirin. 1 per day. itt will go a way! Good luck
mix baking powder, lemon juice, and salt. apply to ur forehead and let it sit for 2 min. wash off with warm water and then cool water to close ur pores do this once a day and u will see results in a couple days!!!!

Is Suki facial skin care products ok for sensitive skin?
I recently learned about the Suki brand of facial skin care products. I often get red skin when I use products so I'm wondering if anyone with sensitive skin has had success with this brand? Here is where I learned about the brand: http://www.lilou-organics.com/scripts/brands_suki.asp
Would appreciate good and bad feedback as I'm looking for a moisturizer for the winter months.Is Suki facial skin care products ok for sensitive skin?
before using have skin patch testIs Suki facial skin care products ok for sensitive skin?
it may take you a week or two to get use this new product. if redness occurs two weeks after use of this product get one that is made for sensitive skin.

What do you think about St.Ives facial and body products?
Do you use ANY of the St.Ives products?
Which one(s)?
What do you think about them? Do they work?
Pros? Cons? Opinions?
What do you think about St.Ives facial and body products?
I've never used St. Ives facial products. I have on the other hand used St. Ives body lotion and it makes your body feel really soft and refreshing.What do you think about St.Ives facial and body products?
Hey, I use their apricot scrub. I've tried both the regular one and the one for sensitive skin. I like the regular one a lot better, I love it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth. I also use their body lotions, they're good too. But my favorite products of theirs is their scrub.
Using their line of facial products is just as affective as the department store brands. The make-up remover is real good. The medicated apricot facial scrub works great. I just wish they made a toner. I am going to try the new body polish.
The apricot scrub works good on me. The con is that it is gritty. So it takes a little work to get out of your eyebrows and hairline. I've tried other products, but they don't do well with my skin.
I use St. Ive's Apricot Scrub for Acne Prone Skin every morning and I love it! it is inexpensive, smells good, and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh!
i use the apricote facial srub and i have few or no ';blemishes'; on my skin. I LOVE IT!!!
i lovee their lotion. i know alot of people swear by their apricot face scrub, but i've never tried it since i love Olay.
I LOVEEE their lotion and foot cream. Their foot cream leave your feet feeling nice and soft :)
sucks dont try they just made my skin the same
i justed gentle cleansing and the apricot scrub onemyspace commentes

Tea tree oil facial products?
are they any good for somebody with combination oily/dry skin?Tea tree oil facial products?
I have used tea tree oil for years and it has been great for my skin. It tends to mixed with alcohol though so be aware of that when you buy it and also when applying it to the dry spots in your skin.Tea tree oil facial products?
The Tea Tree Oil products from The Body Shop are specifically for oily/blemished skin. I don't think dry skin would benefit from it.

Any good facial products?
I am getting married in 3 weeks and i am worried about the pictures. I have been using proactiv but it hasnt given me results like you see on tv. I dont break out alot just really bad the week before my cycle and a blemish here and there other days. Any suggestions.Any good facial products?
i wasn't sure if you were asking for a face wash or make up.. so i'll do both lol..
take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. aspirin has the same active ingredient as pro active..
another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..
only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..
warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..
also you may want to get a good toner and moisturizer.. not astringent because it contains a ton of alcohol and is rough on your skin..
and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is so much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or make you break out.. i like to use bare minerals make up and have for almost three years.. i love it.. a little goes a long way with it and you can get a starter kit for about sixty dollars.. if you would like to check them out their site is:

Hi, I'm a licensed Esthetician and have several suggestions for you that should work. First use a good cleanser AND a lotion that fights bacteria. I strongly suggest Clear Advantage by Arbonne-you can order it on-line at NaturallySimple.myarbonne.com It really works, trust me!
Most importantly DO NOT put anything on your skin that will strip away the natural oils, all your doing when you do this if forcing your body to produce more of what you don't want, OIL!
Don't pick at, rub or squeeze white heads, it can cause the infection to spread (yes, acne is an infection), you can permanently damage the skin and you could scar (as I'm sure you already know).
Always use LUKEWARM water, never hot.
Good Luck and Congrats! I am sure you will look beautiful on your special day,
St Ives Apricot scrub!! I love it, there are a few to choose from including blackhead and blemish control (my fave) Ive had acne all my life and I'm not kidding when i say Ive tried everything!! Ive been using st Ive's now for 2 years and my skin looks awesome so far i haven't even thought of buy anything else. great price too good luck i hope it works for you too
Heres some fun homemade masks for you
Homemade face mask for blemished skin: Take a chopped tomato, 1 tbsp of instant oatmeal, 1 tbsp lemon juice. Blend all ingredients just until combined. Apply to skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay on blemished areas. Add a bit more oatmeal to thicken the mask. Leave on 10 mins. Wash with warm water.
Apple Zinger Facial Mask
(oily skin that is acne prone)
1 medium size apple (grated)
5 tablespoons of honey
Mix the grated apple and mix with honey to make a mask. Smooth over skin then let sit for 10 minutes, rinse off with cool water.
Face Masks for Dry Skin
Egg Yolk %26amp; Honey Mask: Take 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon almond oil and 1 tablespoon yogurt. Mix together and apply on face. Honey smoothes the skin, egg and almond oil moisturize, and yogurt refines and tightens pores. Leave for 20 mins to half an hour.
Banana Face Mask: Mash 1/4 ripe banana and mix with half a cup natural yogurt and 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply this pack on face and neck and leave for 20 minutes and then rinse off.
Olive oil and Egg Mask: Mix 1 egg yolk with 1 tbsp. olive oil %26amp; 1 tbsp. plain yogurt. Apply on face and leave for 20 minutes.
Face Masks for Oily Skin
Egg Yolk, Avocado %26amp; Mud Facial Mask: Buy fuller鈥檚 earth mud / clay from any health store. Mix 1 tablespoon dry clay, 1 egg yolk, 1/4 of a mashed avocado and enough witch hazel to create a smooth mixture. Mud dries excess sebum while Witch hazel tones the skin.
Lemon Face Mask: Mix 1 tbsp. lemon juice with 1/4 cup ground oatmeal and 1 tbsp. yogurt. Apply on face and leave for 20 minutes, then wash off with warm water.
I really like using lemon juice works great for acne acne scars and dark spots also for oily skin apply once daily with a cotton ball vitamin c is a natural skin brightener so youll also have glowing skin

i had the same problem but i went to the doctor and he decided to prescribe me an or pill called menocyclin and its been 3 days and most of my pimples or acne bumps have gone away
i just recommend seein a doctor about it
Try to do detox, eat vege before your circle for one week, then use clarins product, it is very gentle. Good for mature skin.
Hylunia is the best! It cleared up my acne, my skin never looked better, my husbands as well, plus no chemicals or preservatives (they irritate your skin even more!) Proactive broke me out, plus did you know Proactive has the same ingredients as Neutregena??? Its just marketing!
use mary kay
I like Perricone
I tried Arbonne, but again full of chemicals. They dont like to tell you that as they say BOTANICAL. Read the fine print and you will find parabens. Hydration is the key, I use a water based product that has been tested at 100% hydration and my face shows it. Greak on wrinkles too. I use the eye cream on my upper lip area and works. NO PARABENS OR PRESERVATIVES. It is the only skin care that the Japan Government has certified as 100% natural. Most products are giving us breast cancer with the preservatives and parabens. Check out your leading brands. They use harmful chemicals to make us look good. We are all going ot be pretty in a casket. Methyl Parabens, and every other kind of paraben. Go to the breast cancer site and research parabens and you will toss you products. I buy it from a gal named Allison. She gave me the site called www.revolutionaryskincare.info. her email is allidari@yahoo.ca.
