Re: Acne - arghhhh

Mix a tablespoon of chick pea powder (besan) with 2 heaped tablespoons of milk. Make a light fluffy paste and apply on your face at night, after 10 mins wash it off then sleep. I won't advise you to avoid oily foods, who am I kidding we are desis that's our bread and butter!

steaming is not neccessary. When you come out of hot shower, your pores are already opened, just exfoliate/micro as soon as you are out of shower and then put on the mask for 10-15 mins. Then wash up, use toner and then moisturize.

Re: Acne - arghhhh

hi accutane is a really great option. i took it and it realy got rid of a lot of problems. also, have you tried birth control to help maybe it is hormonal. also a tretininoin like a retinoid or retinol will help skin regeneration.

Re: Acne - arghhhh

you can also take 4-5 uncoated aspirin (make sure uncoated) and dissolve and just a tiny splash of water add some honey and leave on face for about 20-25 minutes scrub off! this is excellent do this about twice a week

Re: Acne - arghhhh

32

Re: Acne - arghhhh

i have read about the mixture of honey and cinnamon powder..that u have to apply it and it heals ur acne...ofcourse not in a single go but be patient and do it..

also a mixture of some creams...it was the trend few yrs back..this makes skin wonderfully glowing and all that shine comes to ur skin straightaway..just u have to use the cream at night...

this helps with acne..my cousin used this..and she turned from dark to white ...

1-archy cream
2-stillmans freckle cream
3-fair & lovely
4-one other lotion...hmm sorry i dont remember its name..thats soem local paki company

mix all these and apply...good for acne...

and oonaab k daanay soak them in water at night and in the morning eat the daanay and drink the water...this makes skin really nice...

neem ka pani pio...but if u r very sensitive then dont drink..

noorangi ubtan..available very easily in pak ..my friend had acne..and she used it ..that helped clear her skin..

try to avoid oral medication whether u r married or unmarried...every medicine has side effects and drs dont tell u the whole story....try searching on internet and read the reviews ...when u feel comfortable then go for it...

also one lotion i heard of...its clindamycin ..this helps in acne..

ro-accutane is the last stage..after that NOTHING..so better to avoid this as somebody told about the side effects it carries...

rest keep ur skin neat and clean..use astringents and scrubs..moisturize ur skin regularly..market is full of such stuff..see what suits u..and use it accordingly..

if you were in a cannibal mood, which guppie would you cook and eat, and why?

Re: Acne - arghhhh

Re: Acne - arghhhh

I did accutane for a couple of months and my acne went away but came back after i stopped taking it. Dont want to go there again. Retin A has trenotoin (sp?) and you shouldnt take it if planning a family. I have also done that before i got married and i totally hated the red, flaky skin.

kali billi, Alhamdulillah its not that bad i think. I have seen ppl with worse skins. But i get blemishes all the time, they get better and then come back. I would like to see clear skin for once but i always have 2-3 pimpoos ruining my face :mad: jan Marini stuff keeps it to minimum and also decreases the oiliness and helps the breakout to heal faster.

Re: Acne - arghhhh

try this it work like a maricle...... multani meetteee, neem powder, and mix with rose water, put it on like mask and multani meti absorbe oil and neem kills all the bacteria on skin and i used it constantly belive it or not all my acne went away, its amazing. no chemical, natural herb use it every day till u see a difference. while my face cleared up i notice it has also brighten up. when ur wash ur face for one min srcub it all over ur face, it exfoliate ur skin. girl garanteeeeeee ur acne will disapear....

Re: Acne - arghhhh

If you plan on getting married stay clear of any medicines. I beg to differ kalli billi but nuitrition plays a major role in treating such conditions. Oily, fatty and sugary substances aggravate acne. If you have acne that's under the skin, steaming won't help if you breakout due to dirt n oil that clogs u're pores steaming will help. Scrubbing isn't reccomended if u suffer from acute acne. Yes you must keep fingers away from u're face as well as u're hair and change u're pillowcase often. Clean u're face with a cleanser made for acne-prone skin.

Re: Acne - arghhhh

I just found out something that might help some of ya:

My sister had horrible acne when she was 15-16. Her physician prescribed her this amazing cream and she started taking care of her diet such as eating apples, taking iron, etc and mashallah her face is now stunning!!! Not only her acne went away but her face glows now like a baby's skin. A few months ago, she started breaking out again really bad. The other day, she was eating peanut M&Ms and offered them to her friend who refused saying they make her break out. My sister immediately stopped eating them also and her skin cleared again in just a couple of days. Turned out, she was having reactions to peanuts since she would eat M&Ms everyday. So make sure you're eating the right stuff and pay very close attention to allergy prone food items such as peanuts, different nuts, etc.

Re: Acne - arghhhh

^^I agree, my mom used to make me eat an apple every day and it made hell of a difference...
