I’m so way past the age of non-stop breakouts. But every now and then I’ll break out with one dana here or there on my face. I dont know what the hell happened this summer. But when I got back to school, my cheeks broke out with acne.
What do you girls use to get rid of it? I tried the old avon creams, but they’re not doing the job this time. My roommie has acne problems, and I’m wondering if its some contagious dermal problem.
Well there goes my excellent complexion.
drink plently of water and try not to get stressed out too much..alternativly u could try mixing oats and milk, make it into a paste and apply daily...jus remember to wash it off afterwards!!!
MM -- I agree. Lots of water is key. Also, has anything changed -- water, conditioner use, face lotion use? I often break out before my period. Oh -- and avoid touching your face too much. Oils from foods (particularly chocolate) touching skin can cause breakouts.
As for products -- try the medicated pads (stridex or oxy I think). Or topical ointments. I think in general you just have to wait it out.
Yeah water is great. Also milk, lassi. Not to sound totally disgusting but people break out because their digestive system needs cleaning, meaning they don't crap enough :p My sister once broke out and she was made to take laxative, which worked like a charm.
thanks for the crude description, fallen.
water? Really? hmm.

Yeah...Leave it to a guy to be gross and disgusting :p hehehehehhe
PGC- I am having the same problem right now. I went to Pakistan for five weeks and I used another face scrub in Pakistan and when I came back I started using a botanical face wash that i was using for a year. And now I am breaking out. I feel like I am 16 again.
lots of water, and proper burning of the food u eat.. less coffee, if u must take something, take tea.. less caffeinne like colas.. try sprites/7ups and stuff :-)
i dunno if i've mentioned this before or not, but i use 10% ben. perioxide and i use tea tree oil before i apply that. that really helps for overnight relief and then u just keep on applying. its a little strong i know, but its helped me. plus, it doesn't leave any marks. also..yeah water as disgusting and tasteless as it is, its definitly good. milk makes me breakout, as does coffee, so i don't drink those to often. if anyone is going to pakistan or india in ur family, tell them to bring u a bottle of Safi. My personal advertisement is: Undher se saaf! Or..Bahar se Khoobsurat! ::Fake Model like smile:: it tastes like crap, but ull get used to it. it real cleans out ur system. also excercise + steaming ur face once in awhile. Yeah..thats pretty much what I do..its hard to keep up with it, but in the end, i have clear skin, so i guess it all pays off.
derm?
Razea does safi really work? it tastes ten times worse than crap
tea tree oil? See, now this is the stuff that Life forum is made of. What is that and where can I get it?
See, what I've been doing is using an Oil of Olay cleanser (prob bad choice, cuz its so oily) - and then using Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment by Neutrogena.
And that doesn't work at all.
Just in case anyone ever tried that combination (even though everyone's skin is different).
Lots of water.Dont wear makeup when you break out.Dont over do it with the cleansers either.Your skin will clear up much faster if you eat properly, drink a lot, and get a good nights sleep.
(Thanking my mom for the good skin genes.)
PCG, most girls get breakouts during their period, just try to notice if you are getting those spots during that time. If thats the case, they will go away.
Also, it could be due to hormonal or thyroidal changes. You can ask your doctor to have a thyroid test to see if thats not the problem.
Since you are only getting them on the cheek, it could just be the pillow. Try to change the cover every 2/3 days.
If you wear makeup, it could just be a lotion or cream that you have been using recently.
As most pple wrote above, drink plenty of water
try saafi (it cleanses your blood)
avoid taking too much caffeine/sugary foods and eat more fruits
