Blemishes

How to get rid of them…someone help please…any face wash? saabun? creme/gel? etc etc yada yada…something that really works my face is filled with blemishes these days :frowning:

Re: Blemishes

there is tons you can do:
1. get a facewash with 2% salicylic acid in it. it will help exfoliate your skin by loosening the upper layers of dead skin cells and clear it of pore clogging oils and dirt.

  1. try not to touch your face through out the day,,,to avoid getting more pimples

  2. start wearing a strong SPF sunscreen. UV rays darken blemishes, so you want to avoid it as much as possible

  3. contact a dermatologist, he might prescribe a topical ointment like Retin-A, Tazorac or Differen gel....all of which i've tried and all of which are WONDERFUL to get rid of acne blemishes...

  4. avoid overwashing and overdrying your skin. washing your face 2 times a day is enough, once in the morning and once before bedtime.

PM me is u have any more ques! :)

I thought salicylic acid dissolved skin cells, which is why I've avoided products which contain it. But now I see may be it may be a good thing?

Thank you..you already have a PM waiting for you :p

^ Go thru Skin Queries teelo.. u'll find all u're answers.

salicylic acid renews the skin, therefore is great for removing blemishes

its a WONDERFUL thing!! when used on a daily basis it helps slough off dead skin cells and reveals fresher looking skin. it also aids in preventing pimples from forming.
