Graduation in a month, last week of exams coming up and then im stress free! So all this stress has showed up on my face :bummer: pimples and patches..
I need help on clearing up the skin, what kind of routine should i start? I already do the basic, cleansing, moisturising and toner+ scrub once a week. But what else? thinking of starting to increase the water intake and eat yoghurt, what can i apply to face? Have combination sensitive skin

See a good dermatologist. I have seen dramatic effects after someone started to see a dermatologist for these issues.

^ I agree with Mirch seeing a dermatologist is a good idea, If you can't go to a dermatologist then trained staff at a professional salon might be able to give you some advice on skincare?

Also, with water intake - this really helps! I've recently started to do the same and drinking water early in the morning and before you sleep makes a big difference..

I also have combination skin and to control my break outs i use these two products:

Grease Lightning by Lush - This is a spot gel and whenever i get a small bump appearing due to a spot i use this and it really helps!

Mask of Magnaminty by Lush - This is a face mask and you can use as a face scrub too, i try to use it once a week after steaming my face and ive found that its really effective in preventing further breakouts

Umm... If you dont live near a lush store then you could look around your local stores for a spot gel and a face mask for acne to help keep your skin clear.

A homemade face mask that you could try is by combining 1tbsp of besan with enough milk to form a paste, leave it on your face for about 10 mins and rinse off.

Hope this helps! :)

ur welcome,
oh , in that case...
have u heard of multani mitti? someone from my family brought it back from pakistan a few years ago. You make a paste out of it and apply it to your face as a facemask. I tried it out and that helped.

On thing i forgot to mention is use a face scrub about two times a week before going to bed, itll help to lighten any scars over time and make ur skin look more radiant. Just look for a face scrub to suit your skin type =)

Try to look on the dermatologist advise or professional that cares for a face like dermabrasion treatment.

ok so you don't need to rush and see a dermatologist, i have to disagree, her problem is temporary and she just has the expected pimples out of stress, it's not like she developed acne, it's normal, and it will go away.

of course if you wan't to see a dermatologist, it's for your own good, but you shouldn't be worrying too much about it or your skin will react from it too.

like i said, your blemishes will go away, just don't play with them or you'll make it worse, you need to avoid touching your face, firstly because your hands might be dirty and if you irritate your skin it will get red and you'll get scars that take months to fade.

focus on hydrating (use oil free and alcohol free products), DO NOT use foaming cleansers or products that are supposed to be made for blemish prone/problem skin, most of them contain a high quantity of alcohol which is bad, just check the ingredients

drink water and eat vegetables (green ones preferably) and fruits

eat almonds and nuts

hope i helped !

You are right in your first few lines , but she is in a rush to get rid of it , only dermatologists can help her for a fast relief.

Drink lots of water, cleanse, tone and moisturise every night. Make sure you remember to take your makeup off.

Drink lots of water, increase intake of fresh fruits & veggies, do not pick at any pimples or spots so that you don't get marks, do not touch your face a lot so that you don't move the bacteria around and don't get more bacteria on your face.

I never used a lot of beauty products or did a lot of things to my face, even in the months leading up to my wedding and after. I always just used a daily face cleanser (clearasil). For the wedding prep, I started applying rose water w. a cotton ball to my face at night like an astringent- it made my skin glow so much! And that is all I really did- just all natural stuff. I also made an at-home facial using glycerin and rosewater- massaged it into my face for like 10 min., let it sit for about 10 more, then washed it off (no soap) with warm water.
