Re: Spots!

when u will get ur facial done they will remove ur black heads so i wont recommend u to do it urself…i heard scrubs help to remove black heads but they never help me :bummer: … cant say anything abt those spots…sowieee

Re: Spots!

i strated having regular facials bt then i realised that my skin started becoming 2 sensitive and more prone 2 spots so I stopped again...it got rid of blackheads though...those crazy masks and washes dnt remove the blackheads though...Thanks

Re: Spots!

tabu..i swear we're so alike!

im drinking like 2-3 litres of water a day, exfoliating, i have lemon & water in the morning & iv come out with 5 spots on my cheek! i never get spots...as for black heads dont even go there- i just scrub my nose with a towel after iv had a bath..it gets rid of them (but dont rub too hard)

iv been told its cos of the heat & stress..but im not even that stressed.. let me no if u find a way to get rid of them x (il reply to ur pm in a sec)

Re: Spots!

Could exfoliating every day be irritating your skin?

Also, you may not think you are stressed but sometimes we internalize stress during times of change. It's really common during weddings.

Also, don't overdo the water. Drink as much as you need, but don't drown yourself in the process :p

As for blackheads, the biore strips work well.

Re: Spots!

Hi Sahara, I use Boire strips..and they gd..but it seems they cum bk 2 quick..

i c wt u mean abt using exfoliation 2 much

just relax and dont streess

Re: Spots!

eh le

Re: Spots!

**^ahahahahah!

Well now that sounds interesting....Have you ever tried Neutrogena's Blackhead Eliminating
Scrub and Astringent?

The scrub I've tried and tested! I don't use it no more BUT while I was at it I never got any blackheads.... **

Re: Spots!

Thanks..will try that def...

Re: Spots!

the fact that the spots are on your cheeks near your ears is usually something to do with the hormones i read this somewhere and yeh it is understandable since your wedding is near but dont overdo it on all those masks n stuff just leave your skin for now maybe try the clean moisturise tone thing and near wedding get a few facials . that is what i did and my skin was all clear on my wedding

Re: Spots!

its just grease...:) I hope you are not eating salan and stuff..keep you diet light..putting stuff on your skin all the time could also be irritating it.

8 glasses is enuff water, u don't have to over-do it. The heat/stress can all be factors that are causing u to break-out, try to go sans makeup and avoid using foundation/powders if u can. Just keep u're skin very clean and use a tea-tree astringent.

I have the worst kind of skin imaginable - OVER sensitive. I breakout when I am stressed. I breakout when I eat oily food. I breakout when I eat nuts/dried fruits. I breakout when I don't sleep well. I breakout when I eat certain types of fruitds... and the list goes on.

Anyway, for the past month now... I have been paying a lot of attention to my skin. I have been trying to do everything that I am supposed to... and believe me the condition of my skin has improved drastically!

Here are a few things that you should perhaps consider:

  • Clean skin properly
  • Use a good cleanser
  • Use COLD water while washing your face
  • Pat your skin dry (as opposed to vigorously rubbing the towel against your skin.)
  • Use a mild astrigent
  • Use an oil-free moisturizer
  • Use sun-screen lotion
  • Drink about 6-8 glasses of water per day
  • Use a mask once a week
  • Use a gentle scrub once a week
  • And last but not least... LEAVE your skin alone (i.e. don't pick at your pimples).

Try the above routine for at least two weeks and see if you notice any difference in your skin.

Good luck!

ok scrubbed my nose with a towel after bath and it worked..but i tink i was a bit too harsh and ripped some of my nose skin..no permanant damage but be careful still girlies...I learnt my lesson!

Re: Spots!

Aishii I obviously didnt read the 'dont rub too hard' part lol
