What do u guys use to keep those undercontrol or reduce the redness and etc. PLeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease helppp I have to go to this wedding in a couple of days so any really fast active stuff would be much appreciated. Im also down with using herbal stuff like garlic? I heard that works:teary1:
Re: treating breakouts
clarisil is good to use over nite on ur face. even though calamine lotion is for itch relief, for children and adults in chicken pox, or poison ivy rashes,
but it can be used to help dry out the break outs.
never ever try to get rid of them when they are forming, we all know that it leaves marks on the skin.
when skin is normal, get a good facial
avoid putting any chalky or liquid foundations - simple complexiion that is zit free is much better than distempering over the face
as always, ask your dermatologist to get best info related to your skin sensitivity.
in summer make sure dirt and perspiraton is cleaned off with the foaming micro scrubs
in winter keep moist by using a good cream.
dont scract on already irritated skin
psychological and emotional stress can cause break outs too, be very carful about this even though sometimes stress is natural to be felt and patiently faced.
excercise and plenty of fresh and cold water intake keeps skins in good shape due to better flow of blood and oxygen in the body and replenishing body's normal moisture.
hope thsi helps

Re: treating breakouts
u can use scrubs such as Biore - pore perfect this cleans out ur pores. but for breakouts i would suggest not using anything on your skin .
try and make a routine , keep the soap that u use on ur skin separate , do not use a used towel on your face. use a moisturiisng cream after u have washed ur face such as astral. drinkk lots of water , eat fruit and veg . and lastly cut down on chocolate and greasy/ fatty foods.
let ur skin use it's natural defences and resist the urge to pik on d spots as they will leave marks and take longer to heal.
good luck i hate breakouts !
