Acne Skin Care
Acne cream for sensitive skin?
I have mild acne and sensitive skin. So far after using Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (Used twice daily) and St Ives Apricot Scrub for sensitive skin (Used only once every three days), my skin has become smoother and no more dry and flaky. But I'm still having blemishes especially on my cheeks and chin. Can anyone recommend me any good acne cream? Thanks.

- dont use any kinda benzoyl peroxide creams..cos they just make the skin dry..it makes harm to the skin in the later process... instead..try to drink 5-8 ltrs of water everyday..and sweat it out by atleast 30mins of workout..it does wonders.. have any doxycyclin tablets in the start..and then start with prevention process mentioned above..
- I used to have bad acne. What really works is to drink lots of water and go for regular colonic irrigation - it really works!
- Soak cotton wool in mint juice, and apply every day. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
- Cucumber - mashed or in juice form - can be applied to sensitive skin; unlike many other acne home remedies it doesn't dry your skin, on the contrary, it acts like a very gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .
- Firstly using substances derived from vitamin A like retin-a or tazarotene, to reduce inflammation of the skin and to unplug pores. Retin-A can cause skin reddening at first but this is quite normal as the skin's blood supply is improved and younger looking skin begins to appear presenting a youthful complexion. Using a product that includes zinc will also help the vitamin a function better. you can find more information at http://www.nutrition4yourskin.co.uk
- First, I understand where you're coming from. I grew up with really bad acne, not only on my face but on my body as well. It was embarrassing and I tried everything including cleansers, creams, prescription medications, antibiotics, over the counter medications, and even shots from the dermatologist (ouch!) to get rid of it. I never did until many years later when it didn't matter as much. Here's what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way. It's not a topical issue, it doesn't help much to treat it from the outside, it's an inside job. When you treat it from the outside it's like treating the symptoms, not the cause. You'll hear from many people that's not the case, and it's usually because they want you to buy their creams or lotions, and keep buying them month after month after month (or they haven't experienced the truth). Of course, when you stop using it (as you've experienced) your blemishes come back... because you're not treating the cause. And the costs for all of these routines/drugs add up month after month. If you think about it logically, it makes sense. Why do we get rashes, breakouts, or other skin irritations? It's usually because of something we ate, something that wasn't meant to be put on our skin, something that caused us stress and our body reacts to all those things. Bottom line is that most every cause of acne is related to what you eat, how you feel and how you take care of yourself. Your skin is a reflection of what's on the inside. We have lots of toxins building up in our systems and they have to be cleaned out on the inside and that will reflect on the outside. The blemishes, rashes, acne, etc are indications that your body is reacting to what you're eating, to stress, toxins, chemicals, hormones... literally a great number of things. Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 glasses when I wake up (adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times). I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system. I followed the regimen in these two books I found: http://theacnefreein3days.blogspot.com/ and http://theacnenomore.blogspot.com/
- maybe you should try using the SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Solution that you can get from 88db or pharmacy, it is water-based moisturiser that regulates oil right where it’s produced and it helps to regulate oil production at its source, deep within pores, even in the T-zone
