I've always had bad acne until recently. What I do is have a consistent facial cleansing approach. Twice a day i use a good facial cleanser and moisturiser. Also drink water and cut down on sugar.

sunbeds work wonders for mild acne

I used to have insanely bad acne, I stopped drinking all soda, and it went away.

Figures?

Accutane can put you at risk for Crohn's disease. I'd much rather have horrible skin than have to carry a bag of shit on my hip. I think I just have tiny little pores, there's no cure for that. Tanning tends to make me break out, but I like to have a tan, so fuck it. Also, zinc + Vitamin C + daily vitamin made me sick to my stomach. It makes some sort of drug interaction I guess. And there's been virtually no sugar in my diet for the past 3 years. So, back to doing nothing, which I'm comfortable with. I sincerely believe if I don't notice it no-one else will either.

proactive dawg. check out jessica simpson, her skin is luscious

Oh yeah, tried that for awhile, too. Didn't seem to do anything. I think it's mostly for people that use makeup because it forces them to clean it all off.

Since my skin is bad because of hormones, not being a filthy hermit, it's at its worst when my test is out of balance or something. For people like me, when it looks like it's getting out of control is when we'll try something and a week later our hormones balance out and we think it's the product that cleared our skin when it's really just a cycle. I guess I'm saying I think salicylic acid is a racket. Chemical peels work for sure until your skin develops a resistance. That's the only thing I'd recommend and only as an ocassional spot SPAM.

try visiting your local dermatologist. if ur skin is pretty bad he can perscribe you pills and those always work. my friend had some bad acne at the age of 16 and then he started taking pills and it was crazy how soft his face looked

@JTs lol your guide is funny

Go to your dermatologist, I had bad acne but now I put a cream on before i go to bed that drys the skin and take a pill twice a day (morning and night) and my acne severity has decreased a lot. Also, before i was on medication i was finding that taking egg whites with a little lemon juice and mixing it and then putting it over your face, basically a facial mask and leaving it for 10 minutes helped a lot.

tanning or low dose accutane

Hi,
I was studying a book to know about Acne removal herbal ways and came to know that Indian Lilac leaves are also good for acne removing...
So i am going to try this one..

Drinking tomato juice and V8 juice really works well. Clears it right up for myself.

All the best

GO SEE A DERMATOLOGIST! I got to I didn't for a while and my face flared up. I had to go on medication called Acuutane, its like a government regulated drug. Before it gets that bad go see a derm, it will make ur life a lot easier.

PLus if you got oily skin use oil free acne wash. Usually ur scurbs got 2% saliyic acid. A derm can prolly give u something with 5 percent. Acne is a medical condition dude. I speak from experince. No one deserves to have bad acne. See a derm ur life will be easier. That shit scrubs at wallgreen and stuff only work if u got really weak acne.

yeah tomato juice is also better... good post..
