Acne treatments?
Becca E asked:
I play volleyball for school, so my face gets really oily and sweaty, causing more pimples and zits to form. I have tried every single type of acne treatment out there. I even have prescription acne treatment. It’s not working, though. I need some tips to clear up my face and keep it clear.

try cetaphil face wash. and stridex pads
accutane perscription medicine
kind of a knock-off proactive found in most drug stores.. its called acne free. its one of those three part acne meds.. no Rx necessary. i think it works really well!
also, maybe try and find some sort of a medicated face wipe that comes in individual packets so you can carry them around to the gym and stuff, and wipe your face right after games or practices to get all the gunk off of your face asap. i think stridex makes some of those
Facials are what we do for skin maintenance atleast once a every 3months. For regular hygiene do steam regularly. Don’t poke or extract your blackheads harshly like there is no tomorrow. i do believe that we have the same, oily to combination skin type, especially around our T-Zone. It is interesting for people to think that avoiding creams can help solve oily skin. But its wrong. You just have to find the right-based cream. Cream and Water-based works best for skin like ours. Veer away from oil based creams during day time, you can use them during the night.
You can best help your skin if you do the 3-step facial regimen: wash, tone and moisturize. Washing helps remove dust that accumulated on the surface of the skin, toning provides additional cleaning as well as it preps the skin by removing dead skin cells that can just block healthy cells’ absorption of the third step, the moisturizer.
The key is to be able to find the right product to help you with your problem. I can suggest the brand: Mario Badescu. They have a line of products that really is good for our type of skin, I personally recommend the Enzyme Cleansing Wash, Cucumber Toner and the best HONEY MOISTURIZER. If you use these products, they don’t have the same ”stretched-dry-skin” that other products leave. This is often the misconception of people, that dryness and no oil means clean skin. What Mario Badescu does is gently and effectively clean it. Plus they’re natural.
For additional cleaning and maintenance on acne, try their DRYING LOTION pink stuff that you put on your pimples which dries it, it stings but the stingy signals that it works. ACNE GEL, which serves as your drying lotion maintenance during day time. To Remove black marks that are left by acne, use their GLYCOLIC WASH and BUFFER LOTION. Check out their line of products online. I dont work for them, its just that they really work and i would like to share it with you.
Kudos to a healthier skin.
Try not to dry your face out! A lot of times, when you strip your face from it’s natural oils (because you think your face is oilier than it really is), it’ll produce even MORE oil.
Try going on a detox of products for a while to understand what your face reacts to.
I’d suggest a natural product, since a lot of skin problems may be caused by irritation from synthetic products (that happened with me). My choice is either Fresh Farmacy or Coal Face from Lush (www.lush.com). Fresh Farmacy is amazing for sensitive, but acne prone skin, while Coal Face is great for greasier, oily acne-prone skin.
Then, after 2 weeks, see how your face reacts. Is it tighter than normal? Add on a super light moisturizer!
Is it oilier? Add an alcohol-free toner!
Has it reacted with your soap to have an allergic reaction? Change soaps to something softer.
Usually, people like to stick to a 3-Step type system: soap/cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. I love this idea too, but if you don’t like that, then, stick with 2 products or even just one.
Now… for your acne. By this step, if you’ve found a soap &toner/moisturizer to fit your skin, then, your acne should be relatively better. But, we’re teens, so we have acne none the less.
Instead of putting on the prescription acne-cream ALL over your face, but on those little patches of acne. Not too much, either, but just there. It should clear up, and done over-use the product either.
Another good way to help your skin? Don’t dry it with a towel. It’s a breeding ground for germs and roughs your face up too!
One last point to remember is that your skin directly reflects your lifestyle and food choices. If you haven’t slept properly, your skin is going to be dull. If you don’t eat properly, it can cause your skin to have more acne than normal. Cut down on sugar, and boost up your veggies and water. It’ll make a WORLD of difference in a week.
Hope I helped, but remember: your skin is a work in progress and always changes.
Good luck!
A few friends of mine are absolutely “hooked” on 2 soaps which I originally bought for a friend of mine whose skin problems would not clear up – not even with dermatologists’ help. Go to the following website address and contact the owner. She’s a medical practitioner, and the soaps I bought from her improved my friend’s skin like no other treatment ever did. Months later they continue to work, and she is one happy gal! The website address is:
It’s a very informative site. I even subscribed to its newsletter – the only newsletter I subscribe to, but it really IS a wonderful place to learn stuff about skin, sleep, stress, etc. I’m sure you’ll like it too!
What your skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.
I heartily recommend ClearPores Facial System.
I know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS (you can imagine the scars she used to have!) and she finally got rid of it completely.
She’s sharing her success story at her site:
You SHOULD read it!

If you are playing a lot of sports and have greasy skin then one of the best things that you can do is wash your face three times a day. Wash twice with cetaphil or glycerine soap (to clean you pores) and once just wash your skin with water only. One of the real problems that people have with acne is that it gets a lot worse if you over dry your skin by using soap or a drying lotion to often.

Applying lavander essential oil works wonders. I didn’t really believe it until someone reccomded I try it instead of the standard on the shelf stuff.
Besides that, I have found the following things matter and tend to effect acne.
1) Eating sugar (and artifical ones). If you eat no sugar your predispotion to acne drops a lot. Mine completely vanished when I did.
2) Eating greasy fried food (aka fast food). I noticed I was able to feel outbreaks coming on as I ate the stuff. I think sugar matters more though.
3) Getting rid of hair covering the face (so beards, sideburns, or long curly hair that gets to your cheaks). I don’t know why this one matters but it does.
4) Washing the face with water from a shower. The more you wash it the better it gets. However, chlorine which is in all tap water irritates it as well, so if you get the chance to get a chlorine shower filter that goes a long way to fixing your skin (and hair).
There are some other anecdotal things I am not sure of in anyway about acne, but I’d leave it as; if you are generally healthy then you will not get acne, so most of the time its best to just think of acne as an indictator for your body. Then again its a pretty awful one to deal with, and I went through a lot of grief before I figured out what I just told you.
