I have some zits on my forehead but just a couple, but mostly ACNE SCARS! How can I get rid of them? I have a lot of blackheads on my nose and I have tried those pore strips, but they just don't work, how can I get rid of them? HOW CAN I GET CLEAR SKIN PERIOD?Aaaaahhhhh, ZITS, BLACKHEADS, AND ACNE SCARS?
You can use any product with salicylic acid in it for nose and forehead breakouts. Just wash your face with something like Neutrogena's Deep Clean washing gel. It deep cleans your pores and keeps them clean if you are regular about washing in the morning and at night. If you become a bit too dry, just use it once per day and see if the results are better.
As for scars, a product like Mederma would help. Both of these are found in most drugstores.Aaaaahhhhh, ZITS, BLACKHEADS, AND ACNE SCARS?
Woah i want to ask the same question.
Try not to touch your face...it's a hard habit to break but dirt, oil, and germs will get into your face and block your pores.
A common myth is that if you have oily skin, you should not moisturize it. This is wrong. If you have oily skin, you need to moisturize it, because if you do not, your skin will produce more oil to compensate. Try a good oil-free moisturizer, or Enzymion (from Lush). This is fast-acting and the fruit enzymes in it break down oil on the skin's surface- no more shiny noses!
Biore and Clean %26amp; Clear are good products. Try Clean %26amp; Clear Black head scrub and Biore nose strips.
When you use a nose strip wet your nose with a clean face cloth and then dry your hands.
After that open the packet that the nose strip is in, and rip the little tabs for a better fit on your nose.
Put the sticky side on your nose and wait for around 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the nose strip should be hard papier mache. Remove it.
Another option is using a black head removing tool. These are available at Sephora for 16 dollars. You need to steam your face first, and make sure that the tool is FREE OF GERMS AND BACTERIA.
Exfoliating with a facial scrub is a great way to get rid of blackheads. Don't use it if you have bad acne, as it will rub off the top part of the acne and will spread to other parts of your face, which means more acne to deal with.
try proactiv.. it works for me
ACNEXUS.com. It is ONE step ALL NATURAL and works 500 times better than proactiv or Murad. I've fought Acne for 17 years, and this did more in 2 uses than years with everything else. It's cheaper than other things, quicker to use (you just wash your face with it) and it comes with a 100% money back guarentee. Try it!!
proactiv maybe, murad, there are alot of acne medicines you can try.
.go to a dermatoligist! my sis did and she got a lot of great tips. they will help you and sometimes they can even give u a pill to take that will help your acne.
idk about acne scars, they mite never go away but all i know is you probably got them from popping your pimples which is a big no no.
cleanse your face every day in the shower and don't touch your face because your oils on you hand or fingers can cause ance break outs.
good luck and c a dermatoligist they can really help you.
That's a tough question. Most acne scars fade over time, so don't worry. Everyone has to go through the whole pimple thing, most people can't get completely clear skin. I suggest washing your face often and with exfoliating scrubs, and staying away from much makeup and foundation that can cause more pimples. Be careful not to pop any more! Also, rub Vitamin E oil --break the capsule-- on the scars, oil helps with all kinds of scars. Good luck!
Okay. I have used proactiv and it is not as good as it may seem. let's just say that it's not as good as it may seem. However, I know something that will absolutely work for you.
Try Clinique Acne Solutions :
Not only will it work, but it only takes a short period of time.
I went to my moms this weekend and used her extractor, which was the most amazing thing. It is used to take off whiteheads and blackheads off of your skin. It works amazingly. I was so addicted I was taking everything off and now my face is so much more clear and prevents it from scarring, unlike when you pop it yourself which is so bad. I think you can get this at any beauty supply or beauty store that sells make up like Sephora or Ulta Cosmetics etc. With the scarring the best thing I think is Mederma, which you can get at any drug store. Also make sure you exfoliate as much as you can when you wash your face which removes dead skin cells and bacteria. There is one more thing if it is really serious you may want to look into microdermabrasion, it is actually pretty inexpensive but is well worth the money and renews your skin.
I don't have blackheads or scars, but I've been using the new Olay hydrate %26amp; cleanse face wash with ';micro-bead cleansing serum'; and I've had clear skin for months now.
Queene Helene MInt Julep Masque -- three bucks at drugstores. this stuff is amazing if you use it regularly. it will dy out zits, bring blackheads to the surface, help oily skin, and cleanse deep down. its amazing. and it feels all tingly cuz it works!!!!!!!!!
Acne Scar Treatments
Before committing to any specific method of treatment for your scarring, make sure you do a LOT of research first. Every treatment option has pros and cons, and every treatment option will improve the appearance of some people’s scars while worsening the appearance of others. These treatments can also be very expensive, which means you need to be very selective about your dermatologist – sometimes they’re in it for their patients, other times they’re in it for the money. Here are some tips to help you pick the right skin doc for you:
When initially selecting a dermatologist, visit several different ones. Contrast what the different doctors tell you and follow it up with a little research of your own to determine which one is really the best for you. Beware of doctors that pressure you to commit on the first visit and push new and expensive procedures on you. Search for the doctors name (with quotes) in a search engine like Google and see what you find. If you’re not comfortable with any of them, move on and keep looking.
Get each doctor to tell you very specifically what course of treatments they would prescribe for your scarring, and then get them to explain to you in plain english exactly why they are prescribing that particular course. If you think you may forget, write it down or bring along a voice recorder. Follow up their advice with your own research and if you receive opposing treatment plans, bring them up to other dermatologists and see how well they respond.
Insist on seeing before and after pictures of their previous patients. How many of the people in the ‘before’ pictures have scarring that resembles yours? Can you contact any of these people?
How long have they been practicing dermatologists? What treatments do they have experience prescribing and performing?
Some people who have had their acne scars successfully treated report that as they age, the scarring gradually returns. Other people who have been unable to reduce their scarring report the exact opposite effect. My point is that everyone is different. Be realistic with your expectations and above all: research, research, research! Try to get in contact with people who have successfully treated scarring that is similar to your own and learn what they did. Sometimes you can find these people through dermatologists, support groups, and online forums and communities. We’ve added some links to a few online sources at the end of this article. Now on to the treatments:
Subcision
Cost: Up to $1000 per treatment.
Procedure: Subcision is a treatment where the upper layer of skin is detached from the deeper tissue, allowing blood to flood into the opening and raise the skin in the treated areas. This is usually used to treat shallow and rolling scars and often requires multiple treatments.
Punch Treatments
Cost: $50-$150 per treatment.
Procedure 1 - Punch Replacement: This method involves physically cutting out the entire scar and replacing it with a skin graft.
Procedure 2 - Punch Excision: This method involves physically cutting out the entire scar and then stretching the surrounding skin closed around the wound and letting it heal, thus avoiding the need for a skin graft.
Procedure 3 - Punch Elevation: This method is similar to subcision; it involves cutting the scar loose from the deeper tissue below it and then letting it heal. This usually results in the treated area elevating slightly, which can diminish the appearance of certain types of scarring.
Chemical Peels
Cost: $600-$800 per treatment.
Procedure: One of many different types of acid is applied to the skin, allowed to sit for a period of time and then removed. The acid removes the top-most layer of skin. This usually results in a slightly smoother end result and is helpful for very mild scarring.
Dermabrasion
Cost: $1200-$2000 per treatment.
Procedure: Dermabrasion (not to be confused with microdermabrasion) is a process where the top-most layer of skin is removed mechanically. The skin to be treated is first numbed, and then a rotating abrasive disk is used to ‘sand’ off the top-most layer of skin. This is a painful procedure and does require some down time. Many people who have tried this approach have found that it provides only short-term results, and that the scars do grow back over time.
Laser Resurfacing
Cost: $2500+ per treatment.
Procedure: This is very similar to dermabrasion in that it involves physically removing the upper-most layer of skin to achieve a smoother effect – but instead of abrasive disks or pads, lasers are used. This is very expensive and the results appear to be very similar to those reported by people who have undergone dermabrasion – the scars can return.
Acne.org has started collecting people’s experiences with the above treatments. If you are considering any of them, you should definitely check them out here: Acne.org’s Acne scar treatments section.
Acne Scar Creams
There is certainly no shortage of creams and balms that claim to cure everything from impotence to scarring, but do they work? Most of the reports we have found say “no”, however there are always a few who claim success with these methods, so here is a list of the ones we have found that have had at least one reported success story associated with them (and we only found two!).
Creams containing cocoa butter and vitamin E help keep your skin soft, elastic and healthy. Regular use of such creams may help scars diminish naturally over time. We would recommend combining this with an overall healthy lifestyle.
Apply a 3x solution of medical-grade hydrofluoric acid (or a product which contains it) to the scarred area twice daily for one to two weeks. Do this ONLY under the supervision of your dermatologist because this CAN damage your skin.
Balck headsIt can be easier to prevent blackheads than it is to get rid of them. Instead of trying a blackhead home remedy, consider these simple steps for clear and healthy skin:
Wash face daily with a mild cleanser and warm water. Be gentle. Don't use bar soap on the face because it can clog pores.
Gentle exfoliants can be used to remove excess skin cells so they don't clog up pores. This can also be a good blackhead home remedy if you do get blackheads.
Don't use make-up on skin that is prone to blackheads. If you do use make-up, use a hypo-allergenic brand.
Avoid oily foods. Instead, eat foods high in beta-carotene, like carrots, cantaloupe, and other yellow-orange fruits and veggies.
If you have blackheads, don't pick at or squeeze them. That is not a good way of how to get rid of blackheads. It will cause more inflammation in the area and just make matters worse.
I agree.
I used the blackhead strips.
They dont work.
But if the scars are really bad, go to a dermatologist.
Other than that, some at home facials really work.
And washing your face everyday will help to.
You can go to google and look for some ';at home facials';.
They work.
Good Luck.
