Acne questions, plz help?
First of all, no one has flawless skin. Some people have it better than others, but thats just genes and stuff. Go to www.freewebs .com/reelbeauty11 for skin and beauty tips. I know its for young girls, but it works for anyone! I know some people who have tried ProActive and it worked, but I also know some others who have tried it and it made it worse :( I know some who have put rubbing alchol on their skin or peroxcide to dry up the pimples. It also kills bacteria :) . Also, try going to a dermotoligist, or ask your regular doctor. Often times the regular doctor, who knows more about your med. history and whatnot can help you more than a dermatologist. are you a vegetarian? That might have something to do with it. Its worth checking into. Overall, remember that beauty counts more on the inside than on the outside, and your true friends will love you for you, and not your skin. Oh, and try a different kind of foundation, if you wear it. Try to use a kind with lots of water in it. It looks great and doesn't clog pores half as bad. And check your habits - do you prop your chin up a lot with your hands? That might cause the acne as well. Look for the cause, as well as the cure.
I have a skin problem that I need help with?
I'm really sorry about your skin problem. I have Earl Mindell's (he's a pharmicist, master herbalist, and professor) "Secret Remedies" book and here is what he recommends; 1. Watch your intake of salty & processed foods, i.e. chips, fries, etc. Contrary to popular belief, salt & iodine may be more contributors than "fatty" foods. 2. Keep your skin clean, but avoid harsh skin cleansers. 3. Squeezing the pimples can cause infection & scarring. 4. The following supplements are recommended by him as well; Acidophilus: 1-3 caplets 30 minutes before eating, up to 3 times a day. Betacarotene: 25,000 IU daily Bee pollen cream: apply to skin 3 times a day Selenium:1-2 capsules (100-200mcg) daily. Vitamin C: 2, 500 mg capsules of calcium ascorbate daily. Grapeseed extract: Up to 3, 100 mg capsules daily. Evening Primrose Oil: 1-3 500 mg capsules a day. Most of these things are available at the grocery store. Taking supplements can get a little expensive as well, so I recommend reading his book to see explanations, etc. to get a sense of what you may or may not "need". It may take some time/trial & error...but hang in there! Good luck, and I hope things get better for you!
Please tell me home remides for sunburn?
These home remedies can provide you with d better treatment than anything that you would get from a doctor. Well, one of d best home remedies for sun burn is to apply cold water to d affected areas of your body. This can be done by simply placing cold compressions on d affected area for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. But if you're looking for a more long term solution, you can soak in a bath of cold water. This might be a bit uncomfortable on d rest of your body, but it will feel great (good healing effect) on your sunburn. Also, another good sunburn home remedy that's easy to follow includes is by drinking lots of water. upon loading up water you'll be fighting dehydration, & then at d same time speeding up d healing process of your sunburn problem. On d other hand, sprays & lotions can work also. The good thing about these medications is that they can be bought over b counter, & they are usually what doctors esp. dermatologists recommend anyhow. Remember that d lotion must contain Aloe Vera. For this will speed up d healing process, & will make your skin feel so much better... Finally, d popular Calamine lotion is good if you feel itching is killing you. This is scientifically been proven to be one of d best ways to take d itching sensation out of sun burnt skin...
Acne/Pimple problem! HELP!!!!?
I dont liek proactive it doesnt work but the proactive sulfer refining mask works soooo good i love it its the only product that gets rid of my zits, u can buy it through proactive, i buy it off ebay its about $15 but its good i put it on right after i pop a pimple and it makes it smaller and go away faster, but i would try flower water and tooth paste mixed together that is wat u use to do before i got the mask, so try that.
Please HELP! :( I'm desperate & depressed. (Whiteheads & acne)?
i've had the same problem with acne.. so these "tips" are coming from my personal experiences.. 1. you didn't mention your age, if you're in mid to late 20's you can try facial for the white heads and there some types of facials that're good for acne too.. if you can't go to a parlor do it at home.. you can Google the procedure cos its too long to write here.. 2. never squeeze your zits or white-heads before "preparing" your skin.. steam your face first so the pores are more open, then wrap a soft fabric around your finger tips and gently put pressure around the white head, don't push too hard, if its ready to come out it will without leaving a scare.. put "toner" after wards.. (plain cucumber juice can work as toner as well :) put cucumber in a blender and squeeze the pulp to get the juice ) 3. for the cystic acne, get a cup of hot water, hot enough that you skin can handle it with burning, add a tablespoon of salt (regular cooking salt), soak a towel or a soft clean cloth in the water and place it on you zit, repeat a couple of times... salt dries up the excess oil and will reduce the size and pain of the cyst and will bring the gunk out into the surface faster.. 4. i'm all for natural remedies... you can find plenty online... orange peel powder mixed in water and plain cucumber juice are my fav, they are soothing and take the redness down as well as clean the pores.. just apply all over face, wash after 15 mins.. 5. eat healthy, do some exercise, deep breathing, and green tea are beneficial for over all well being.. 6. take up any over the counter medication if you want.. you can still use the natural remedies.. just be gentle and patience.. i hope you find these tips helpful.. just stick to one routine and you'll see the difference in a week.. Good luck..
How do I remove pimple holes from my face with home remedies?
Tea Tree OilWith its natural inflammation-fighting properties, a 5 percent solution of tea tree oil is less harsh than a 5 percent benzoyl peroxide solution and can be just as effective against acne, though it may clear up a little less quickly. Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with between 20 and 40 drops of witch hazel, then use a cotton swab to apply. Try this remedy up to twice a day; more could dry your skin and make the acne worse.Green TeaGreen tea has antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds that can help fight acne. To get its effects, use a cooled cup of green tea as a face wash or lay the bag over the affected area.HoneyHoney’s antibiotic properties can help improve acne. Apply a teaspoon of honey to affected areas, or make a mask by mixing 1/2 cup of honey with 1 cup of plain oatmeal and leaving it on for 30 minutes.MintMint can help remove pore-clogging oil. To help clear acne before it begins, mix 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh mint with two tablespoons each of plain yogurt and oatmeal (use a blender to pulverize the oatmeal to powder). Leave the concoction on your face for 10 minutes, then rinse off with water.AsprinThe salicylic acid in aspirin is a go-to for acne treatments, and the aspirin can dry up pimples and reduce inflammation. To take advantage of its benefits, form a paste by mashing aspirin in a little water, or dissolve four pills in 2 tablespoons of water.Omega-3 fatty acidsOmega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can improve acne. Get the benefits from a taking a multi-nutrient capsule containing fish oil, or add more salmon, albacore tuna, flaxseeds, and walnuts to your diet.Acidic foodsAcidic foods like citrus fruit juice or vinegar can flush pores. Dab a little onto a cotton ball to help battle acne; gently swipe the cotton on the affected areas.LemonsLemons act as an exfoliant, skin lightener, and disinfectant to reduce the appearance of scars and prevent new pimples from forming.
