Acne Logs.

When we buy a product, especialy skin care product, we expect it to work. But a lot of people
makes some mistakes when start using acne products, so Here are few simple steps or rules if you will, one
should follow in order to achieve positive results in acne treatment.

Biggest mistakes people usualy make are:

Starting too fast and quitting too early is one of them: many posts and comments can be found in this very Blog about this -
first, and biggest mistake. People start using the ABC cream and quit to fast. This acne cream is made with use of new technology
which increases its effectiveness so it is wise to not just stop using it after just day or two. Depends on severity of your acne, it may take
from few days to couple of weeks to really notice the improvements in your acne treatment. So, let the natural formula works its way in, don't give up fast and you will see the results of its effectiveness.

Since the ABC acne cream has a sulfur in its ingridients, if applied too much or too often can make your skin dry in some cases little flaky. In
order to avoid this, you shouldn't use the acne and blemish control cream more than suggested i.e 2 - 3 times a day with thin layer is more than enough.
If you experience redness or drying which normaly subside after a few days, then you should not stop using the cream, instead, start slowly, once a day gradualy increasing to recommended dosage.

Another mistake is Not being gentle enough: when you apply the ABC cream, please allow some time for it.Make sure to go slowly and let the cream glide over
your skin. Try to be patient and let it absorb on its own without forcing it. Only after it absorbed you can apply a misturizer or makeup, but let the crem
get absorbed first.

Try as much as you can using recomended cleanser and moisturizer, or if you use the other once which you already like than make sure they
don't contain comedogenic oils, exfoliating cleansers, chemicals that can irritate, don't use irritating shavers.

I red about it so gave it a shot, hey its not gona heart anyways...cause its just oil :-) right?
Here is what i found and did as daily regiment:
Every Morning:
NU SKIN Exfoliant Scrub: Extra Gentle
OXY 10% Benzoyl peroxide Acne WASH
Neutrogena Healthy Skin SPF 15
1. Scrub all over face with 30 seconds and rinse with warm water.
2. Apply Oxy 10% on wet face and foam for 30 seconds. Rinse with warm water, then rinse with cold water.
3. 10 Minutes later, apply lotion.
During the Day:
1. Apply Extra Virgin Olive oil, leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm. Rinse with cold.
and then at Night:
1. Same what i did in the morning, minus the scrub and lotion.
Result was: Face is clear except for blackheads, clogged pores, and a few red marks. Use Queen Helene twice a week.
Hoepfully this works for my blackheads.

One day at a time.
cool blog and i enjoy reading some stories here. we all need some moral support.
i ve had acne since 7th grade and now i am takin it raely just one day at a time.
everything is so changable in my life, one day i wake up and don't
even want to see my face in the mirror another day the sun is out, i look
at my face and think - it is not so bad, it could be worse. we have very
good youth group in our church for like guys of different ages.
our church is very big and it has a lot of families, kids, teens...so i am not along with this endless acne strugle,
so i take one day at a time now hoping that my pimples goes a way and one morning
i wake up without any of them on my face....

More i live with acne more i convinced that acne is a genetic desease. You can dring pure water or cranbery juse, clean your room or eat acutane for breakfast it does not matter. I don't believe for a minute that by doing all those and many other advices on acne treatments my acne will get better or go away completely. They run in my family, my mother and both of her sisters had acne, my grandfather had acne, my brother has acne, my cousins have acne. You will never convince me that acne cannot be linked to genetics. Acne is a disease, just like high blood pressure and high cholesterol it is fact. It is something that can be passed down from generation to generation and that is a another proven fact. I'm sure a lot of people here agree with me that healthy people can have acne too, and people who just eat junk food all day and live in dirty houses can have perfectly clear faces. i have bunch of friends thair house just like a dump but yet they dont have acne. Acne can be caused by genetics. I am by no means saying that being clean can't help acne, but for some of us, it's not gonna be a miraculous cure. Whe you think about it, no one should have to live with acne, so by all means we should all do whatever works best for us is try to control them till they go away..

Hey boys and girls.., im new to skinimprovements.com, and im sure you guys can guess why im here, im 21 and almost 6 months and ive got lotfs of body acne and countless whiteheads/blackheads on my face. it just came out from nowhere, i thought in my age acne no problems any more but here i am, 21 and starting getting all this fun stuff..
I did some google research about acne, i cam across a few sites that suggested a few supplements,creams, treatments and what have you. its been 3 months since i started taking few multivitamins to clear up my acne. i would just like to know what you guys think abt this? this is what i came up with and taking right now:
Vitamin C 1000mg
Zinc 30mg
MSM 300Mg
Vitamin A 10k UI
Vitamin E 400Ui
Vitamin D 60ui
B Complex
Chronium 200mcg
Selenium 200mcg
Glutathione 500mg
All of those things are antioxidants and from what i learned from my own research they should help get rid of acne and heal it up and i hope they will.
i would just like to see what you guys think about this, and if i should countinue or not. I have seen some progress but i still get a pimple once in a while.

Hey "crazy"...lol
What are u doing to yourself??
That's a lot of pills. I was doing the same thing, trying to get pills to clear up my skin. But, it didn't really work for me. You need to be careful too, my mom developed ulcers when taking zinc and other vitamins.
Really, what has worked best for me is taking NO pills. I find the less crap I put on my face and in my body the better.
Check the ovante acne cream, it has a that stuff but in topical form where you would apply it right where you need it...i.e - right on acne but not IN your stomake...
that is crazy...
Also, you can get a lot of those good antioxidants/vitamins from good food! Try eating more fruits and veggies. It may be more beneficial, but that's just my opinion you know.
You can do whatever you want
