Acne - Skin Care

Question: What's a good acne system?

(Posted by: Selina___xo on 2009-07-03 13:09:26)

To start off, I don't have acne, but I get whiteheads and blackheads quite often. I also have a little bit of scaring, but not much. That's easy to cover up with make up. I hear pro active makes acne worse, so I'm nervous to try it. I would've liked to try Skin ID, but I can't since they won't ship to Canada. I've tried stuff like Clean and Clear, Clinique, Nutrogena, etc. None of it seems to work well. Any suggestions?

All you need is about one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and about half of it nutmeg powder. Add some honey to make enough paste to cover the inflammed area completely. Just lie down as honey may dribble down. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes and wash with luke warm water. Orange peel-Homemade Acne Treatment using Orange peel has been found very effective. Pound the orange peel with water on a piece of stone and apply to acne affected areas. Basil tea-Basil tea like neem is effective in killing bacteria.

I am a cosmetologist. Acne is caused by too much bacteria in your pores. Putting make up over a clogged pore is food for the germs. toss away your foundations because they are contaminated with bacteria. Old make up is full of hungry bacteria. Buy cotton balls and Q-tips to throw away after use. do not ever put used product in sanitary cosmetics. You can buy Oxy 10 for a cheap price to spot a pimple. Never sleep with foundation on your face. It is a breeding ground for bacteria. I am a former model at age 47 and Dawn dish soap and salt or baking soda will shrink the pimples. only use this method when you see a pimple. Don 't fall for expensive products.
