Keeping out acne..

I get acne, obviously so does everyone else my age, but I get the pimples which are underneath the skin and their probably some of the hardest to deal with so this is how you deal with all acne.

Now you probably think I'm going to try and sell you some miracle product, but no. Just some tips.

The first is wash your face three times a day. I say three because less and the dirt and oily will build up on your skin and anymore and the products will dry your skin out. When I say wash your face I just mean get rid of the dirt and oil not necessarily wash with water and cleanser. If you don't mind the water and cleanser then yes do that 2/3 times of the day, but if your like me and find it time consuming and annoying then read on.


The first thing you can use is facial wipes. I personally don't use them because they can be expensive and dry out. Also they only come in about 20 per a pack. This is why I don't use them all the time, but I do own them because if I'm going out and staying the night somewhere they can be really handy.


Now what I actually use is a face cleaner, the one I'm using at the moment is called FORMULA 10.0.6 SO TOTALLY CLEAN, CUCUMBER AND SEA KELP. The way these work is all you have to do is buy the product and cotton balls, squirt a little bit on the cotton ball and wipe all the dirt and oil of your face. You can also get a cream type paste that does this, but I think the liquids work a lot better.This is a good method to use because although the bottle's may cost an average of $15 you save money because they last a long time. I use this 2 day and acne cleanser in the shower is my third.


When you should do it is when you wake up, before you go to sleep and when you get home from school. If you don't go to school then in the middle of your waking hours. I say in the middle of your waking hours and not day because if you wake up at 10 it would be pointless doing it 12. Just get a pattern going and you will soon just slide into it and it will become apart of your habit.




Now if you have sensitive skin I just want to say make sure you go for product that will be kind to your skin. Also if you have a problem with blackheads, find one that controls blackheads, if your having trouble with your t-zone, find one specialized to the t-zone. Read the labels and find out what works best for you.


One last thing, this is for the prevention of acne, but showering with acne cleanser seems to help me when I have one another thing you can do if you have to go somewhere is try and make it as unnoticeable as possible. If you have popped the pimple (like I used to always do) the get the old hydrogen peroxide on a cotton bud to it. If you haven't popped it then used Neutrogena's 4 hour rapid.


Remember everyone this is the method I use on my skin, I'm not a doctor, but it does work for me. If you have any questions or you want to try something different just comment.

thank you
