Acne Tips??

Question

Okay so I have bad acne on the T area of my face. I've tried proactiv, neutragena, noxema, you name it i've probably tried. Any home remedies or products I should consider?? 
Also i have natural oily skin.

Answer

Try witch hazel and rose hip oil. Witch hazel is a natural toner so it helps reduce redness and make skin firm, rose hip oil is full of vitamin E which is great for your skin. Also, bentonite clay masks are great, or honey and cinnamon masks too.
Also, I swear oil pulling with coconut oil makes my acne clear up. All you do is put about a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes or so, then spit it out. It's a bit tedious, but it helps pull toxins and heavy metals out of your mouth which I have noticed reduces my acne.

Answer

Go to your local beauty store and have them recommend products, you need to cleanse, tone, moisturise twice a day morning and night EVERY day and exfoliate 1-2 times per week at a very minimum. 
If your acne is bad and painful you could consider seeing a dermatologist they can help with medications like accutane.

Answer

Drink lots of water and decrease dairy intake. Change out your pillow case often. I use a cleanser: brand is Epionce. Cleared my face. I've been battling acne for years. My face has never looked better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel I promise!!!

Answer

I've used PanOxyl and Oxy, both you can easily find at Walmart and they're fairly inexpensive. 
If you don't mind paying a bit more go to the Clinique in Macy's and get their Acne Solutions kit. They also have comparable makeup that matches with the acne solutions kit. It works wonderfully, it's just so expensive to keep up with, I've had to resort back to the things I can buy from Walmart. 
Good luck!

Answer

Go to the dermatologist they have medication they could put you on

Answer

Bentonite clay mixed with apple cider vinegar, bentonite clay is all natural and it pulls all of the dirt and oil out of your skin. It is amazing, the smell mixed with apple cider vinegar is bad but I recently had a bad breakouts in my chin area and that got rid of it.. I used Thayer's rose witch hazel as a toner.

Answer

Have you tried nurse? They sell it at Ulta and I feel it worked for my oily skin!

Answer

Water is the source to start. Our skin is the first line of defense, but the last thing to receive nutrients. And even if you drink up to a gallon a day, if you drink coffee or soda, you have to add in two equal parts to your daily water requirement to make up for it. Dermalogica is a good skin care line. At Ulta they so skin mapping and will tell you the bodily source of your acne. Clean your bed sheets once a week, and use free of dye/fragrance detergents for that and your towels.

Answer

Do you have breakouts (random) or do you have acne (consistent breakouts)? Acne is caused by a horomonal imbalance, in which case you will need to see a doctor. Breakouts occur when you get clogged pores. I'm more than willing to bet you're skin type is combination/oily, especially if you're having trouble with your T-zone. The trouble with OTC products on acneic skin types is that they rarely are strong enough to be effective or, like Proactiv, strip the skin and can actually make the problem worse so you continue to buy. Without being able to see your skin in person, I can't really give you an exact solution but I HIGHLY recommend you go see an esthetician or derm. in your area. Especially because it sounds like it might be more of an internal issue as opposed to a clogged pore issue.

If you're looking for something that can offer you help now, I highly recommend "Emergency Spot Fix" in the Clear Start Line from Dermalogica. It uses Benzoyl Peroxide as opposed to Salicylic acid. My skin never responded to Salicylic acid and it is a trusted, professional line that's available to the public at authorized retailers like Ulta (some CVS/Walgreens have them but they are black market. DO NOT buy. They are either expired or tampered with. Not to mention they jack the price W A Y up.)

:) You can also use Tea Tree oil since it has antibacterial properties, bentonite clay is a good way to detox the skin and absorb oil although it may cause more breakouts initially.
