acne problem :(....need some natural solution

HI ..

My age is 25 years and since my teenage i have been suffering from acne problems.
Becoz of pimples i have got many light scars on my face and many many open
pores. And on my nose i have few very big open pores. It looks very ugly on face.

In my early 20ies i used to get big pimples but now I dont get much big puss filled acnes but each and every pore of my face is filled with some white things. I guess its WHITEHEAD all over my face.


When i take out that white part from pores of my face, i feel light from inside but on other hand my face skin get swallon by that and its look more ugly, as if it is bitten by mosquitos.

I am trying to use product meant for the oily skins but dint get any difference in my skin appearance. I am trying to use home made face mask of tomato and sandlewood, it takes out some oil but still i dont feel freshness in my skin.

I got married last year and my husband tells me that i should do something to my skin so that it looks smooth.
If i touch my skin I feel its uneven becoz of pimple or whithead or ......i dont know WHY.......

I have read about MICRODERMABRASION, how much effective it is and can you tell me some other method too to keep my skin in good condition.

Please help me... i dont have anyone who can guide me in this..
thanks

well, i'm no dermatologist or anything.. only they could tell you what to do. but i use st.ives medicated apricot scrub! i love the stuff.. and for the puffiness, i've heard to dab a witch hazel soaked cotton ball on them.. i dunno if it works or not.. also, try pro-active.. it really works!!! my brothers 15 and just loaded by acne.. he used it for 2 weeks and his skin is clear! it's kinda a pain to use.. it's 3 steps and kinda time consuming..but it's worth every minute. good luck!

I've heard that rubbing some lemon juice on the affected areas will help bring the blemishes down.

From my own experience, Clean and Clear blackhead facial scrub works quite nicely. I'm not sure if that's the exact name, but this cream comes in a blue semi-transparent squeeze bottle and the cream has little blue grits in it. Also, I use something from my dermatologist called BenzaClin (clindamycin benzoyl peroxide gel) and it dried up my acne rather swiftly. But be cautioned if you use this stuff - it can leave bleach stains on clothing.

Thanks for you valuable help.

I have already used clean and clear but its not affecting much for me but yes lemon works, but my skin is sensitive so lemon juice gives itiching sensation to me.

I havent used pro-active products till now , will try that too , hope it will work for me too.

Well i have read from some other forum that epidermix microdermabrasion products are good to use to reduce scars and also helps in minimizing appearance of pimples on face ..

Did anyone has tried this and can comment on this???

I am 14 and dont have acne yet and am using clinique solution to prevent future acne and umm but i hear Pro-active and nuetragena is good !!! Clinique is working good on me tho

I'm 14 and iv'eonly ever had minor acne...one of the major benefacters to ance is diet...do you eat a lot of oily foods or fatty foods?

I think you should have microdermabrasion, you might have to stay indoors for around seven days whilst healing, the procedure will lightly sandpaper to put it mildly , the first couple of top layers of the skin off, leaving you with a new skin, you could also investigate intensive light pulse laser, with so much modern technology around that can fix such problems, i would not hesitate in getting it done if it were me.

Do it for yourself though and not because your husband is making you feel less attractive, he married you as you appear today.

My son had horrible acne, and what also helped him a lot was taking vitamin A zinc, and breaking open vitamin E oil capsules and rubbing on the face, cured his reoccuring acne in 4 weeks

Garlic really works! Before you go to bed, just cut a clove of garlic and rub the fresh-cut side on the pimple, and wash your face with facewash in the morning. It completely zaps acne!
May not be suitable for over-sensitive skin but it's definitely worth a try!!

yo i have same problem but im 14, enyways what i did was went to family doctor, she took a look and said to use this stuff called tersaseptic or something, i used it for about 1,2 months and my face is much better now, my solution was talking to my family doctor, maybe you should too

i used to have alot of acne on my chin and forehead, lately iv been using proactive (for like 4 months or more) and its really cleared up my face alot...i barely get any pimples now, u shuld atleast try it and hopefully it will work for u too =] id try it be4 doing somthing to ur face thats really expensive...proactive ussualy costs around $40 (around that anyway i could be a bit off) for the 3 peice kit and it lasts for about 3 months if u use it as directed. i buy it at my mall but im sure theres other places u culd get it too...gl!
