Acne treatments

depends on why you are getting acne. first, make sure you are doing a gentle cleansing and moisturising routine. cleansing cream or milk will work best, because a foam will strip the skin of oil, making it go “oh my god I’ve got no oil!” then go into overdrive making more, then making your problem worse! if you must use a foam, make sure it doesnt contain sodiam lurel sulphate, very bad for your skin. you can use a toner, but if it stings, burns, makes your skin tight or red, then it is not right for you. moisturising is also very important, again the whole no oil thing. it should make your skin feel comfortable, not oily or still dry. try a medicated moisturiser, tea tree, benzyl peroxide, something for acne. try visiting a beauty therapsit for a free skin consultation, they can tell you if you actaully do have acne or not to begin with. for most people a good cleansing routine will fix up most problems. gentle exfoliation 1-2 times per week will also help. try this routine for at least 30 days. if you still have a problem, try taking vit A (this is what a lot of acne medication is made out of) on a daily basis, and if you are female also evening primrose oil. these help balance the skins secretions and hormones, which really help, especially if your acne is the chin/jawline area. again, try for at least 4 weeks to see result. if this fails, see your doctor. acne medication can be dangerous, so you will probably be put on anti-biotics for 4- 6 months, then acne medication if this doesnt help.
