PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.
GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.
1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .
2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.
3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.
4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.
5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.
7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.
8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.
9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.
10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.
11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.
12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.
13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.
14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.
15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.
16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.
17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.
Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.

How are you able to get adult acne marks to fade???
there is a prescription cream called azelec that works well. on a clear day h2o2 by philosophy also is good. it contains hydrogen peroxide. hope this helps!
How are you able to get adult acne marks to fade???
monthly or bi-monthly facials; chemical peels; and microdermabrasian (even the at-home kind will work).
Reply:Acne marks won't fade over time, but if you go to your doctor, and explain that its actually affecting your life - they should be able to give you a cream. You'll need to play on it as the cream is really expensive.
Reply:There is this creme called maderma and its like 8 bucks at walmart.
Reply:I don't know, but I do know to be careful of what it is that you take. A friend of mine was on some mediacation and some antibiotics and they are not not able to have children. Please be careful!
Reply:I have the same problem and what has worked for me is vitamin E lotion and tanning twice a week. The vitamin E helps with scar tissue and the tanning helps to balance my skin %26amp; fade the scars. Good luck!
Reply:go to the derm and get hydroquonine 4%.....u can get a 2% over the counter....but its not at all effective...

How do you get rid of adult acne?
without over-drying or getting too oily........over the counter is so abrasive!
How do you get rid of adult acne?
drink plenty of water , stay away from sulfur and fried foods, use clean and clear facial wash or phiso derm
Reply:Use proactive!!!!! A bunch of celebrities use it, and my friends and family. It works!!!
Reply:PROACTIV that stuff works SO good!!!
I used it for years!!
Reply:My dermatologist said Benzoyl Peroxide is good
Reply:ProActiv does work for a LOT of people. It did not work for me. My husband likes Nature's Cure (it is an over the counter pill). Drinking a lot of water and cutting sodas and certain foods out of your diet might help. If it is serious you should see a dermatologist so that they can get rid of it with minimal scarring.
Reply:believe it or not the water thing is the best and what i use, because i have it to, is the oil of olay regenerist, clears up stuff and makes your skin soft and really supple, in a healthy looking way
Reply:Any over the counter face wash that does not clog your pores and is gentle on the skin (no exfoliates). the best one is called PURPOSE by Johnson %26amp; Johnson
Reply:Start getting regular facials- acneic skin is usually sensitive, too so avoid using abrasive scrubs or over- washing your face. If you dry out your skin , your body will react by producing more oils- what you don't want. If all else fails, see a dermatologist.
Reply:I'm thinking your acne might be the result of your body trying to rid itself of toxins.
So many of the foods we eat and the things we drink are so full of toxins, you wouldn't believe it! I used to feel rundown all the time, and used to get a couple of headaches a week. I've changed my nutrition habits a lot, and it's made a big difference.
Some of the things I've changed are:
- Stop drinking pop. Drink water.
- Stop eating at McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, etcetera. (I do still eat at Subway, and a local hamburger stand, but not very often anymore).
- Stop shopping at conventional supermarkets like Albertson's, Fry's, Safeway. Switch to organic and whole grain foods instead. They're more expensive, but are healthier, and taste better, too. Try switching a few things, and compare the ingredient labels - you'll be shocked at all the chemicals in the foods you're probably buying.
- Read Kevin Trudeau's book, "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About". It confirmed some things I was wondering about, and gave me a lot of information about some others I didn't realize before. It all made a lot of sense to me.
Reply:PROACTIVE dnt change ur diet...cuz then u'll break out more
Reply:order some proactiv...
Reply:Everyday:
For acne, use Ance-Free. It's like Proactiv, but cheaper. You can get it at Wal-Mart, WalGreens, or places like that. Use as directed. You can buy the spot treatment that goes with it. Its called the Terimnator, and is a MIRACLE!! Be sure not to sqeeze, pop, an dpick at your pimples!! this cause bacteria to go from your fingers into the pimple, and makes it stay for another 7 days!! Cover with a medicated (salycilic acid or benyzol peroxide) concealer. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wash you face at night.. sleeping w/ make-up on ages your skin 14 days everytime you do it!! It adds up!!
Twice a Week:
NO SCRUBS while you have pimples. It only irrates it. Try a acne peel (Loreal has one out, follow instructions) during breakouts. When your face clears up, use a scrub (I like St Ive's Medicated Apricot Scrub) after cleansing w/the Acne-Free Purifying Cleanser.. ITS GREAT!! After you use that, apply a mask (I use Nozema Citrus Clean Mask). Apply your Acne-Free toner and moisturizer after that. This will keep your pores free of bacteria and dead skin. Your face will be clear and smooth in no time!!
Reply:It could be rosacea, and if it is, there is no cure. You just have to prevent it. Rosacea can only be dxed by a doctor, and the preventatives include avoiding the triggers that cause the flare-ups, and prescription medications. Many over the counter acne products are NOT designed to treat rosacea, and can actually make it worse. Here's a link from webmd which gives a good overview of rosacea--which actually isn't acne.
http://www.webmd.com/hw/skin_and_beauty/...
Reply:I tried ProActiv and though it does not work it did seriously dry out my skin. I switched to Arbonne's Clear Advantage Skin Care Line and love. It actually is cheaper than what I was paying for ProActiv.
Please contact me and I can tell you more about some other Arbonne products that would be helpful.

Reply:hi,
As acne is a skin care problem, rather than going for allopathic medicines or acne cosmetic products, you must first try simple home remedies that are safe and easily available to your surroundings.
* Aloe Vera juice applied twice a day can greatly help in healing of the scars of the acne.
* Paste of sandalwood (chandan) powder with black gram (masoor) dal can be used on facial skin to treat the acne. Keep it overnight and wash it with cold water the next day.
* Before going to bed apply ice on the face. This will reduce the inflammation and burning sensation on the skin and also lighten the scars of the acne.
* Garlic has been used successfully in the treatment of acne. Rub raw garlic on the affected skin several times a day, it will help to remove the scars. Chronic forms of acne are also healed by this method.
Good days!!

Acne is perhaps the most common chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous (that is fat or grease) glands and hair follicles usually found on the face, the neck, chest, and shoulders. Nearly 8/10 young people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer from some degree of acne. It is closely related to the disturbance in the hormones experienced at puberty.
The majority of patients recover between the ages 20 and 30 years. But it is still common in men over 30 years. In women, it rarely lasts beyond the early 30s and is normally worse before each menstrual period. The disease causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about personal appearance.
The skin, covering the entire body, is a marvellous and intricate mechanism. It serves three main purposes; namely, protection of the inner organism, regulation of body temperature, and elimination of cell waste and systemic refuse. The skin is directly connected with and intimately bound up with the working of the whole system. All skin diseases, including acne, are the outcome of malfunctioning of the body as a whole.
Symptoms: Acne is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads, pimples, small superficial sebaceous cysts, and scars. There are over half a dozen forms of acne. All of them are concerned with sebaceous glands or the glands connected with hair follicles. The most common form of acne is blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, and chin, the chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with black heads with extensive scarring.
Causes: All forms of acne have their origin in wrong feeding habits, such as irregular hours of eating, improper food, excess of starches and sugar, excess of fatty foods. Chronic constipation is another major cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin disease. Yet another important cause of acne is a devitalised condition of the skin resulting from unhygienic living habits. Other causes of the disorder are excessive use of tea, coffee, alcohol or tobacco, strenuous studies, masturbation, and sedentary habits which lead to indigestion and general debility.
Treatment: The treatment of acne by the administration of salve or ointment does not serve any purpose. They only suppress the action of the sebaceous glands temporarily. In nature cure, the main emphasis is on diet and certain water applications. To begin with the patient should resort to all-fruit diet for about a week. In this regimen, there should be three meals a day, consisting of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, pineapple and peaches. Citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed or tinned fruits should not be taken. Unsweetened lemon or plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and nothing else. During this period, warm -water enema should be taken daily to cleanse the bowels and all other measures adopted to eradicate constipation.
After a week of all fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet. Emphasis should be on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, and whole grain cereals, especially millet and brown rice. Further shorter periods on the all-fruits for three days, or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the condition of the skin improves. Strict attention to diet is essential for recovery. Starchy, protein and fatty foods, should be restricted. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods should all be avoided, as also soft drinks, candies, ice cream and products made with sugar and white flour.
Two vitamins, namely, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to treat acne. The vitamin therapy which may comprise a niacin, 100 mg. three times daily and vitamin A in large doses up to 1,50,000 units per day should not exceed one month. Vitamin E is also vitally important to prevent scarring from acne and in removing old scars.
Another effective remedy in the realm of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for acne is zinc. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Zinc should be taken in therapeutic doses of 50 mg three times a day. After noticeable improvement it can be gradually reduced.
Local Treatment: As regards local treatment, hot fomentation should be applied to open up the pores and squeeze the waste matter. Then rinse with cold water. Sun and air baths by exposing the whole body to sun and air are highly beneficial. The healing packs made of grated cucumber, oatmeal cooked in milk, and cooked, creamed carrots used externally, have been found to be effective. The orange peel is valuable in the treatment of acne. The peel, pounded well with water on a piece of stone, should be applied to the affected areas. The lemon has also proved beneficial in removing pimples and acne. It should be applied regularly.
A teaspoonful of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective home remedy for pimples and blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after thoroughly washing it, every night before retiring.
The juice of raw potatoes has also proved very valuable in clearing skin blemishes. This cleansing results from high content of potassium sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine in the potato. These elements are, however, of value only when the potato is raw as in this state they are composed of live organic atoms.
A hot Epsom-salt bath twice a week will be highly beneficial in all cases of acne. This bath is prepared by adding one and a half kg of Epsom salt to 50 litres of water having a temperature of about 100 degrees F. The patient should remain in the bath from 25-35 minutes till he perspires freely. After the bath the patient should cool off gradually.
Hope this helps, Good Luck.

after you shower rub baby oil in your beard and on your skin
make sure you rub it in real good ,you don`t want the greasy look
the baby oil will make your beard soft ...
Reply:Acne...Proactive actually works for most people. Eucerin Cream (comes in a tub) is best for dry skin...it's extremely thick so try to only use before bed. You can find this at any Drug Store, not that expensive. Try Vasaline Intensive Care if you can't get the other. If indeed the "rash" is dermititis try to avoid contact with the allergen.

Any non-drug treatments for dermatitis/adult acne? I have this annoying flaking in my beard and skin redness.
after you shower rub baby oil in your beard and on your skin
make sure you rub it in real good ,you don`t want the greasy look
the baby oil will make your beard soft ...
Reply:Acne...Proactive actually works for most people. Eucerin Cream (comes in a tub) is best for dry skin...it's extremely thick so try to only use before bed. You can find this at any Drug Store, not that expensive. Try Vasaline Intensive Care if you can't get the other. If indeed the "rash" is dermititis try to avoid contact with the allergen.

a great website for all ur skin problems n solutions...open the website n u`ll also see so many link for acne remedies and tips to get clear skin
Reply:Hi,
it's important to inform yourself first before buying the wrong solution. Products like e.g. accutane or proactiv (and those pills doctors prescribe) are aggressive and can cause damages to you and your skin since they contain harmful ingredients.
Your best bet would be to check out
http://usefulresources.info/natural-acne...
It's one of the very few guides out there which teaches how to really treat the acne problem at its roots from inside and out, no matter which kind of acne you have. Without damaging your skin, all natural.
I've literally wasted hundreds on other "miracles" but the tips and steps outlined in this one are highly efficient, bring results fast and that's what only counts for me.
Hope that helps.
All the best,
Melinda

How does one get rid of adult acne?
washing the face in the shower doesn't work, neither does using a facial cleanser like neutrogena, etc.

I mentioned this to someone else, but you can try using other products. I love all products by Philosophy. They have a wonderful product line from face cleanser, to liquid vitamins for your face, to hand creme, makeup, face masks (THE BEST) and more!
Also others have been successful w/ proactive though I am not a fan of trying it out, as it dries out your face.

Plain baking soda and water mask is by far the best you can do for acne prone skin. Mix a water and baking soda in a cup until the consistancy of a thinner paste. Pat on face (do not rub) and let sit till it hardens then rinse off. This has done miracles for my sensitive acne prone skin!! Plus it's all natural! Sometimes I add a few drops of tea tree oil too.Can use without tea tree oil.Can use as a spot treatment .Will reduce redness and you will barely notice the pimples.
RAW EGG
Crack egg whisk and apply to skin leave for 15 to 20 minutes.Smells and feels weird but you see iand feel it working after the first use.
Aloe Vera Plant
cut off a piece and squeeze the goopy gel inside and apply to skin.It lightens and fades scars while fighting and preventing acne.Apply before bed let dry[2-3 min tops]and sleep with it on soft glowing skin in the morning.
Moisture Mask
Mix 2 tablespoons honey with 2 teaspoons milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Boil a pot of water and removie it when it starts to steam and then put your face over it and keep it there for 10 minutes. Then wash your face. The steam will open your pores and then washing your face will get rid of bacteria and dirt.Best to apply mask right after then ice pores shut.
Big changes happen
Hope I helped
Reply:The best way is to drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods, and wash your face several times a day. One more thing is try not to squeeze the zits out. That can cause break-out and permanent scars.....
Reply:Mary Kay Timewise 3-in-1 cleanser %26amp; moisturizer (www.marykay.com) That is the ONLY product that helped me with mine. I am a landscaper and get so sweaty, filthy....
My face is 100% better since I started using this product in the mornings %26amp; evenings...2 steps, so it's easy.
Also, a greasy diet may contribute to the acne. Try not to eat as much greasy food. Drink LOTS of water...not carbonated drinks. (Acidic foods like Tomatoes may irritate the skin.)
I have learned to lower my stress/aggravation levels too. It can cause major break-outs, usually on my back %26amp; upper arms. I have to let things go %26amp; not worry about them.
Walking or any physical activity helps too.
Good luck=) Contact me if you have any questions.
Reply:have you tried proactive? it works wonders but use it for about 6 weeks, worked for me!!!
Reply:That is a new one...
It is bad enough for young kids

I'm looking for the best treatment before I pay for something that doesn't work.
What's the best treatment for adult acne?
The BEST thing I found is PROACTIV, it works great. Its a 3 step process, that you should do twice a day. But for me once my face cleared up, I use it once a day to prevent future breakouts.
Reply:Proactive!!! It works great. I have been using it for 2 yrs now. Good Luck! :)
Reply:You can find some good information on acne here http://hort.net/+1i5r also treatments and other stuff covered.
