Unwanted Dirt...

Dirt is a major culprit in skin imperfections... & I mean major....

You maybe suffering from unclean skin if....

1) You don't wash your face
2) You don't wash your make up brushes/sponges
3) You don't change your pillow cases

you get the idea...

Besides OIL & Dead SKIN, Dirt is pretty much up there,


One needs to keep their skin clean at all times,

that means NO touching the face,
NO popping zits
NO sharing brushes/sponges
NOT going to sleep with make up on
Cleansing twice a day
Not using the makeup from the tubes/bottles & what not in retail places


I think that pretty much covers it, I know it may seem like common sense, but it isn't to everyone, and a lot of people can cure their skin just by following these rules, Good Luck

Proactiv

Today's post will be on Proactiv,

Everyone and their mother's know of Proactiv, Its been done to death in TV Commercials, Magazine Ads and even Mall Kiosks...

Proactiv is EVERYWHERE, which isn't an altogther BAD thing...

If Proactiv works for you, then you don't need to be on this blog...
If Proactiv works, you are very lucky, It didn't do diddly squat for me... Unfortunantly.

So let me get into Proactiv for a bit...


Proactiv is a 3 step skin care soluton created by 2 dermatologists, who are supposdly, renowned, amazing dermatologists, or whatever... It can be ordered online, Via Commercial or purchased at the mall...

Its 3 Steps... Like any normal skincare line,

1) Wash
2) Tone
3) Repair

These Three items can be ordered for $19.99 if you watch tv, your bound to get the number,


But what they like to do is add an extra product to this trio, Whether its the Green Tea Moisturizer, The Dark Spot Corrector, The Body Bar for Body Acne or the famous Refining Mask, which is supposed to magically Zap zits... In one night or 2...


OKAY.

So I tried the regular 3 products and the refining mask, and NOTHING, BUT, I know many people it works magic on, SO, just because it didn't work on ME, doesn't mean you shouldn't attempt it...


Do the 3 step system for at least a month, thats how long skin needs to renew itself, thats when you'll start seeing results, using the Wash, Toner & Acne Med...


Now all of these products are DRYING, thats how they treat your skin, they dry it out, because OIL is the acne culprit, These products contain BENZOYL PEROXIDE which is a good acne agent...


But here is the UGLY...

If PROACTIV does work on you, then, once you stop it, your acne will comeback, its a permanant thing, and your skin will be suceptible to sun damage, you need to ALWAYS wear sunscreen, the sun is also what makes acne marks darker so in a way it DOES help you...


So YEAH...

Proactiv DID not help me, but it helps MANY people, it is one of the best Acne Treatments on the Market as of now, and I think you should try it, and if it works for you then BEAUTIFUL...!

TRY It & Let me know, Remember you need to stick with it MORNING & NIGHT for at least ONE MONTH to see a difference, Let me know if Proactiv helped you, If NOT then don't worry there are more POSTS on the way.


HAPPY HEALING!

Acne Treatment 1: Dieting

So let me start off with dieting, which is one of the first treatments one should try because, in this day and age, the way we eat, esspecially us Americans, can most definetly cause acne.

Junk food isn't only bad for your health, it is also bad for your skin, all the fats and oils can affect your skin, which is your largest organ.

To take care if your body, and skin, cut out as much junk food as possible, that means, oils, fats, sugars, and drink lots and lots of water.

The drinking a lot of water by itself, so rehydrate your skin and balance it out a bit, together with dieting it can be a good Acne fighting Duo.

For me personally, it didn't work, it helped a bit, but it didnt work for me because I have hormonal acne. It does help though, for mind, body and skin. Definetly try it, it is the easiest way to clear your skin and be healthy, opposed to other treatment options which are ridiculous ( You'll see what I'm talking about!)

So try this out & Let me know how it works, and I don't mean for a day, or a week, Your skin regenerates itself every 30-33 days, so wait a month, sticking to your diet and after a months time see if you still break out as much.

I recommend jotting down the amount of breakouts you spot, and see if it decreases overtime.

Good luck, definetly tell me if it works out for you.

Acne & My Life

Hello everyone,

I made this blog to bring awareness to many treatments of acne, which I qualify as a disease (because I suffer from it).

I started breaking out upon entering High School, slowly it would get worse and worse, till a couple years ago where it was just ridiculous, I am 22 now, My face still has the battle scars visible, which I am treating, slowly but surely,

I have tried everything from, topical solutions, drugstore and perscription, even onces that cost $180 a piece..., Proactiv, Clinique 3 Step System, Birth Control Pills, Antibiotics, Different Skin Regimens, I have tried EVERYTHING and only a few things worked.

I'm here to share my journey with you, to help you find treatment, because Acne, for someone who actually has it, an extremely serious thing, It destroys confidence, is bothersome, ruins appearence and also shows that your lifestyle isn't working for your skin.

My acne made me cry, still makes me cry, even though I have it under control, more or less.

So heres to clear skin!

Please stay tuned to more posts & lets kick Acnes butt!
