Good skin care?

I have spent over 30 dollars on skin care products that don't work. There is this severe acne treatment that doesn't work for me. What are some home remdies? I have oily to combination skin I think. How can you figure out what skin type you have? Also, how long do you leave it on and how many times a day and how long until it works? I have really bad skin. I need all the help I can get and please don't suggest store-bought things unless they work REALLY good and fast.

Good skin care?
You sound reallly frustrated--and I do understand. But you need to realize that there is no immediate fix for skin care--it will take some time and consistancy on your part--as well as using products that treat your problems. I don't really know of home remedies to speak of, but I do know that drinking plenty of water--which does not mean soda, coffee, tea, etc.-- and getting rest, and eating a variety of healthy food, and cutting down on fats and chocolates may help. Also, a big thing that causes trouble for your face is to always be touching it!





All that being said, I suggest you go to avon.com and type in your zip code to find an avon representative in your area who can offer you some help, suggestions and products that may work for you. (I sell avon as my part time job and know that the clearskin line has been very successful for my own teen children--when they use it consistantly. You will find that avon is less expensive than many items you see at walmart or department stores or even thopse advertised on tv. And if you get a good avon rep, she/he will really work with you to get this under control.





Good luck. And do be sure to give whatever products you choose the time and consistantcy needed to see improvement.

Reply:I used to have ur problem with acne. I have an advice, but it will take some time, but it really worked for me..


first..1-cut down on caffeine


2-don't eat chocolate, pepsi , or any salty food whatsoever


3-drink lots of water every day ( always keep a bottle beside u)


4- Don't use products made for the oily skin ( as they work on dehydrating the skin from its oils , consequently stimulating it secrete more oils)


5- Put sun block on ur skin ( sun makes acne too much worse),u can also put it if u stay infront of the computer or tv for a long time.


6- Try to exercise


7-never touch ur acne


8- Eat lots of fruits ( Oranges, bananas, apples, pine apples are best fruits skin)








I know it may sound all ' bla bla ' to you..but it's the best so far. Most of what I told were said to me by my doctor. Naturally it will take some time for results to appear, but it's worth it. Good luck
Reply:Artistry has really really good skin care that works wonders. All of their products are completely guarenteed to work or they will give you a full refund of your money with no questions asked. Their Balancing System is for people with combination to oily skin and it has done wonders from me. Honestly I mix their skin care systems. I use the Balancing face wash but the hydrating toner and moisturiser because they do allow you to customize which system you would like. Anyway since I started using Artistry my skin has looked so good and believe me I had bad acne. I will tell you that I do also use their soothing creme and their acne gel works great as well. For being a prestige brand of skin care they are not that pricey either. You can't buy their products in stores but you can get them at http://www.adrennan.qhealthbeauty.com I reccomend the Balancing System or their Acne system called Clear.now which is also a really good system. The balancing system is just a little more mild. Like I said they do have an acne spot treatment gel. I would just go to the website and read about all of them and just go from there. :)
Reply:Sounds like you aren't using the right products. I'm guessing from your question that you have acne. BeautiControl has skin care systems that are based on your age, and specialized systems for people with ance-prone skin or sensitive skin. Check them out at www.beautipage.com/malorifulgham%26gt;shop now!%26gt;skin care%26gt;daily skin care%26gt;your age OR shop now!%26gt;skin care%26gt;acne-prone care if you have problems with acne





Generally, you would use these products twice a day, except for the scrub which you use about once a week. Your facial skin takes approximately 30 days to regenerate itself. So, once you start using a skin care program REGULARLY, you should see the biggest difference in about a month. Keep in mind that your skin may get worse before it gets better because you are pulling all of the impurities out of the deeper layers of your skin and bringing them to the surface. But, once you've used it for a few days, you will definitely see an improvement.
Reply:I can definately understand your frustration. I had cystic acne from about the time I was 13 until adulthood. It is painful, sore and embarassing at times. If you are using a good acne treatment program, it should not matter if you have dry, oily or combination skin. It should be good enough that it self adjusts to your skin's needs. A good chemical free exfoliation masque is also good to use.





Vitamin C and Vitamin A are supposed to be good to clear up acne. Also salicylic acid is a great alternative to the drying effects of benzoyl peroxide. Make sure you drink a lot of water (but not so much that you slosh around!) and wash your face with a gentle, chemical-free cleanser.





This really helped me:

Reply:try to keep your skin less oily so wash your face at least 2 times a day and when your somewhere else just get a tissue to dab away the oil


i tried alot of home remedies and a few of them work slightly





this is what i do


mix salt in hot water (2 tablespoons for 1 cup of water)


get a cotton swab and soak it in the salt water for 30 seconds


after that wring it out a bit and just hold it to the white head


you can tell if it works when it starts to tingle ( the salt disinfects the white head)


after that ice the pimple down( the pimple will get smaller)


oh and some people say to put toothpaste on


it works for the first few days but it irritated my skin so I'm not sure about toothpaste


some home remedies don't work because it just irritates the pimples more





hope this helps
