Answer 1

take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin.. pro active dried my skin out, but aspirin didn't.. it's a lot cheaper also..



oh.. and pro active contains benzoil peroxide.. whereas aspirin contains salicylic acid ..



honey alone as a mask works very well also.. leave it on for twenty minutes..



another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..



only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..



warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..



and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or cause break outs.. i recommend bare minerals..



and get a good toner and moisturizer.. i use the garnier nutritioniste moisturizer.. and lemon juice is a good toner..



drink lots of water.. eat healthy.. and take vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins..



hope this helps..

Scientifically-proven fact: acne problem is a result of genetic predisposition, not from eating fatty foods, such as chips, or chocolate. There is no way of knowing at what age your pimples will stop, as everybody's hormone levels fluctuates differently. Some women might not have had much pimples during teen years but after they deliver a baby, their hormones go crazy and start having bad acne problems. Stress does increase pimples in that you don't have the time/energy to maintain a rigorous facial-cleansing routine. Try these steps:



1. Wash your face 2-3 times a day. Follow up with acne treatment creams.

2. DO NOT touch your face to your hands, the telephone receiver, desk/table, dirty blankets and pillow cases. This spreads the oil and causes even more pimples.

3. Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%, 5%, or 10%) is the most effective antibacterial acne-treatment cream available without a prescription, because it is capable of penetrating the hair follicles in your pores to reach the bacterias that are causing the problem. Walmart even has generic brands for $3 or less. If 10% strength burns your skin, making it peel and flake, either apply only once a day or go down to a lower %.

4. Salicylic Acid is a Beta-Hydroxy (BHA) exfolliant that effectively fights blackheads. But if you're sensitive to that, too, use gentle cleansers and save the acne treatment for after washing your face.

5. At least once a week, steam your face under a towel with a large bowl of hot water. This helps open up all of your pores. Then use clay mask to "squeeze" out any remaining blackheads/whiteheads. After rinse-off, put on Biore Strips to pull everything out.



Loma Lux Acne Pill ($20-$22 per bottle of 100 tablets) clears pimples in as little as 48 hours, depending how bad your pimples are. Follow the bottle's directions per your weight. It is available at your local pharmacy, either behind the counter, or you can ask them to order it for you.



If that still doesn't work for you, then go see a doctor for prescriptions. If you do use prescription retinoids, such as Retin-A, Renova, Tazorac, Avita, Differin, or generic tretinoin, DO NOT combine with Benzoyl Peroxide, because the Benzoyl Peroxide will inactivate (or "cancel out") the retinoids.



Good luck.

It is way normal to have a lot of pimples at your age, so don't stress so much about it. Eating can help but you need to clean your face twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I use the Clinique skin care line, it works really well, and they have a special line that is just for a lot of acne (it is better than Proactive). At night you should sleep with your hair in a ponytail to keep the oils from your hair off of you face. Try to relax and not be so stressed about school, take a nice hot bubble-bath to help you relax. You need to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night so you are doing just fine with that. For some people pimples never stop, but for others they stop at about age 20-25. It is different for every person. Don't take the pill unless nothing is working. If you do take it, make sure that you also take a vitamin E pill to bring moisture back into your skin; the pill will dry your skin out.



I hope this helped!

Answer 4

Okay first off...hopefully HMK means homework because if it does, PLEASE don't stress about it! Stressing causes alot more than just pimples, it causes ulcers too! Okay now that I've said this please listen up:



1.) Wash your face ever night with a wet towel and do the same ever morning. I've come to the conclusion that all those acne washes DON'T WORK! They make your skin dry and rip apart skin pores! (Happened to me!)



2.) DON'T TAKE PIMPLE PILLS! Pills should be used when you are sick -- this we can fix in no time.



3.) Pimples have nothing to do with sleep from what I heard, but it could just be causing more stress staying up so late. The body does get stressed when it is not happy (or when it is tired)!



4.) Pimples will never go away! There here to stay!





MOST IMPORTANT: Stay come, cool, and collective! Those pimples will go away if you believe they will go away!





--->If kids make fun of your pimples, say "I am so sorry for you, (name here)." They will be like why (and you are probably asking why as well!) Then say, "I'm sorry for you because all you know how to do is be mean."

Answer 5

At 15 your pimples are probably mostly due to hormones but stress definitely exacerbates the problem. My suggestion would be to make an appointment for a facial with an esthetician from a good quality day spa and get them to help you with good advice and products for your skin type.



As to what age pimples go away depends on each individual person and can last until adulthood. You need someone to teach you about your own skin type and what you need to do to keep it healthy. An esthetician can help you with your skin problems. Don't go straight for pills or harsh products before trying some simple cleansing techniques first.

Answer 6

At your age there may not be a lot you can do to stop it, hormones will play a big part with girls and breakout. If it around your mouth and chin you might notice that it's around 'that time of the month". Try putting a little honey on the pimple and cover it with a band-aid before you go to bed. Honey is anti-microbial and will help to kill the bacteria that is causing the breakout. Doctors have used it to heal injuries since the ancient Egyptian times. Oh and eating fried food and chocolate won't beak out out unless you are allergic to it or touch your face and get oil on it that can clog your pores!

Answer 7

AcneFree works really well. I think it's any junk food that can cause them, but i'[m not saying to cut of from it completely. Stress often does play a big part in pimples, so don't stress yourself out so much! Good Luck!
