Question:
how do u get rid of spots and blackheads???
what do u use for getting rid of spots and blackheads??? i mean i dont have acne or anything but my skin isnt exactly flawless :boohoo: every now and then i get the biggest spot ever and it would be in the most embarrasing place, like in between my eyebrows :lol: or like on the left side of my head where i dont wear my fringe! how annoying, or like on my chin grrr, so what do you use to get rid of spots??? oh and i have like blackheads on my cheeks sometimes. ive used so many products its a joke and still cant seem to find the right one, or maybe im impatient, please help!
ive tried freederm! quite pricey and it doesnt get rid of spots as fast as id like
ive tried panoxyl which is good it clears spots
i started using clearasil scrubs to prevent balckheads
i use to use witch blemish stuff but maybe im missing out on products that are better??? i want flawless skin people!! :mad: though i must confess- if a spot needs to be squeezed i do fall in the trap by squeezing it :o and blackheads too oh dear, any ideas what to do....
Avoid dairy and sugar and use No Protect & Perfect, along with Superdrug it E oil at night. I found NO 7 made my huge pores look tiny and I don't have as many blackheads anymore. Dairy can cause spots too (esp on your chin) so don't eat too much. And since I have started using the oil as well s the serum my skin is loads smoother and vibrant. My mineral make up stays on much better int he day and I actually look decent with no make up at all!
I would avoid using clearasil products as they can be too harsh.
To get rid of blackheads needs lots of patience :cmdunno: Cleansers and scrubs with salicylic acid/bha are very good. I find the Neutrogena body wash great for back acne.
Good products for exfoliating the face are Dermalogica microfoliant - this is brilliant, just be careful to use a small amount as it can be irritating.
Dr Haushka Cleansing cream is a natural alternative that I've heard is very effective.
Try to keep a gentle everyday routine. It's better to treat your skin as sensitive than abuse it with harsh products aimed at oily skin.
Make sure to avoid any pore clogging ingredients. Here's a good guide Comedogenic Ingredients
I found panoxyl aquagel the best for me as it didn't leave any white residue on the skin.
Make sure to thoroughly cleanse away makeup every night :rolleyes: annoying but necessary.
I find cleansing with a hot muslin cloth the easiest and it gently exfoliates too. You can find muslin cloths in the baby section in Boots. I used to use Liz Earle cleansing cream which I loved but I've moved on to more natural products. Still haven't found the perfect cleanser or moisturiser though :cmdunno:
I really like Neutrogena blackhead preventing scrub, it's great for removing them and also smoothes bumps I get due to too rich products.
When it comes to spots, I've heard great things about Sudocreme, but since it's not available to me, I use Benoxyl peroxide (5%) which I find really good at drying out spots.
two things you NEED
paulas choice 2% bha - i use the body cream as prefer the texture and had a reaction to the lotion
dalacin t - works fantasticly oon reducing the big hard lumps and healing quickly scabs etc
then use gentle lotion cleansers and gentle creams, ideally with rose in as rose reduces redness and is also soothing and restoring to the skin!
