What kind of face wash should I use?

posted in Teens |

I never had much of a breakout problem in my teens. Now Im about to be 20 and am suddenly having a real problem with breakouts of course Im sure it has a lot to do with the increase in the amount of makeup that I wear. I wash my face morning and night but have not had much luck. I have tried facial wash and toner by Mario Badescu. This has not worked on me at all. A big problem I have when I use the heavy duty stuff like some facial cleansing cloths and on the spot acne treatment my dermatologist gave me is that my face gets so dried out but you can still ever so slightly see the acne lurking under the surface but whenever I use any moisturizing lotions including the one my dermatologist prescribed me with my face breaks out again. My nose and forehead are the main problem although here lately I have also been getting some on my back shoulder blades and chest. My nose is the only oily spot on my face.

I have looked into Proactive and Skin ID but have not purchased either. It seems like there are so many different facial washes out there that I dont know which to pick. Proactiv appealed to me because of the new body wash which I hoped would clear my chest and back. But I have heard mixed reviews on both products. I dont know whether to go for one of them or try a more generic brand.

You may have adult onset acne and unfortunately there is no real cure. Proactive and similar OTC washes have benzyl peroxide which will inflame sensitive skin and can bleach out things like your bedding and towels. Salicylic acid based products and ones containing sulfur are good for drying out pimples but dont use it on your entire face because it will cause extra drying. Find oilfree lotions and facial cleansers with natural products such as Wei East or Pur Minerals. This will help soothe your skin. See if your dermatologist can prescribe you an antibiotic lotion. This should help minimize acne. Sometimes birth control pills can help but I wouldnt go on them unless you need it for birth control too. In terms of makeup try Neutrogena or Almay for acneprone skin. If you like more expensive brands Clinique is pretty good.

I suffer acne for over 20 years since the age of 16.

I will recommend you a few cleansing products.

1 Cetaphil cleanser for oily skin. These is a very mild cleanser. It is specially design for acne prone skin. It will not clog pores. It can be use for very sensitive skin. It has very little ingredients. Therefore it doesnt irritate yoru existing pimples.

2 DHC deep cleansing oil. DO NOT LET THE word OIL scare u This stuff is made of pure olive oil. It has antiaging benefit healing property and super cleaning ability. This is not your ordinary oil. It is chemically design to pull out your existing dirt inside your pore. After a week you can actually see all the white sebum coming to the surface of your skin. In a month your pores will become clearer.

FINALLY

If you want to prevent acne you can do it 1 holistically by eating Natural healthy acne diet.

1 Holistic approach A carefully planned diet is require to clean and keep your body in optimal state. A healthy body boosts your immune system. Thereby keeping your body hormone in balance. As a result you will not break out with acne. You will not have to worry about acne scars. You will get glowing clear skin due to healthy diet.
