Treatment for your acne should be accompanied by a healthy skin care  routine.

1…Wash the affected area twice a day with mild soap. Use soap such as Dove, or  one that contains benzoyl peroxide, such as Oxy-5. Wash as often necessary to  keep the area clean. Do not scrub.

2…Shampoo the hair regularly.

3…Keep long hair off the face and shoulders and wash it daily.

4…Avoid shaving as much as possible; while shaving take care to avoid nicking  the pimples.

5…Use a fresh shaving blade to minimize the chance of spreading the  infection.

6…Avoid use of make-up or cosmetics in areas prone to acne. If you have to wear  make-up, use only the hypoallergenic or fragrance free kind.

7…Don’t pop, pick, scratch, or squeeze your pimples. This may cause infection  and scarring.

8…You may use an over-the-counter treatment that contain substances such as  benzoyl peroxide (gel or cream) or salicyclic acid. Start with the lowest  strength and apply once a day about half an hour after washing. Never use more  than 5 percent strength without consulting a physician.

9…Food and Nutrition Recommendations for Acne:

Some doctors  believe that acne is not a food related problem. Some alternate practitioners  use diet as a basis for their treatment of acne. They recommend that acne  patients should eat foods high in beta-carotene, such as carrots, pumpkin,  cantaloupe and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables. They should also avoid  fatty foods. Acnezine controls the oil secretion in your body to  protect your skin from getting acne prone.

10…Vitamin Therapy for Acne:

Nutritionists generally  suggest:Chromium supplements – Chromium helps boosts the body’s ability to  break down glucose.Vitamin A – reduces sebum and keratin production.  (Caution: taking mega doses of Vitamin A can cause headaches, fatigue, muscle  and joint pain and other side effects. Consult a qualified practitioner before  taking mega supplements).Vitamin E – an antioxidant (200 to 400 IU a  day).Vitamin B-6 50 mg per day. This vitamin aids in the metabolism of  hormones and supports the function of Acnezine as well.

Note: People should not try to medicate themselves or others  with any of the methods referred to here without the guidance of a qualified  practitioner who is thoroughly familiar with both the remedies and the  individual’s medical status.

Hello, I brought Burt’s Bees acne solutions today. I was wondering can you use it only once daily? Because on the back it says use 2-3 times per week. so i wanted to know if when you wash your face 2-3 times a week can you only use it once that day. (like just in the morning or something).

* Wash your face twice a day (thrice at most) with gentle and unperfumed cleanser. Avoid using soaps as they contain harsh chemicals and ingredients that can damage your skin.

* Avoid touching your face. Stop putting your hands by your face! I am often guilty of this resting my hand on the side of my head while reading. Also rubbing or bracing your chin is another common problem when thinking. Avoid rubbing, touching, or itching your skin with your hands. Your hands contain a lot of bacteria that can cause acne flare-ups. It is probably one of the most difficult things to avoid since much of the hand to face contact throughout the day we are unconscious of. Make it a habit to avoid hand contact and be conscious of it during the day to avoid bacteria.

* Avoid the temptation to pick, prick and squeeze your acne. This will send the infection deeper into the skin and can cause severe scarring.

* For mild to moderate acne, you can use over- the- counter topical ointments, solutions, lotions or gels that contain salicylic acid or azelaic acid as an alternative to benzoyl peroxide. Resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulfur help break down blackheads and whiteheads. Salicylic acid also helps cut down the shedding of cells lining the follicles of the oil glands.

* Topical antibiotic solutions and lotions can also be applied.

* Tea tree oil is a natural antibiotic and antibacterial agent and has a drying effect on the skin. It keeps the P. Acnes bacteria at bay along with decreasing facial oiliness, which makes this oil a worthwhile investment.

* Sulfur helps to heal existing blemishes by unblocking pores.

* Alpha or Beta Hydroxy Acids (AHA or BHA) works by keeping the skin exfoliated. Glycolic acid, the most well-known of the bunch is a useful adjuvant therapy for mild acne. Mandelic acid, a lesser known one, but one that combines the keratolytic properties of glycolic acid with natural antibacterial properties that help reduce the presence of P. acnes, may be considered a more effective alpha hydroxy acid in treating acne lesions. It is also much less irritating than glycolic acid, a factor that may be very important to those with sensitive skin who are unable to use other agents such as Retin-A, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, or salicylic acid. It is effective in treating mild cases of acne on its own, and can be used successfully with other therapies on moderate acne.

These treatments are usually effective for mild to moderate acne problems only.

i use oxy 5 (the spot stuff) but i need a cleanser is it a good idea to use Clean and Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser with oxy 5? because i think that would be too much benzoyl peroxide if not are there any good other acne cleansers?

1) Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes and wash.
2) Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary.
3) Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball and wash it after haif an hour for 15 to 20 days.

I have this pump bottle of Neutrogena Acne Wash. I haven’t used it in like 4 months. Is it still good to use? And in general, can acne treatment creams expire?

Of course, they do. Every drug has an expiry date. Why don’t you look at the crimp. It should be there. And rather than trying OTC treatment, why don’t you go natural? I can only say this. Avoid food that is too spicy and oily. So, no french fries!!! And make it a point to change your pillow cover on a regular basis. And keep your towel clean. Use some disinfectant like Savlon while washing it. Use a good facewash suitable for your skin type and preferably a good astringent. Eat a lot of green veggies. The importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables can never be overstated. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Cut down your intake of coffee and dairy products. Eat food that is rich in fiber, so that your bowel movements are regular. Eating a few bananas should help. Sleep on time. Have patience. You should see improvement in a few days. Wish you luck.

I am thinking about getting a zeno, but there are a few choices. I have acne that isn’t severe or mild, but it’s closer to severe. I don’t want to pick the wrong product, I want the best one, I wanted to know if anyone could help me out and tell me which is the best choice and most effective. Thanks.

i think you should go to a dermatologist. I had bad acne, and they gave me a pill called doxycycline, and a opical cream called duac, if its severe you can try acutane, but it has a lot of side effects and you have to be closely monitored. but try not touching your face, use oil free and fregrance free lotion, wash with dove soap, wash your make up off, use hypo allerggenic products and dont touch your face during the day, i would say dont waste your money on these systems.
good luck
