How to get a good, flawless, red/pore-free skin?

How do I get rid of acne caused by skin irritation?

  • I have always had relatively good skin. My skin type is normal to dry. Then about a few weeks ago I had a super dry patch of skin on the side of my face on my cheek, near my ear and eyebrows. Without thinking I rubbed the area, to remove the dead skin. I have noticed that although the dry skin is gone, a large cluster of acne has formed in the area. I'm assuming it's from the bacteria on my hand getting into my skin. Acne medicines do not work because they merely dry out my skin. How do I get rid of the acne without drying out my skin?

  • Answer:

    I've suffered with acne for 3 years now and I know that it's not all fun and games. I always look at how perfect someones skin is and how crappy mine is. What I suggest is make sure your skin is consantly moisturised. I've noticed that with my acne it is terrible when I have dry skin. Not only does it look awful it feels awful. I use champneys vitamiricle cream on my face. It says it's a body lotion but it's oil free and has tons of vitamins in that will make your skin feel amazing and look amazing. Don't use foundation. It will ruin your skin,it doesn't for some people but I know that's what started off my acne problem and I tried covering it with foundation which made it worse. Use a tinted moisturiser with SPF in it. If you don't want to buy one you could make up your own. Put in some oil free moisturiser and sunscreen. I use factor 50 so I know my skin is so protected. Then add some of your favourite foundation,but not too much. Just a little bit to give some colour to the mixture. Mix it all up and there you have it. I found that my spots get extremely irritated if I don't use sunscreen and they go all red and look so angry! I would advise washing your face with aqueous cream day and night. Aqueous cream has a natural ph balance in it and has no harsh chemicals in aswell as moisturising your skin at the same time. Get your face damp and rub it in in circular motions making sure you get all of your face. Dont leave it on just wash it straight off. Takes 1 minute so if your in a rush this is brilliant. I didn't start noticing result for about a week after I was using it but it costs like £2 for a cosmetics store or supermarket you can literally buy it anywhere. Finally I would say get your skin into a routine. You don't want to be putting so many products on that it irritates your skin and if you do make sure they are oil free and made from natural ingredients. With those above I've managed to clear up my acne in just over 2 weeks. Everyone is different and I'm not saying its gunna happen to you but it's worth ago as these are so simple and won't cost you a lot of money. my skin care routine: Morning: Aqueous cream(wash) Zineryt(the doctor perscripted this to me but it's run out now,I hardly used it anyway) Champneys vitamiricle moisturiser Sunscreen Let it all soak in Makeup- tinted moisturiser,body shop powder,mascara,blusher and bronzer. Evening: Aqueous cream wash Zineryt Boots teatree night treatment gel Champneys vitamiricle Sudocrem Vaseline on my lips and eyelashes Avon eye cream to reduced bags and dark circles Hope this helped x Ps my acne is pretty much gone now with that routine I have one or two spots still on my face an some red marks that are left on my face but I'm using lemon juice for that applying it directely to my face and have seen a difference after one day of using it!

To clear acne: Sometimes, people have dry skin which actually develops acne and pimples. This is quite rare, but it is not impossible. Some of the possible reasons are hormonal changes or disturbances, change in lifestyle, change in behavior patterns or irregular sleeping patterns which have led to a stressful life. Sometimes, acne also surfaces at an age much later than adolescence because of completely unrelated factors such as extreme indigestion. Only, this is not actually acne, it is probably heat boils. In order to determine why you have acne, you must first go for a complete health check up. This will reveal the causes quite easily. If possible, visit a dermatologist and get your skin checked out thoroughly. This will enable you to know why you are suffering from acne. aspirin mask [[I haven't tried it, but I keep on hearing how it works wonders]] To prevent acne: egg white mask [[I have tried this. It's suppose to tighten your pores and your skin. I did see a difference in my pores afterwards :) ]] To moisturize: egg yolk mask [[I have tried this too. It worked really well! A few hours after I used it, my skin looked a bit smoother ]] or an avocado&honey mask [[I've used this too. I really like this one! It really does moisturize well.]] I'll list the instructions for the face masks I have done, which are all of them except the aspirin mask. EGG WHITE MASK: Separate the egg white from the egg yolk. Beat the egg white really good [[you can use a fork]] until it becomes sort of liquidy and foamy. Squeeze a little bit of lemon into it and mix it again. Apply your face with your hands. Then, let it dry. Wash off 10-15 minutes after application or until dry. Don't worry if your face feels tight, it's just a sign to let you know that the mask is working! EGG YOLK MASK: Same process as the egg white mask EXCEPT "beating until foamy" [[you only need to mix the yolk until it become applicable]] and the lemon part. AVOCADO & HONEY MASK: Mash up the avocado really good until it becomes almost pasty. Then, add 1 tablespoon of honey or until you think it's enough [[you really can't go wrong with the amount of honey you put in there since too little or too much could never hurt]]. Mix them really well together. Then apply and leave on for 15 minutes and wash off :) But remember to use a fresh avocado.
