Face breakouts


Question Posted Saturday February 4 2006, 12:26 pm

Hey im 15/f and i was wondering if there were any face products that actually worked on fighting zits and pimples. I tried almost everything! But it either makes my face dry or gives me more zits and doesn't work. I pop them when they come but they become a horrible problem.. so it there any products that i could use that work and wont dry out your face? And another thing is, i know that some foods will make you break out or do something to your face. What foods are thoughs? Thanks a bunch i rate high!

Well with the foods it just depends. With me food doesn't make me break out stress does. The 2 products i use that really work is nutrigina and proactive. I hope that helps you

whatever you do, DONT pop them! thats the worst thing you can do and it takes FOREVER to get them to go away. any greasy foods will make you break out, or too much chocolate. also, if you use clearasil ultra or any kind of face scub by clean and clear you should be fine

Teen years bring zits and pimples, it's a hormonal thing at your age. However, you can do some things to help control break outs.
Pores get clogged and your face produces excess oil, causing your face to break out. Cleanliness and light makeup are the key.
Here is my routine:
I use Johnson&Johnson Clean & Clear Oil Free, Daily Pore Cleanser at night. It is a fine scrub that opens pores and cleans gently. Rinse well with warm, not hot water, to remove the granules. I am careful to wash along and under my jaw line where large lumps of acne can appear. Then I use an astringent to close pores afterward. I follow with an oil free moisturizer because if you do not keep skin moisturized the face will produce more oil to combat the dry skin....this can cause pimples. I dab on a small amount of acne gel or cream to troubled spots for overnight action. In the morning, I wash my face with a gentle cleaner like Neutragena bar or liquid. Then I use a light, oil free moisturizer again, before applying my makeup. I use an oil free, noncomodogenic makeup (one that doesn't clog pores.... just read the labels). When my skin gets oily later in the day, I use beauty blotters, special thin, oil absorbing tissues for blotting excess face oil. Do not rub, blot gently. They are great for touching up without applying more makeup. Most of all, do not go to bed at night with makeup on your face or a dirty face. As soon as you know you are staying in for the night, wash your face and get it out of the way, otherwise, you'll fall asleep before you have had a chance to clean your skin. Clean skin is the best defense against acne.

You should consult a dermatologist with your breakout problem, if every product has not worked for you. Not every product on the market will work for everyone.

You can try Clearasil's "Icewash Cleansing Wash", which helps clear up present pimples, while preventing new ones from forming. Clearasil also has acne fighting cleansers and such that you could try out. I find that Neutrogena's products work and you can check this page out for their products: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). If your face tends to dry out, stay away from cleaners and moisturizers that are not oil-free.

As for foods, "just because foods are oily or fatty doesn't mean they cause acne. In fact, no scientific studies have ever shown that foods bring on breakouts. So as long as you are not allergic to high-fat foods like french fries, pizza or chocolate and they do not irritate your skin, go ahead and eat them in moderation. A well balanced diet is always advised to maintain good skin." - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I used to use neutrogena face wash and that works great but you will get dry skin so get the pore sealint they make and they will add moisturizer to your skin at night or when you skin gets dry and also helps against strong break outs. Also try and refrain from using to much OILY make up. Also I started to wash my face 6 times a day to get rid of all the oils on my face which also helped minimize my break outs. But do not bust your pimples for they leave scars and if you contiune to do that you will get oil build ups in your freshly popped pimple and it will just cause another one to protrude from your skin.

Hope this helped

Try Biore products i have really dry skin but i tend to get a few bad pimples on my forehead and biore doesnt dry out, it only gets rid of the pimples! Foods that tend to be bad for your face is chocolate, and jus bout all greasey foods! Foods that are really good for your skin is cantolope and salmon, both bring out the best in your skin. Good Luck!

hi! i use clearisel ultra products and an acne fighting moisturizer and it works well for me. The ultra product really does work on me and they have more products out on that line now like a scrub, gel, pads, and the traditional wash. Stay away from foods that are greasy, fried, or chocolaty(hard one, lol, i know) organic foods are good- those are the ones that don't add a bunch of preservatives and chemicals to make them shiny and what not. hope this helps! luv megz2009
