Question Posted Wednesday November 18 2009, 5:39 pm
i'm 15 years old/female.
and i have terrible breakouts.
i have post-marks from them too..
i know that teens are supposed to break out a little bit,it's part of puberty, but i want to keep it under control.
here's my current skin routine:
i only was my face once a day, night time, and it's in the shower. i use avons professional skin care face cleanser.
after that i use the lotion, ( i'm currently out of the toner pads that come with the set) and then i use the Neutrogena spot treatment.it says that it will visably reduce the sign of acne and post-acne marks in 8 hours. it dosent really seem to work though..but i read that it may take three weeks.
i used to have REALLY bad acne, i would have three or four on each side of my face, on my fourhead, my chin, and some on my nose. and they would be HUGE. and they would HURT. baddd.
i would get heachaches from them. and when i went over them with makeup, they would just hurt even more.
so after that, i started using proactiv, but i got imune to it, i guess. haha.
i've been trying to clear my breakouts up again, but it dosent really seem to be working.
i heard that if you wash with warm water, adn rinse with cold water, then that helps alot.
and would it help if i boiled hot water, let my face over it, and the steam would like clean out my poors though?
if anyone has any suggestions, or tips, they would be greatly appreciated. (:

Mixing them can make your skin worse. It sounds to me like you have a pretty good skin care routine though, so if your face is still giving you problems you should consider visiting a dermatologist. They will be able to customize a skin care regimen just for you, and they may put you on birth control to regulate your hormones.
