GOT DAMMIT



I got acne i admit..

the after wards of puttin lotion on it

purple blemish marks. How DO I GET RID OF THEM!!??

Pimple marks or not, you're still cute.

I see a lot of ads for that Pro-Active Acne Treatment stuff, but have not used it myself. It's supposed to do a real good job clearing up acne, but I'm not sure how expensive it is.

I found any acne problems I had disappeared once I started adhering to the "8 glasses of water a day" rule.

Whether that really worked or it was just a coincidence is beyond me, but I figure it's worth a shot.

It scaring from acne...it won't go away totally....I have the same problem. Just be careful what you put on your face. I can only use MAC makeup...its the only thing that will not break my face out. Also if you must go see your doctor they can give your prescription only face wash and cream that will not do more damage to your skin. My doctor gives me a benza clean face wash and a cream. I also take a oral antibiotic that kills the bacteria in your system that causes acne.

Emu oil

I heard that ProActiv shit fucks you up. The way it's designed is so that if you stop using it after your shit clears up, then you break out worse than before. So you have to keep ordering the shit to keep your face clear. And oh yeah, water works wonders.

EMU OIL
Emu oil is a complex and primitive oil that is non-toxic, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory. It is a greaseless, odorless oil that is an excellent moisturizer and emollient, soothing and softening the skin. Long known for it's healing and penetrating properties, Emu oil is well suited for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Emu oil has a very high purity composition, so much so that when compared to other industry oil samples the Emu oil almost masked the curve. This pure nature of Emu oil is extremely important in the quality control of cosmetic products that require low irritability factors. Because of the primitive nature of the oil there is ongoing university and private research currently underway to fully determine the oil's benefits and applications. The following quote is from Mark Potter, a chemist at Atlantis Laboratories; "There are good reasons on why it (Emu oil) heals so well, and it's because of the chemistry of the oil. There are things in the oil that the skin needs to help heal itself. And those elements are right there present in the oil, and they can actually penetrate very well. That's the reason. It's actually what the skin wants and needs."

For thousands of years the Aborigines have used the oil in the treatment of muscle aches, sore joints, inflammation, and swelling. Today the oil can and will be found in places from the family medicine cabinet to the sports training room.

Emu oil is known to help build healthy skin and when used on burns Emu oil has been known to help to rebuild the tissue beneath the burned skin, restore elasticity, reduce scarring, and speed recovery.

Emu oil and the Emu-related analgesic cremes are used for the relief of muscle aches, pain, and strains resulting from sports or general over activity. For example, more than 85% of the N.B.A. trainers use some type of Emu oil or Emu oil product in the treatment of their players' sore joints and muscles. Likewise a number of the N.F.L. trainers now use Emu oil or Emu oil products for the same injury related problems.

Emu oil has also been found to be very effective on arthritis by reducing the swelling in the joints and by alleviating the pain common with arthritis.

Emu oil is being used as a moisturizer for dry skin and to speed up the replacement of exfoliated skin cells for that smoother and more youthful complexion. Again, a quote from Mark Potter, chemist at Atlantis Laboratories: "What makes Emu oil so unique is that it contains many, many beneficial things for the skin, yet doesn't have the negative aspects that other oils may have…It's even a lot better than people realize."

The list of the uses for Emu oil goes on and on and with each new day more and more exciting discoveries for the use of the oil from the "Timeless Emu" are being discovered.

Be gentle with your skin. A lot of people will use tons of products to get rid of pimples, acne, and other skin imperfections. Too much product will sometimes only aggravates a problem.
Also, too mnay people wash the face too much or too harshly. For example, if you wash you face before you go to sleep, then you don't need to wash it in the morning - it doesn't get dirty when you sleep. A toner or cleansing water does fine then if you feel you have to wash it.
BTW, I used to work in the cosmetic industry - it's not novice advice.
Can you go to a dermatologist for your purple spots?

Could be flea bites, and I am not being funny here. Do you have any animals that might be having fleas?

aww hell nah

Just go to a qualified skin specialist and get a mild micro-dermibrasion done, that should definitely do the trick! It doesn't look major, so nothing to worry about.

Unfortunately, the only way to completely get rid of acne marks is to get laser resurfacing - it will remove the top layer of skin which carries the acne scars. Don't waste your money on over-the-counter aides that claim to remove old skin, etc., they don't work.

Anything else will, more than likely, damage your skin more or create more acne.

Try not to wash your face too much. Don't use a lot of product on your face. Twice a week use a deep cleansing pore treatment, preferably a peel off mask or a mud mask with avocado in it. Clean, clean, clean your pillow cases often!

If you work where the temperature goes from warm to cold often throughout the day this will create oil buildup which will then bring about a breakout... immediately cleanse your face when you get home with mild soap and water. Use Witch Hazel or some other astringent to cleanse the pores, but again, don't over-do the products as it will only mess with your body and create more acne!

Acne is not caused by what you eat but caused by your body and how it reacts to its environment as well as your hormones. Never, ever, EVER, pick at them. This is what will create the scars. Leave them be. Paste type toothpaste applied in the evening will dry them up and is mild enough to not mess with your body chemistry. Do not use gel type as it won't do anything but waste your toothpaste. Fresh lemon juice applied in the evening will bring the oil to a head, but let your body release it... again, do not "pop" it!

If you can't afford to do the resurfacing of your skin, let them be. As time goes on they will fade a bit. Just watch what you do with those that come on from here on out to prevent more scaring.

I apologize for carrying on but caring for our skin has been in my family for years and except for my brother we've all been without acne. My brother finally relented and got rid of the products and stopped the squeezing and he's not had any further problems. The toughest crowd to convince to not by the products is my girlfriends... who still have acne.

Mild soap and water, clean pillow cases and a good astringent. You're as good as gold.

no no no

two words:
Black Opal.


To be more precise: Advanced Dual Complex Fade Gel by black opal
put it on the spot every night
it's gone in 2 weeks

it worked 4 me

Mazurack said:

WOW that is good, thank you. I been tryin to apply that brown oatmeal stuff for right now...its aiight but I dont know...Im gonna keep on drinkin water and keep on going

I say a fade cream of some sort. I don't break out often but when I do it's BAD - it'll be one huge pimple to make up for all the ones I don't have on a regular & they do leave marks, but after a few weeks they're gone

& I'm finding that the ProActiv comments are true. Even when my skin is clear I have to start remembering to use it once a week or so just to keep up. The shit is too strong for me though, but wtf do I do now that I'm on it?
