sunshine works wonders.


i got a topical thing that was completely brootal. it made my skin peal of but in moderation it helped clear it up. plus she should give stuff time to work. there arent really alot of home things to do (ive had an on and off complexion for almost 7 years). ive found that the clinique regular facial cleansing routine did alot of good but you really have to stay on top of it.


good luck

I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.





I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.





You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





Well good luck and best wishes.
1) Tea tree oil, antibacterial/fungal oil that can fix almost any skin problem. Just add a few drops to each one and give it 1 night or two.





2)Obviously wash you face and keep it clean, don't pick because it will cause scars.





3)epsom salts. make a warm bath filled with 1 cup of epsom salt soak in it for as long as you can(45 minutes +). Epsom salts will actually draw the oil out of your pours(longer you soak the better). Then I recommend having a quick shower to rince of the oils that you removed and apply tea tee oil as well.





Do these three things and I couldn't see the acne lasting very long at all, maybe a week if its sever.





Good luck
Apply a paste made of nutmeg powder and raw milk on acne or pimples and wash it off after 20 minutes. Do it for about 10-15 days to see the difference. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
something that heard works really well is toothpaste, or tea bags after they have been used.


another thing that may help is using ance care products from the store in most stores there is a whole isle for that kind of stuff
tea tree oil works wonderfully for me.


you can get it at GNC
toothpaste
lemon juice and tea tree use them both daily
What is Accutane and how does it work?





Accutane (also known as Isotretinoin), or Roaccutane as is also known in parts of the world, was discovered in 1979 when it was first given to patients with severe acne, most of whom reacted with dramatic and permanent clearing of their acne symptoms. It is a vitamin A derivative (13-cis-retinoic acid) which is administered orally in pill form, normally for 15-20 weeks (3.5-4.5 months). It was originally prescribed for people with severe acne that did not respond to other treatments, but has gained in popularity in the past 25 years and is prescribed more and more frequently for less severe acne. Accutane is a serious medication which must be taken under close doctor's supervision. Blood tests are required and side effects can be as devastating as they are widespread.





Exactly how Accutane works on a cellular level is unknown, but we do know that it affects all of the four ways that acne develops.





1. It dramatically reduces the size of the skin's oil glands (35%-58%) and even more dramatically reduces the amount of oil the skin produces (around 80%).


2. Acne bacteria (P. Acnes) lives in skin oil. Since oil is so dramatically reduced, so is the amount of acne bacteria in the skin.


3. It also slows down how fast the skin produces skin cells inside the pore which helps pores from becoming clogged in the first place.


4. It displays anti-inflammatory properties.





Although acne may get worse within the first month on a cycle of Accutane, the ultimate results are usually dramatic. Accutane works to achieve complete or partial clearance of acne in about 95% of people who complete a cycle, regardless of whether they have inflammatory or non-inflammatory acne. The majority of people who take it see their acne effectively cured, experiencing long term remission of acne symptoms. Studies show an average relapse rate of 25%, and in these cases sometimes a second course is given. This relapse rate is dose dependent. Patients who receive a cumulative dose of 100-120mg/kg see the best results and lowest relapse rates. Patients who receive a lower dose relapse more frequently. Depending on how much the patient weighs, .5mg - 2mg/kg is usually prescribed per day.





Accutane need not be paired with other medications. For people who have problems handling Accutane, intermittent dosage is potentially an option and is being studied for effectiveness. Generic forms of Accutane may or may not be as therapeutic or safe. This is based on only one study which was performed in the UK in 2006. Out of the 14 generic brands studied, 13 failed to match Roaccutane (as it is called in the UK) in one or more tests and 11 failed in three or more tests. More studies like this one are needed to present better data on this subject.
