i diffidently recommend to keep your hair off your face. It helps a lot.
If you dont like going out without foundation on then if your at home for the weekend or just hanging out with your family, leave the foundation off. Its good to give your skin a break.
Hope this helps:)
I had the same problem, honestly if you can go to a doctor do! Theyve prescribed every medication and gel under the sun but recently the one thats worked well is a gel called Duac once every day daily and it cleared my acne up really well
Hey Brittany! I came across your discussion and I couldn't help but make a post! For the past 3 or 4 years I had suffered from terrible acne, I'm probably over exaggerating but it was pretty bad. Today I have the skin I've always wanted and barely get a single break out. I've developed a sort of skin plan that I'll walk you through quickly.
Mornings:
Before you apply your makeup splash your face with cold water then dry. Do this 3 times. It will close your pores so they won't get clogged by the makeup and it will also help wake you up! I usually use a toner after this as well. Before I apply my make up however, I apply 3 layers of Aveno cream to hydrate my face. I wait for each layer to dry before applying another.
Nights:
I use dead sea acne clear face wash and I absolutely recommend it 100%. It really does help clear my face and it smells really nice! Anyway, after taking your makeup off and washing (any wash with beads will do as well, like morning burst) (also make sure you wash with warm water to open up your pores) I will sometimes also put on my dead sea face mask which really helps get any junk out of my pores, which will cause a break out or two but it is so worth it. If not I use the dead sea Night moisturizer cream. Every other night I will take rubbing alcohol and put it on a face wipe and rub it into my skin, it helps fight infection! I then use ozonol on any imperfections or breakouts I may have or feel coming on, I don't rub it in.
Also, if you eat junk, you will break out. You have to make sure to drink a lot of water and eat well. Since becoming a vegetarian even, I've noticed a difference. You can also take multi vitamins and zink! I recommend going to see a dermatologist about your skin as well as everyone's is different. Another thing, when buying any face products make sure there is no oil in it! This will make you break out for sure! Try going for mineralized makeup.
If you are staying at a friend's or are out late and don't want to wash your face try OXY pads. It will dry any imperfections that may come up over night but I don't recommend it for everyday use as it will make you skin dry. I hope this helped!
If you don't have the cash, a natural remedy I'm currently using is Sea Salt and water. The sea salt draws out the impurities in the bumps on your face to reveal clearer skin. Have you ever went to the beach for a few days and realized your skin looked smoother? If not definitely try it because it has worked for me. Warm water in a bowl in the microwave until its warm to the touch. Add 3 teaspoons of sea salt and mix it completely. Get a washcloth and put it in the water. Place it on your face minimum 5 mins but you can put it on for longer. I keep it on for 15 mins. Wash your face off, and apply a generous amount of your favorite moisturizer because your face will get very dry. Before you put the salt water solution on your face make sure your face is clean and makeup is removed. Good Luck, I hope it works. :)
