Help with blackheads

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Lisa,

Aaack! Stop! I did that and now I have lovely scars. I know it’s hard not
to but believe me, its worse in the long run. Have you tried Biore Strips?
They are those paper strips you put on your face that "rips" out the
blackheads. They work better on the nose than the chin, though. When I was
young I used to squeeze the pores on my nose all the time and now I have
HUGE pores. Don’t mess with it unless it’s a big whitehead.

new to group - have a great product

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Hi, I live in Australia, and have found an excellent product or
should I say products to reduce acne in only a couple of weeks and
make pores appear smaller. It is called Alpha H which is an
Australian company. I first tried it out in January of 2004 ( and
love it) buying the alpha h acne teen kit - and I am not a
teenager! Here is the rundown from the site i got it from
www.adorebeauty.com.au

1. TRIPLE ACTION CLEANSER
A light liquid cleanser for combination skin that gently removes
face / eye make-up and pH balances the skin. Contains an
antibacterial agent that assists in retarding the further spread of
bacteria on the skin’s surface.
2. BALANCING MOISTURISER
This unique moisturiser is a light, non-greasy lotion containing 10%

My Holistic Approach

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Hey Beauties,

I find that when I follow a holistic approach to caring for my skin,
as well as a simple cleansing regimen, my skin stays clear and I feel
good overall- mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Here is my routine:

1)Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, grains, beans,
and occasionally animal protein. I avoid sweets, white flour, dairy,
and junk foods.

2)Drink lots of purified water daily

3)Take one tablespoon of healthy oil twice a day- I like Udo’s Choice
(available at health food stores), but any supplemental flax oil,

Help with blackheads

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Hi,

I have conquered all the zits I used to get and at first glance, I have really
clear skin. But, there are blackheads in my nose, on my chin and just above my
nose on my forehead (my T zone). I have tried absolutely everything there is to
try if it is available over the counter at any store within 50 miles of my
house. Still they are there. I have become obsessed with them lately. My husband
thinks it’s like some sort of compulsion. I will spend literally hours a night
in the bathroom squeezing and picking my face. I get lots of them out
everynight, but it isn’t really doing me any good. If squeezing and picking did
any good, I would be free of them by now. The only thing I accomplish by doing
this is making the skin on my nose peel and the skin on my chin feel sore and
irritated. I am going to totally ruin myself if I don’t find some sane way to
get them out of my face. I can’t get anyone in my family to really think it’s a
big deal, they all say they can’t even see them. But believe me, they are there.

Birth control or ProActiv

Monday, February 20th, 2006

Hi all,

I wrote a while back stating that I’d give a little update on my acne
once I started taking birth control pills. I started them two and a
half weeks ago (Dec. 19), and I hadn’t really noticed a difference
until a couple of days ago. My arms and chest have improved greatly.
I’m not sure about my back; I haven’t ever really studied it to
compare before-and-after. My face looks better, too; however, that may
be because of the 30-day supply of ProActiv my mom bought for me for
Christmas. I started it on December 23, and after just two
applications, my face was a LOT smoother. Last week, I noticed that
the redness in my cheeks and forehead had disappeared (still good, too).
The improvement in my arms, chest, and possibly back have to be the
pill because I don’t use ProActiv there, and it doesn’t really travel
like that. Fewer pimples on my face could also be the pill, but

Have you tried plucking them? I have one thick black hair hat grows out of
my neck so I just pluck it. Pluck it the way it grows and then you’ll get
the root out. If you get the root out it takes awhile to grow back.

I have about 3 hairs that grow on my chin and have tried the facial hair
remover cream from Avon but it doesnt work well for me so I’d like to hear
any and all suggestions to rid myself of this problem.

What is the fiber content of this pill?

I think all of your advice was wonderful. Especially your advice about
eating mainly vegetables. We need 9-11 servings per day, and barely anyone
gets
that, so thats why this product is so great! This "pill" will help with
acne,
because it contains 17 fruits and vegetables that have been juiced, had the
sugar removed, and slowly dehydrated to preserve the nutrients.

Please email me if you have any questions…
