Acne Tips

hello everyone, I was hoping someone could help with some advice,
preferably the cheapest way to get rid of dark spots and scars from
acne, is there anything I can use to make them seem smaller or perhaps
get rid of them completely, My skin looks so horrible due to the spots
acne left and also its uneven big time, the coloration is just very
blothchy and looks terrible lol, sorry but I hate dealing with my oily
skin, and lately I haven’t been washing with any cleansers and my skin
seems to break out less because of it..
any remedies or tips guys???
thank you!!

Good Morning,

In addition to what is on the inside we do have to think about what we use
to clean our skin. Often times the products that we use can contain harmful
chemicals and ingredients and preservatives that do more harm than good.

I am a vegetarian in training (I still eat fish) and I have learned so
much about the different things that we eat and put into our bodies. Sugar,
for example is one that in it’s refined state does more harm than good
(darn!) ;-D Sugar in it’s raw form actually has minerals that our bodies
need, YES!
As I learn more, one thing that I have done in my nutritional habits is to
eat more veggies and fruits that are grown locally. They are "fresh from
the garden" and when I purchase them in my own local farmers market, I get

thank you bec! i seriously appreciate all the help and
concern. i would love the info for any sites that you
know of that could be of help. keep in touch. you know
i was actually looking at my skin in the mirror today
and thought, my skin is actually very smooth without
the exception of 2 zits and they are small. my problem
i’ve decided is that the second i see the smallest
little pump i mean tiny virtually not even there and i
panic thinking it is going to turn into a monster. so
i pick at it and squeeze it until i have a huge wound
on my face and the next day i have a scab the size of
a marble and it stays there for at least a week. so my
skin is almost acne free at this point but i have
about 9 scabs and red marks from thinking i have
something there because i sqeezed it and i’m over

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to shed some light on some people out there who are
suffering
from acne. I recently joined this group myself and have found lots of
helpful advice. From my perspective, I started using RetinA-Gel when
my
acne got out of control. I started 3 months ago. I have tried
everything in the market prior to using Retin-A and have found most
items to be the least effective. However, after 2 months of usage I
seem to be getting great results. My acne cleared up and my skin is
back to normal. However, I do need advice on removing scars. I have
a
few scars/ small forming craters on my cheeks due to the acne. I’ve
considered micro-dermabrasion. Yet, have not looked into it. Any

Hey Everyone,

Hello everyone. I’m new to this group and want to take the chance to
reach out to eveyone.

I wanted to let everyone that I’ve finally gotten some
guts and decided to go into business for myself. It
took a lot for me to do it but I finally did it. I’m
now a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Now that I realize
my goal, to help others fulfill there needs when it
comes to taking care of your skin, I need your help
and support.

I want to personally extend an invitation to everyone
here and give you guys a chance to preview the new

My face was smooth, clear, and clean when I was living in Hawaii. But
ever since I moved to California when I was about 15 years old, I
started to breakout. And thus acne became an unwanted part of my life
for over 15 years. I’ve tried just about everything, but nothing I
tried cleared away my acne. Does anyone out there know what I’m
talking about? If so, PLEASE tell me what else I can do?

THANKS VERY MUCH!

Can you tell me more about the roaccutane, I have recently started to look
into this as my last result. What were your symptoms and are you saying
you’ve been outbreak free for two years? how long did you take the pill for?

have you tried cutting out sugar?

for me treating from the inside out was the only thing that helped.
taking vitamins and watching what i ate. anyone esle feel the same?
either way, i hope you all find something that helps! =)

Hi Britt,

Thanks for writing back…it sounds as though you are
on the right path to trying to figure out what causes
your breakouts…and its mostly got to do with whats
on the inside, not what you are applying topically to
the skin.

I agree with you completely…there are so many
alternative therapists out there with their own
views..etc…and i have gone that route too like
yourself…its very expensive. My opinion on taking
‘chinese herbs and pills’ is to not bother. Now please
remember this is only my opinion, im not saying these
methods donot work. Through personal experience i paid
