How to clear skin by shopaholic12

"Fantastic; I definitely gained confidence!"

How I did it:

First off, I just took the time to evaluate my skin type, which was combination dry and acne-prone.

Then, I threw out all my old skin cleansers and moisturizers. I went online to websites for Neutrogena, Sea Breeze, Clean&Clear, and St.Ive's. I picked a few products that sounded good for me, and I read reviews for each product.

Next, I narrowed it down to 1 cleanser, 1 scrub, 1 toner, and 1 moisturizer. I went to the drugstore and purchased my items along with a pimple cream and a new, facial washcloth.

The most important step is to never skip a day in cleansing! One night I got home and 12:30 A.M. from a trip, but I went to the bathroom, and unpacked my toothbrush and my facial routine products. Keep washing your face each night, because you might end up with a new flock of acne.

Lessons & tips:

1. Never skip a day in cleansing!

2. Find quality products for your unique skin type.

3. Remove makeup every night.

4. Make sure you have a facial cleanser, scrub, toner, and moisturizer. Optionally, purchase a washcloth specifically for your face, and an acne spot treatment.

5. Every night, use your cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. 1-3 times a week, use the scrub. Every morning, use an extremely gentle cleanser, so your skin is clean but not over-irratated, which can cause more acne.

Resources: Product I Used:

Cleanser: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne cleanser in Pink Grapefruit

Scrub: St.Ive's Apricot Blackhead & Blemish Control Scrub

Toner: Sea Breeze Deep-Cleaning Astrigent

Moisturizer: St. Ive's Collagen Elastin Moisturizer

(I have dry, acne prone combination skin.

    what have I been doing wrong? It seems that whenever I try to help the problem it gets worse, I’ve exfoliated used special formulations and kept my skin clean but it doesnt help, sun tanning usually works and summer is around the corner so there’s some promise…Probably get cancer instead…

    Has anyone heard of that ‘Clear Skin in 3 days’ book?
    I’ve been reading EVERYTHING online because my Future inlaws are coming to town Tuesday. (25 with acne…sweet..) and I think i’m going to try what I’ve read on this method.
    Basically you eat 10 or more Apples for 3 days and then Take a diarrheic with some Olive Oil. It detoxifies your body…
    Willing to try anything I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

    I too have large pores. You can buy some facial scrub by biore that reduces pore size. There are also lotions and creams. My boyfriend’s mom is an aesthetic laser specialist, so I got a free microdermabrasion. Micro’s work really well and shave off layers of skin. My pores look much much better!!! It also reduces oil production and clears skin for a bit.
