Acne is a problem for
most of us, and I’m sure that 90% of those who read this have almost lost hope
that they will find a solution. Well I’m here to try to help you. I'l give you
a few tips on how to deal with acne in a natural and inexpensive way.
For me, acne has been a
problem for may years, I’ve tried all kinds of medical, cosmetic and
experimental ways of getting rid of it. And some things worked for a while, but
then it was like my skin got immune to everything. I used to be very depressed
about it, and I started using make-up, lots of it. This made it even worse. Not
that the make-up was bad, I simply wasn't taking good care of myself,
sometimes I got too lazy to clean it up, and when I woke up in the morning, it
looked like I was growing a second head. Then I started high school,
which kind of motivated me to change my life around, and I set some goals for
myself. One of them was GET RID OF ACNE!!!
Ok so I’m going to start
with telling you about the medical stuff. I went to a dermatologist a few
years ago and he prescribed me all these things, which didn't have an effect
only made the matter worse. I got these red spots and my ace became worse,
another doctor gave me other things which had a small effect but only for
a while. Then to be honest I gave up. I just started applying layers and
layers of make-up hiding it, and even that didn't help much because my skin is
pretty oily and, when you mix foundation and oily skin... blah
So next
time I got determined to get rid of this once and for all was in the end of the
7th grade. So I started trying new things, I thought that this time I won't use
strong stuff, but I’ll try something more traditional. And I have to say,
mother nature is amazing. Let me give you my routine:
- Wash your face with a cleanser for oily skin. When you
pour water on your face before using the cleanser, use warm water. It will
open up your pores and let the cleanser do it's magic. When you apply the
cleanser, do it with round movements from inside out. When you're finished
wash it off with warm water, then finish off with cold water. This will
close your pores and reduce the reddens it might get from the washing.
- Dry your skin with a soft towel by patting your face.
Never rub your face with the towel, and change it often, I usually change
my towel twice a week.
- Apply an alcohol free toner, I use rose water, it's
great. I advice you, if you get rose water, look for one made from Bulgarian
roses, they are the best. I would tell you a good brand name, but I don't
want to come off as a PR...
- Apply a moisturizing cream. I use baby cream, the ones
that prevent redness and bruising(because of the dippers). It does
wonders, your skin will be moist but it won't become oily. And another
thing, whatever cream you use, make sure it has UVA and UVB filters. That
will keep your skin young and beautiful for many years ahead.
And that's it. After you're done
with these steps, you can apply your make up.
Trough out
the day you could use these wipes for sucking out the oiliness, if you have
oily skin like mine. And apply a bit of powder, not too much though. It would
make your face look like a wood doll.
So that's a
nice routine for keeping your face nice and clean. And over time that routine
will clear not only your acne, but your scaring too. In the following posts, i
will give you a few tricks that will help you a lot, and all of them are basically
free, and way more effective than all the chemicals in the drug store.
