Well, as I had suffered from Acne for several of my younger years, and knowing how devastatingly horrible it made me feel at a younger age, I have decided to help out those who suffer from it, from my experiences. NOTE: I am NOT a professional by any means, and if your problem gets ANY worse or you think it may be too severe for this, please consult a licensed doctor.
First of all, Let's start by showing you what following these steps can do:
Before:
After:
As you can see, it cleared my face entirely and I have not had a problem with it since, as long as I continue to stay healthy...
I will break this down into several simple steps, and make it easy to follow...
Step 1: Eating right:
Well, sadly enough, here in America, 90% of us do NOT eat how we should. Stuffing down greasy fattening foods constantly is not healthy for your skin. It will make your skin oily and greasy, leading to less cleanliness and overall, poor skin quality, which is a major cause of Acne. Try not to eat acidic or greasy foods, stick to fruits/vegatables/healthier meats such as BAKED chicken, or BAKED fish. Fried foods = bad.
Step 2: Be active:
Sorry to say it, but your skin will most likely not clear up sitting in front of a laptop 12 hours a day... The sun helps to cleanse your skin. Ever hear of sweating? Yes, it opens your pores up, releasing toxins from your body, as well as getting rid of a lot of the grease and oils your body has trapped up in your skin. I usually go jogging for about 4 - 5 miles a day, but that much is NOT needed, simply jog a lap around a track or two, or maybe go outside and play a game of backyard football, whatever you like to do, do it outside, in the sun, and try to break a sweat, as it is good for the skin.
Step 3: Cleansing the Skin:
Well after all that sweating, letting it dry to your body is NOT good, GO SHOWER. But there is a key to this. Controlling your pores is very easily done and can make a great deal of difference. Start with a hotter than normal shower, as the heat opens up your pores and allows you to really clean the skin. Scrub thoroughly, and start to rinse with warm water, NOT HOT. Once rinsed off, stay in the shower an slowly decrease the temperature to colder water, as cold as you can get it without freezing. This will close your pores so that when you get out into the open air, dust and dirt do not instantly clog your freshly cleaned pores.
Step 4: Medications:
Well as many have probably tried, medications DO work, but the key is how you use them! I tried TONS of medical prescriptions, and all of them seemed to do nothing, I did not figure out until later it was how I was using them that really affected it. After a nice clean shower, apply the medicine, and then do something calm. Sweating and over heating will cause the medicine to either water itself down, or you will sweat it off. Leave it on as much as you can during the day until you wash your face again, and then re-apply, and during the night, just before you sleep, put some on and go to bed with it, let it work over night as your skin reacts differently while you are asleep than it does while you are awake, this has been proven by medical doctors. Also there is less of a chance you will touch your face or disturb the medicine during the night if you are sleeping.
Step 5: Staying Clean:
Well showing once a day is enough to clear you up eventually, but for best results, I would suggest washing your face in between showers. I try to wash my face 2 - 3 times a day, besides my shower. Usually Once in the morning, once around noon, and once later that day, before my shower at night. Be sure to wash and rinse thoroughly though, as leaving soap on the face can lessen the effects of the medicine, try to get your face completely rinsed off and clean.
