James O asked:


As my acne first started to appear, it was not as much. About 4 months ago I tried out Proactiv, which didnt work. About a day or two after I stopped using it, my acne started to disapear. Now its come back and its on my forehead and nose. My bangs can probably be the problem for acne on my forehead and near my sideburns. Also I have a few breakouts on my nose. Please help!

Bizarre Acne Treatments Revealed

acne February 10th, 2009

Danna Schneider asked:


eally a huge concern for numerous men and women here in the US that it is one of the top reasons for teenagers, preteens and adults to visit dermatologists in search of acne treatments that will actually work.

The appearance of our skin is so important, and this ideal has only been reinforced by the images we see of movie stars with pristine complexions and the oft-printed notion that (women especially) with glowing, flawless complexions are our society’s ideal of beauty and grace.

There is just something about that flawless complexion that makes those that suffer from occasional or chronic acne search the globe for treatments that will really take the acne away and lead them on their way to clear, healed and healthy looking skin. I can remember my feelings of helplessness when I had bad to moderate acne in my teens, trying any number of solutions only to be mostly disappointed in the end.

I would have given anything to enjoy the blemish free complexion that so many of my friends seemed to enjoy, and yet the answer remained elusive to me until I was an adult and learned about all of the excellent alternative treatments I could use as well as how my diet and lifestyle could clear my skin faster and more efficiently than some of the most potent medical treatments in some cases.

Little did I know at that time, mostly because the internet was not nearly as sophisticated, and barely used back then, the plethora of acne cures, treatments, ointments, creams, lotions, devices and diet and lifestyle plans that could clear up my acne if I’d only had the benefit of enlightenment that this vast network of information had to offer information seekers.

However, today is the present, and I’m pretty much acne free, so there’s no use crying over spilled milk as they say. Nowadays, I’m reading about some extremely interesting, unorthodox treatments for acne that have seemed to work for many individuals, of course to varying degrees, and thought it fun to share some of the more unusual treatment methods with you here today.

The most interesting and certainly dubious if ever there was one, acne treatment I’ve read about, is one that is not an acne treatment at all, but rather one of those happenstance “discoveries” of a totally unrelated substance to acne treatment that is found to be a good topical antidote to acne. It’s actually a sexual lubricant used in Cambodia for condoms commonly used by those in the sex trade for protection against STD’s called Number One Plus.

Many have testified that this lubricant, when applied topically to acne problem areas, actually dries up acne lesions fairly quickly. There is really no explanation for how someone happened to find this out, but I suppose we can just use our imaginations on that one!

Another interesting and unusual acne treatment I’ve heard of throughout my years of research is the topical application of toothpaste on acne lesions. I tried this one and it didn’t work for me, but my own father swore that it helped him clear up acne spots when he was in his teens, and I did also have one friend who said this technique worked for her, but she emphasized that it had to be a white paste type, not blue or clear or a gel.

Another rather interesting treatment that is supposed to be therapeutic for acne as well as other common skincare woes is one that is performed by an asian-inspired beauty salon that gives facials that are made with ingredients that include nightingale droppings. Yes, you read that right - bird poop as a skin care remedy! Still, they swear that this stuff works, so who are we to judge unless we try it?

Here is one that I actually like and also believe it has merit and works as I had tried it back in my more experimental (and desperate) days. It’s an egg white mask. What you do is take the white of a raw egg, separated of course from the yolk, and you rub it on your face just like you would any other type of skin mask that you buy in a store. You let the egg white dry on your face, then rinse it off.

It leaves your skin feeling baby soft and smooth and is supposed to have soothing, therapeutic effects on skin that is affected by acne, which is often inflamed and irritated. This is one of the best and cheapest ways to pamper yourself a bit and give yourself a little salon treatment without spending the money. Just watch you don’t let the egg drip off your face!

Acne Treatment: 4 Simple Tips to Become Acne Free

acne February 7th, 2009

Sean Nguyen asked:


Acne treatment using antibiotics and drugs aren’t always the best and could do more harm than good. The top effective way to treat stubborn acne is to actually treat it from within. You might find these tips beneficial in treating acne from the inside out.

You will also find out the 1 thing that all doctor do not want you to know about acne treatment at the end of this article.

What NOT to Do:

1. Don’t consume too much sweet foods or sweet liquids. Stay away from chocolate, sodas, candy and anything that has refined sugar as a main ingredient. Sugar clogs pores and dries out the skin, which are two main causes of acne.

2. Do not ex foliate skin with acne. Rough treatment of skin with acne will only cause skin inflammation and make the acne problem even worse. Don’t use harsh chemicals, soaps, or cleansers on sensitive skin with acne.

3. Don’t apply oil-based products. Skin with acne is already struggling with an overproduction of oil so don’t worsen the problem by using oil-based products. Keep an eye out for typically oily products such as facial creams, moisturizers, and including hair gels. Hair is definitely oily so keep your hair out of your face whenever possible. There are many acne treatments and products that are water-based and thus gentler and more appropriate for acne-prone skin.

4. Don’t unnecessarily touch your face. Touching your face, especially with dirty hands and fingers, could cause and further aggravate an acne problem. This also means not touching your acne in any way using your hands. Doing so will traumatize the skin and make the healing process a lot slower. It’ll also create unwanted acne scars and blemishes.

What TO Do:

1. Drink lots of water. Make sure that you are always drinking water when you feel thirsty or even a little hungry. Drink only in small amount throughout the day. Drinking lots of water not only replenishes the body’s water supply, but also flushes out toxins from the body that may cause acne.

2. Have a good skin care routine. Prevent acne problems by establishing a daily facial washing, toning, and moisturizing regimen early on. Non-comodegenic skin care products are specially formulated for sensitive skin with acne. Natural and organic acne product is highly recommended.

3. Relieve stress. Stress will disrupt your body’s natural balance and lead to lots of health problems such as acne. Avoid acne and skin problems from happening by staying relaxed and happy. Getting enough sleep, getting a massage, taking a long bath, going to the spa, or simply managing your time and schedule better are considered acne treatments because they relieve acne-inducing stress.

4. Consume more vegetables and fruits. Natural vegetables and fruits are filled with minerals and vitamins, which are the best acne fighters around. For example, orange and leafy vegetables are rich in Vitamin A. Vitamin A prevents over-production of sebum, which causes acne. Broccoli, strawberries, Oranges, bell peppers, and lemon juice are some Vitamin C rich foods that are also great acne treatments.

Eating these types of foods support the body’s defense system against acne-causing microbes and aids faster healing of acne. Vitamin C also helps your body replenish its sources of Vitamin E, which is essential in revitalizing the skin and repairing damaged skin.

Remember that you can effectively treat acne just by taking good care of your body. Acne treatments are not all about buying antibiotics or drugs from local drugstores.
