I dont know іf ive developed аn allergy tο mу makeup οr whаt. Theres ѕο many different kinds οf over thе counter creams аnd washes i hаνе nο іdеа whаt tο bυу. Anу suggestions?
When it’s your chin or jawline that gets breakouts it’s hormones not because u dnt clean your face properly.. Anyway creams lotions n potions.. Surely u heard of proactiv.. It’s blasted over telly all the time here.. It costs a fortune!! My secret to u is that u can buy this active ingredient at the chemist for 5% of the price of proactive!! Great!! It comes in all strengths 2.5 % 5% and 10% u only have a lol break out so start small cos the higher strengths might irritate ur skin .. I rub mine in with moisturier to prevent drying.. It’s called Benzyl peroxide .. Or benzac…good luck
oxy is a reallly good brand
There is a Clearasil cream, that is colored so you can hide the blemish while you wear make up. when you are home, clean the make up off with Noxzema. do this daily, the breakout will go away. its also been very hot, so it could be a heat rash, which will aggravate if you mess with it.
First, find a gentle facial cleanser that works for you. (Everyone’s skin responds differently to different products, so find one that your skin responds well to.) Make sure it does not contain alcohol because this will dry out your skin and actually make you produce more oil. You want something that will cleanse your skin but not strip away your natural oils – thus causing more oil and more acne. Once you find the product your skin likes, cleanse twice per day. Only do more if you’ve been sweating a lot (i.e. like playing sports) but even then you can just wash off with a wet washcloth to get the excess sweat off.
Next, exfoliate regularly. This depends on your skin type. Exfoliating your skin will help remove dead skin cells that get trapped because of too much sebum (oil) on your skin – causing pores to get clogged…thus forming acne. Most people think that by scrubbing their skin, they will get rid of their blemishes but you could be doing too much. Here’s what I recommend:
With oily skin, you should exfoliate 3-5 per week. If you have dry or sensitive skin, only once per week; Normal skin would be everyday.
Finally, I would suggest to use a benzoyl peroxide product (don’t do this on top of a cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide). BP is very effective for different kinds of acne but you need to use it on a consistent basis. Once to twice per day, everyday. Start off slow and work up to twice per day. Also, please note that it is not necessary to use a 10% solution. The trick is to use the lowest concentration regularly. I would recommend a 2.5% concentration. Only if your skin is really, really oily should you use the 10% solutions.
Unfortunately, some people develop acne as they get older but it doesn’t have to take over your life. If you are consistent with your skin care regimen and gentle with your skin, you should be fine. Try the above and see how your skin responds. Good luck to you!!
Product with Benzoyl Peroxide definitely give your good results to clear away the acne. Benzoyl Peroxide kill the acne bacteria which cause your breakout. Also try to use makeup with oil-free or noncomedogenic label, it certainly help to reduce the chance of breakout.
Another way to improve your acne problem, try to do some regular exercise. It clear out your pores and dead skin cells. After sweating, remember to take shower which not only clean your skin, and also try to replenish moisture by applying moisturizer.
