You can best help your skin if you do the 3-step facial regimen: wash, tone and moisturize. Washing helps remove dust that accumulated on the surface of the skin, toning provides additional cleaning as well as it preps the skin by removing dead skin cells that can just block healthy cells’ absorption of the third step, the moisturizer.

The key is to be able to find the right product to help you with your problem. I can suggest the brand: Mario Badescu. They have a line of products that really is good for our type of skin, I personally recommend the Enzyme Cleansing Wash, Cucumber Toner and the best HONEY MOISTURIZER. If you use these products, they don’t have the same ”stretched-dry-skin” that other products leave. This is often the misconception of people, that dryness and no oil means clean skin. What Mario Badescu does is gently and effectively clean it. Plus they’re natural.

For additional cleaning and maintenance on acne, try their DRYING LOTION pink stuff that you put on your pimples which dries it, ACNE GEL, which serves as your drying lotion maintenance during day time. Check out their line of products online. I dont work for them, its just that they really work and i would like to share it with you.

Kudos to a healthier skin.

- Hormones
- Oily Face
- If your parents had pimples or acne, you’ll probably have a good chance of getting it to
- And washing your face too much or too little

How to get rid of them:
To be realistic, there is no cure for acne. Acne or pimples can hit anytime, but thats why I’m here to prepare you for it when it’s coming. Treatments and precautions can help.

- Washing face 2 times max. No more than 2. Over washing can rid of your natural oils and make the skin produce more oil then needed.

- Try using Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% or 2.0% Salicylic Acid. Benzoyl is more powerful in my opinion, but Salicylic wins people with sensitive skin. I use Salicylic Acid. Then again, everyone has different reactions to the chemicals.

- Don’t rub your skin dry. Remember, you want to be gentle to your skin. Scrubbing harder or rubbing harder isn’t going to do you any good. Just irritates the pimple, making it worse. Try patting dry after a wash.

- Don’t touch your face. Oils on hands will get on your skin and make things worse.

- Drinking 2 Liters of water everyday can help. Water keeps the skin moist and looking young. It also flushes your waste system (urine)

Well, I don’t know about any home remedies, but I heard putting tooth paste helps dry out the pimple. I wouldn’t recommend it but if you really have to, give it a go. Just put a dab of tooth paste (not gel paste) on the pimple. Let it sit there for 5 – 15 minutes then wash it off.

- You can buy Clearasil Ultra Daily Face Wash. Or any of the Clean and Clear products. Just look for Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% or Salicylic Acid 2&. (10% of Benzoyl Peroxide may be hard for sensitive skin people)

Good luck and Proactive looks like a promising product.

PS: Don’t use Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide products together. Severe Irritation will occur.
