The King of Pop is heard saying in the tapes that he was extremely worried about his skin problem. “You can clear up physically but still mentally you’re scarred – so you really haven’t improved,” the News of the World quoted him as saying in the tape.

What Product Worked Best For Your Acne?
Print This Post
Email This Post
Just curious here, what products or remedies worked best to get rid of your acne?
Regular vitamins and apple cider vinegar work best for me.
Step 1:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser with warm water, every morning and night.
Don’t put pressure on your acne it will make acne red and irritated.
Step 2:
Gently dab away water on your face, but don’t take all of the moisture away because it will only make your skin dry. Be careful to wash your face too much because it can irritate your skin. If you have oily skin, get a tissue and wipe the oil away.
Step 3:
Apply a topical acne medication, from a dermatologist or from any store. You can also get lotion, or gel containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
Benzoyl peroxide gets bacteria from the skin and salicylic acid helps unclog pores and prevent your skin from peeling. Get one that fits better for your skin.
Step 4:
Protect your skin with a non-comedogenic sunscreen(sunscreen that doesn’t clog pores). To avoid your skin from way too much sunlight, that can make your acne worse.
Step 5:
Use only non-comedogenic, water-based make-up that is oil-free. There are moisturizers and makeup that is made for people who have acne
Step 6:
Be careful when you shave. Shaving can irritate your skin and shake in only one direnction.
Some shaving creams have benzoyl peroxide, so it can help get rid of your acne.
Step 7:
NEVER squeeze, pop, or pinch acne. It causes more acne and it can make you get scarring.
Step 8:
Try avoid things touching your face, like holding a phone against your face, wearing sports equipment, or resting your chin on your hand.
Step 9:
Keep your hair clean and out of your face. The natural oils in hair can contribute to acne, as can hair products that contain oil.
Step 10:
If you still have acne while taking care of your skin you might want to go to a dermatologist. There are different types of acne and different treatment.
Step 11:
Be patient! Fighting acne can be slow, and it’s not going to zap away in a day. But when you get rid of your acne, you’ll say hello to your new face.

The Chicago Sun Times is reporting this today:
Stress is a leading cause of breakouts, and there’s no shortage of that these days in the office of Oakland, Calif.-based Dr. Katie Rodan. Many of her clients are in the financial field.
Meanwhile, Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Cheryl Karcher is performing far fewer liposuctions or botox injections but is seeing more patients than ever. “They’re all insurance patients for eczema, acne and warts — they’re all another hit from the immune system,” she says.
Karcher explains that the nervous system and hormone systems work together. “They are tightly intertwined and the nervous system is stimulated by stress. I am seeing more acne than you can believe.” [Read more...]

Should I Worry About Baby Acne?

Many parents are horrified to find that a baby can be born with acne, or develop it in the first few weeks of life.
In fact, most babies have some kind of rash as newborns. This may be baby acne, seborrhea (also known as seborrheic dermatitis), or eczema. Of these three possible rashes, acne is generally regarded as the least serious because it is the quickest to clear up. It is believed to be caused by hormonal changes occurring at birth.
Acne occurs in about 20% of babies, more commonly in boys than girls. It manifests as a red lumpy rash over the forehead and cheeks, sometimes with whitehead pimples. It is thought to be caused by transfer of hormones from the mother to the baby during the birth.
It looks a lot like the pimples that teenagers get but of course a baby does not know or care how it looks and the pimples do not cause any discomfort so you do not have to worry about it having any effect on your baby. In fact, the only way a baby might be affected by it is if the unattractive look of the rash makes you as parents treat the baby differently or show him or her less affection than you would if he or she had perfect skin.

5 Myths about Acne

Myths and misinformation about acne can make things even worse. Here are five most popular acne myths – demystified.
Acne is not caused by poor hygiene
REALITY: Dead skin cells, oxidized skin oil (sebum), dust and dirt particles clog pores and trigger acne. Some experts claim that you should wash your face as many as three times a day to prevent acne. However, vigorous rubbing and scrubbing only makes matters worse. All you need is to keep your pores clear from dirt mixed with sebum and dead skin cells. Twice-daily cleansing with a mild non-detergent cleanser is more than enough.
Chocolate and French fries don’t cause acne
REALITY: Our diet is directly linked to the state of our skin. [Read more...]
