Red,dry Skin With Lots of Acne How Can I Stop It? Posted: 02-18-07 09:44am
Hi
nearly all the skin on my face is very
red, even in parts where I dont have acne
ive tried all the over the counter
treatment products like clearasil, but
none of them work and theyve left my skin
very dry so I have to put onb moisturiser
which I no doesnt help my acne.
Does any one have any tips on how to stop
acne or at least to reduce the redness of
my skin?

Red Dry Skin Posted: 02-20-07 16:28pm
Hello
I used to have acne and for years I tried
using products containing chemicals and
medication, but all they did was make my
skin rough and dry. Then I discovered some
naturally derived products that are very
gentle on the skin and they cleared up my
acne without drying out my skin and with
no side effects. Now I market the products
to others who would like gentler
alternatives to acne medication. I don't
know if they'll work for you like they did
for me but what if they did? Would you try
them then? Send me a private message if
you would like to know more.

Sally,
My acne actually disappeared when I
started taking birth control. You might
want to talk to your doctor about that as
a possible option if you can. I also use
Proactiv Solution and Aveeno Clear
Complexion Moisturizer. Moisturizers with
soy are good at reducing inflammation and
redness! I still get a few small zits
every now and then when my period
approaches, but they're nothing a little
concealer can't hide.
If you have bangs, keep them off your
forehead while exercising and sleeping,
and when you're in the shower, be sure to
wash your face after you wash your hair.
It's also REALLY important that you're
getting adequate nutrition and enough
sleep. If you're sleeping poorly, eating
poorly, and if you're stressed out, your
skin will almost always reflect that.
No matter what though, you should
definately talk to your doctor about your
skin. He/she might recommend a
prescription for you if your acne isn't
responding at all to the various over the
counter treatments you've tried.
