acne bacne scars redness popped pimples sunscreen burning weight exercise

So I'm kind of down about my skin right now. Just because I'm tired of dealing with this..I'm tired of looking at people who have clear skin and dont have to wear make up. Don't have to worry about touching their face, going swimming, sweating, ANYTHING!!!!!!!

And the sad part is my skin really isnt that bad right now. My scars are tho. And I have alot of scars on my back from a random HUGE outbreak of bacne about 2 months ago. Like seriously. It was so weird. I get a few spots here and there in the summer but my back has always been clear. Its gone back to an occassional spot every now and then but I'm having to work with the scars...and of course it's summer...not that I'd look decent in a swim suit anyhow.

Speaking of swimming I'm trying to find a good waterprooff concealer/foundation to wear thats good for acne when I go swimming this summer. Because I'm not going in the water without it if any living soul is around.

I'm tired of the sun because I love to be outside but I dont want to burn, tan or anything so I have to stay inside alot and wear a TON of sticky sunscreen. My life feels like it just sucks right now. And I'm even tired of complaining. I just have alittle Hope that things will get better...someday?

have you tried AHA on your back? It might not work fast enough before the summer is over, but in at least a month you should see them fading. Get dan's AHA+ on this site! =)

Actualy yes! I'v just started using the AHA cream I have, its by Gurilla of sweden (I didnt spell that right but oh well lol) I might look into dan's and see if its cheaper tho. I hope it helps (fingers crossed).

awesome! use it twice a day for best results. and definitely wash your back first. i use dial bar soap then the AHA.

I'v been using a body wash with salacylic acid 2% in it and then spray with toner (witch hazel, tea tree oil and lavender oil) then AHA and moisterize. So far this has really helped...still wish the scars would fade faster tho. I would love to be able to go out in a swimsuit. Thanks for your comments

no problem =)
I really don't think you need to do all that! Just wash and apply the AHA. the AHA is exfoliating and moisturizing at the same time. you don't want to put some moisturizer on top of it and block it from what it's doing.

That does sort of make sense. I might try that.
