I am 27 years old and STILL struggling with acne. Part of me feels bad for complaining because I know it could be much worse but I'm so mad that I'm almost 30 and still have to worry about this.
I've been using proactiv for about a year. My skin stayed 90% clear for the first 8 months or so but now it stays broke out. I've been using tea tree oil, baking soda, taking biotin. NOTHING is helping. My diet is pretty good, I workout regularly. Stress is a huge factor as I'm always stressed out but that is nothing new. These past two weeks my acne has really exploded.
It's flesh colored in spots, red and inflamed in other spots. Mainly on my left cheek but also on my other cheek and my forehead. It itches when I get hot, It's VERY red after I wash it, even if I just use water.
I've attached pictures. If anyone could give me any tips or tell me what type of acne this is I would appreciate it. I am trying to make a dermatologist appt for this week.
First you need to get your stress level down. It is causing more clogging in your pores, causing more acne. You need to stop worrying about the way you look and start anticipate the way you are going to look after you apply the medication of your choice. Start exercising the power of the soul to start the healing from the inside.
I'm not sure what kind of acne that is but I would try an apple cider vinegar toner at night if you haven't already. Mix 1-2 parts acv to water, put it on and leave it. Pure aloe gel might help with the redness.. I would also stop the baking soda for a while and see if your skin calms down.The acv will mildly exfoliate and normalize your skins ph level. Some people totally get rid of their acne with it.
