So I rarely used to get acne when I was on the birth control pill and switched to the Mirena, due to it being more safe. I experienced slight acne and got it under control with benzoyl peroxide gel. Then despite treating it I broke out all over my face, more especially on the left side (see picture and use my upper lip I'm due for a wax loool) only an occasional pimple on the nose, chin, and upper lip and two or three on both my right side of my face, and forehead. I've I've tried tea tree oil, benzoyl, salicyc acid, and glycolic over the at few months and it isn't going away or getting better. I'm not sure what to try.. I had clear skin throughout high school and now I'm 21 with the worst skin I've ever had. Any ideas? I've been thinking of going to a dermatologist but I'm not sure if this is considered mild acne or warrants a visit. Someone please help:(
Use acne treatment every other day, they'll work better
wash face with raw honey in the morning
use lavender essential oil on pimples
dont use scrubs! They'll make acne all over face!
start taking vitamins especially made for skin
apply nonfat buttermilk like mask every 2 days for 15 min
drink herbal teas daily
honeybrush, nettle, red raspberry leave, mint, burdock, milk thistle
dont use at the same time you take drugs, or read which herb is ok to use with drugs
Don't use too many products at once. My face was very clear & just recently this year, I was trying all kinds of masks & acid products & I broke out badly. Now I just cleanse my face & moisturize & that's it. Your face will clear on its own when you give it a chance. Maybe you should also switch back to whatever BC you were on before. best wishes!! Acne sucks
Yes,as i am reading down i am thinking dont start throwing loads of products at your skin.
this is aggravated from inside and a little outside.
change diet and hygene to one thats more friendly to acne.use benzol peroxide on effected areas to get rid of active stuff,then stop.
wash skin with warm water only and pat dry with clean towel.then apply just a moisturiser thats suitable to your skin.
drink water several times a day.
stabilise your skin and diet this way if yoyr diet is sggravating your skin you will know.
its all about skin management.
