Hi Everyone
I am a 30 african american woman suffering from teen acne : ( i have ioly combination skin
can anyone please help with an efective regime. the black marks and pimples are hummiliating in the office. i stopped drinking wine and beer. stopped wearing make up. stopped having long hair on my skin but still nothing. i am considering proactiv and clinique acnem even though in the past it did not help me. Guys, i am desperate for advice. i am so depressed over how people look at me. i need a product to lighten these marks too.
Hi! I am black also, so perhaps my regimen may help you...
I use argan oil day and night and it cleared my spots in 3 days! no joke! And the best thing about it, is that it did not leave any scarring behind. Just made them disappear. Now i just use this as part of my daily regime. Wash my face with Bodyshop's Aloe Vera Foam Wash in the morning and night. wait till my face is completely dry and then rub the oil on it. I only use small amount, as a little goes a long way. When i sleep i can literally feel the skin on my face breathing..it feels so nice.
It also has made my complexion really even...I didnt really have black marks, but uneven skin tone, and it has definitely made my complexion really matte.
I also take a multivitamin a day and drink herbal tea just to keep me healthy internally as well. If you suffer from any lines (ie: forehead wrinkle, eyebags etc) argan oil will definitely help as its an antioxidant.
There are many argan oil stockists out there but it has to be pure, cold-pressed, organic argan oil. Hope this helps!
Best of luck with your journey!
Honey and lemon juice face masks at night for 45 minutes or overnight if you can do it. YOU WILL BE AMAZED.
And when it comes to the ratio I would say 1 part lemon to 2-3 parts honey. Really up to you. They are both natural antiseptics and are great at evening skin tone. Do this mask every other night and the marks and acne will be a thing of the past.
