luppe 1 Posted April 19, 2007 I've had acne since I was a young lad. Tried everything and then some. I'm now 20 and here are some things I've noticed about my acne. - Cleansing your face is very important, if I skip washing my face, I’ve notice a change. I make sure I wash my face both in the morning and at night. - You have to be gentle with your skin, and got to treat it right. Try not to scrub it like you are scrubbing a stain out of your carpet. The gentler you are with your skin, the better it would be. - Stress causes acne. At least for me. Every time I’m stressed out, I break out. Rather it would be doing a last minute paper or studying overnight, I would break out. Same thing goes for presenting in front of a class or being part of the wedding. Could it be that I wasn't getting enough sleep that contributed to this as well? - The more I exercise, the better I feel, the better I look and the better my skin would look. When I was active, was when my skin was at its best. I was looking at my old team pictures and notice how flawless my skin was. I couldn't believe that was me. - Water, I don't really know how much effect this had but the more I drank the better I would feel. At my very worst, I could've been a canidate for accutane and at my best, my skin was 99.9% clear. What have you noticed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meeeeeee 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Ok I agree, but the inflammed ones are usually geneteics, hormonal and out of your control I guess. What about eating frensh-fries and chocolate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Greg=- 1 Posted April 19, 2007 I totally agree with pretty much everything you said. I have only been exercising for like a week and a half/2 weeks after not doing any for 2 years and my face is looking great. I got injured a few years back and just stopped training/working out and also due to becoming generally lazy I guess. My complexion is pretty much even, my red marks have faded drastically and I generally feel happier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, unless you take the french fries and smear it all over you face. LOL just wash your hands after you eat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
