also one more thing to reduce red marks: really try not to pop any of your pimples unless they're about to burst on their own. then just gently put two fingers, with tissue, to the sides of the zit an...

My usual regimen involves: a) using some exfoliating lotion with hot water, b) wiping m, c) dabbing a cotton wool ball with witch hazel on the inflamed areas, d) apply rosehip oil sparingly to the red...

that is a great tutorial! I've basically heard that from the esthetician I saw, who was awesome EXCEPT for the fact she caused a small scar once I think it will go away completely over time but still...

it's definitely not your toothpaste that's the issue. the only thing thats ever unclogged my pores before w/o manually extracting them myself is african black soap. it draws clogged pores and blackhea...

Hi lifeinfaith--I should go get my black soap to see what it has in it. okay it doesn't say but from the etsy store: water, shea butter, shea tree bark ash, cocoa pods ash, plantain ash, coconut oil, ...

Greetings--- Sierra I looked at your pics and was loling at the carb craving comments...haha definitely had those!!! I've found theyve gone down with bc, and I was thinking back to when I was on bc be...

hey that sounds rough it has probably not been enough time for your acne to improve, and since you are noticing other changes its likely your hormones are shifting. as a girl, it takes at least 2 or ...

Hi Michi- wow i'm really surprised you could have symptoms that you do and have really low T. hormones are mysterious My estrogen and progesterone were very low too-and I also was not ovulating for ab...

It will fade over time, esp if you use the right products. don't put BP on healing cysts tho or healing pimples--it makes them scar worse(!!). use neosporin or low % salycilic acid. I find african bla...

oh yikes that is rough, well that's okay at least you won't get stuck in the cycle of being on birth control forever and then having it get bad every time you go off. it sounds like using retin-a and ...

Have you tried or thought of trying spiro? ppl have had success after not having it with all the stuff you tried...and it def sounds hormonal if it came back after accutane. have you tried multiple ty...

hey girl are you on birth control? I started getting acne my freshman/sophomore year (and also went on minocyclen @ that time) and it went away completely on bc. there's a lot off ppl on here that are...

It definitely sounds like you have a hormonal imbalance, even weird symptoms like cold hands and feet are something I had really bad when I got pcos. Since you're still having your periods (although i...

try african black soap! there's a good article on the website xojane about it posted just a few days ago. they won't let me post the link here but google "xojane african black soap". it has helped cle...

do not touch it in any way again and put neospirin on it every night after washing your face

what a great story! good for you

My skin is doing the exact same thing as yours. I am 25, but the way you described the clogged pores coming up, and the type and number of them, is exactly like mine. it started out for me with minor,...

Hey I have something a little similar. If u use a natural acid like salycilic or glycolic (haven't used but heard) you can definitely take care of these. I would go to an esthetician and talk about ac...

You have to power to shape your life exactly how you want to. This is great! and true, it's just about figuring out how to access that power, which is waht i'm trying to do . The book I was referen...

good luck!

Hi stacy! Just wanted to say hi and I relate a lot to what ur going through. I went through a cycle for like four YEARS where I would go out, drink too much, feel terrible the next day (physically but...

Hi, greetings from the US! Just wanted to chime in that I never had acne UNTIL I went off an antidepressant (prozac/lexapro) that I had been on for 8 years. The anxiety that i experienced after going ...

Hiiiiii! I just ate 2-3 tablespoons of water kefir grains. Not water kefir...grains. They are clearish-beige, bouncey organisms made of goo. My stomach feels all gurgly and wild, that was the point .....

You don't have to go on accutane--have you thought about going to an endocronologist? They can likely help you figure out why you're hormones/system is producing more sebum. Also, two supplements that...

you could try shea butter. it doesn't break me out at all and will absorb into even the driest skin. Jojoba oil wouldn't really absorb for me either. Shea butter is extremely effective but some have r...
