I have a few places in mind where I feel comfortable with a few breakouts on my face: In the movie theaters, hiking outdoors, anywhere at nighttime, nightclub dancefloor.. That's about it. Some p...

The term "makeup" usually brings up thoughts of lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, etc. so I think that's why it has a negative stigma with guys. If you use a bit of foundation on red spots then that's fi...

Keep your job. Blot everytime you use the restroom and wash your face immediately after work. You can blot with brown paper towel or napkins, they work really well and won't irritate your skin.

I feel a connection to some people with mild acne. But there's others who have a very cold aura around them and I just don't wanna be close to that. On the other side of the spectrum, there's others w...

I recommend Oxy Maximum Face Wash. It has 10% BP and worked wonders in clearing up my face.

Just make sure he doesn't get into the habit of popping his zits

It really goes both ways. When my skin is clear I get a lot of attention from people, and sometimes it's overwhelming. I get compliments people saying I'm handsome, cute, etc. and I don't know how to ...

this regimen is quite drying... make sure to use a moisturizer....   Yeah my face got too dry without any moisturizer.. My face was feeling uncomfortably tight and a couple random whiteheads c...

The witch hazel I'm using contains 14% natural grain alcohol. I'm watching for any negative effects from putting this alcohol on my face, but so far my skin is handling it well. I never feel totally d...

I'm now using Clean & Clear Sensitive Skin Foaming Cleanser (aka Purpose), followed by a cotton pad soaked in Witch Hazel. I do this morning and night. I'm not using a moisturizer at this time. My...

Thanks for the input! I've been using witch hazel ONLY for the last couple days and I can tell it's drying out some spots that I have. The skin around the spots is kinda flakey. The rest of my face...

I've always been interested in minimal skincare routines and natural remedies. I read about the caveman regimen but that's a bit extreme for me. I need a real cleansing on a daily basis or I think I'd...

Please help get him on the right track and don't standby idly. If he's just starting out with acne there is still hope to control it before it gets out of control. Maybe you could ask your parents to ...

My nieces and nephews make comments when I have a small breakout somewhere on my face. I just laugh along and keep the conversation moving to the next topic.   I think anyone under 18 is just nat...

Sorry about your situation. What exactly are your skin issues now?   I know that laser surgeries are not an instant fix, so maybe just give it some time before you see the full results? Sometimes...

I use brown paper towel from the restroom @ work to dab my face every few hours. They absorb oil pretty well and they're free for me to use. Just make sure you pat your face gently and don't wipe abra...

Hey there. Try some Dickinson's Witch Hazel wipes. I think that those are the most mild wipes if you don't wanna worry about too many chemical ingredients, unwanted side effects, etc. They also help w...

I just wanted to update on my horrible experience with OCM and hopefully save some people from going overboard with this. If you do try it it's important to know when to stop if you're experiencing b...

I agree that eating bad food can worsen acne but I also found out that once you find an effective regime, you can eat almost anything and not have to worry about it. When I had acne issues, sure a bur...

Clogged pores, probably hereditary.

Wow, where to begin... I did the OCM for about 2 months and it really messed up my face. Please BEWARE of this method if you have combo, acne-prone skin like myself. I used a blend of olive oil,...

Those bumps are likely something stuck inside your pores, irritating them. Salicylic acid is good at unclogging pores but it's not an instant thing. There's a process of loosening up crap inside your ...

Mostly to just feel comfortable in my own skin. Everyone tells me I'm handsome, cute, etc. but when I have acne it really gets me down. Kinda like I'm not living to my full potential if that makes a...

You have a lot of active acne so I'd stay away from scrubs right now that could just aggravate your skin. Have you tried just a simple Salicylic Acid wash? It's more gentle than a scrub and still c...

Instead of water only, look into Oil Cleansing. It's still incredibly gentle and healthy for your skin but will also keep your acne in check. Make sure to include a bit of Tea Tree Oil to help with ac...
