BP works by putting oxygen into the pores which the acne bacteria can't live in and by bringing down inflammation. For non inflammatory acne you'd probably do best with some kind of exfoliation - the ...

Just stopped by to say how utterly gorgeous you are and wish you luck with the 'tane. Your hair is beautiful.

First of all, I'm not coming back to this thread after I've posted, so I won't be reading any flaming that follows this.   Now: The world is a place of duality. There's both good and evil; no o...

Everybody gets breakouts occasionally. It's sad this isn't seen as normal when it's pretty common.

This is going to sound horrible, and I hated when people used to ask me this, but have you tried... just leaving it alone? Your skin really isn't that bad at all except that it looks irritated. Try ke...

Apply a topical treatment like BP or salicylic acid and leave it alone. Popping is going to make things worse - the more you obsess over it, the longer it'll take to go away.

I also recommend exfoliation. Physical exfoliation using a sugar/honey/lemon juice scrub works for me, but there's also chemical exfoliation like glycolic or salicylic acid. You could also try a calci...

Do you pick/pop? How often do you exfoliate? Do you moisturize? Use any antioxidants? How much sleep do you get a night? Do you exercise? What's your diet like? Sorry for the interrogation, but it co...

Mild acne - you have what look like the tiniest scars ever in history which will probably go away with time. I know you said you're going out but sometimes popping can make a few spots turn into acne.

Thanks for this post, very helpful for those new to organic skin care. I personally found that coconut oil (in all the specifications you outlined) broke me out on my face when used as a moisturizer, ...

I don't think I'm allergic to my hormones but their levels do get quite whacky if I don't control them with my lifestyle.

Wash/moisturizer recommendations Something mild and preferably natural with no harsh treatment agents. Cleansing is just for getting dirt and oil off the surface of your skin; using something too har...

You have lovely skin For a natural looking glow try 1-2 drops of jojoba oil - it's chemical structure is similar to that of sebum with the added benefit that it shouldn't clog your pores when used in...

Green tea has helped me a great deal with my PCOS, as have some natural supplements, a low GI diet and exercise. Beware of excess carbs; PCOS can make you crave them, but they can really mess with our...

Hey, Thanks for the review. Duac cleared me of my acne and is still my go-to solution for the occasional random hormonal spot. I just want to add that redness is not always caused by using more than ...

Hi beautiful guys and girls, I'm just dropping by today to share the place where I get my soap from. Many of the ingredients are natural with minimal preservatives and I've found them to make mild, e...

Still doing well - I've been doing tonnes of cardio recently which seems to be helping out the blemishes on my chest. I'm nowhere near as strict with my routine as I was at the start of all this. I cu...

Guys. I said clearly on my original post not jojoba oil. I tried it and it made me break out really bad in cystic acne. Actually, you didn't when we posted, you changed it afterwards. Nice to see p...

Lovely post.

I have acne, but I'm clear at the moment and don't have scarring (I say 'have acne' because I control it, it's not gone away completely on it's own). I do notice scarring because I'm used to taking n...

Literally just run a teabag under cold water after you've brewed the tea and gently rub it over your face. Sounds mad, but it really does soothe irritation for me. It's fantastic for sun burn too.

Makes sense! Thanks very much for your informative post.

Hmm, interesting! I definitely don't wash my hair too often though, I'm an LHC'er Have you tried using some kind of oil on your scalp Ramsaymac?

Hi neighbour-la-reenos! Ok, sorry. I'll never do it again. Well, I'm here today to ask if anybody else gets this - 'this' being like little grains of sand on the scalp that look like hard sebum and ...

Some people DO grow out of acne. It's more about balancing the right conditions and factors than luck of the draw - usually, raised inflammatory response, excess sebum and skin cells not shedding prop...
