Regular sleep DEFINITELY helps. If you can (I know it's tough in college... maybe almost impossible, lol), try it out for a few weeks and see what happens. Here's a link to a sleep site I used while i...

Due to my acne and how I was treated at school I have developed social phobia and now I cannot approach people anymore. I have no friends right now (have only 12 friends on facebook and that's all fam...

Well, I've recommended that ppl wash twice a day IF it seems like they are irritating their skin by washing thrice (love saying that) per day. Washing is just one of the many variables that goes into ...

Yes. Sticky notes are a gift from heaven

Do you have a smartphone? One thing you can do (takes a little bit of work, but everything worth having takes work) is to use some kind of an alarm- or notification-system that will alert you as to wh...

Didn't drink milk for 6 yrs, acne almost clear, I decided to add ~ 1 L of raw milk a day (for bulking). week one nothing happened end of week two - worst (and first) breakout in 2 yrs, back to modera...

Keep it up people... just be consistent with recording what you do to your skin and the effects and you'll definitely see some kind of pattern / progress

Wow you can't argue with those results! That's pretty amazing. I looked @ this thread because I've used Aczone, Solodyn and Ziana in the past and for me, they helped, but nowhere in the ballpark of wh...

Well, you might be washing your skin too much. Maybe washing before and after workouts is too much? And how is your water intake? I'm a firm believer in getting lots of H2O during and after workouts t...

OP Thanks for sharing - we all know how it is to feel isolated and alone when it comes to acne issues. It seems like there's a perceived stigma around talking about acne unless it's in the form of som...

Have your skin issues gotten worse since you started working there? As far as I know, simple cold air doesn't really affect acne that much but when there's an insanely cold wind hitting your face, you...

Good luck! Someone needs to invent some kind of a ring or bracelet that lets out a piercing alarm sound if you get your hand too close to your face. You can wear it everywhere so that if you even come...

I agree with your "doctore." Using bar soap on your face is basically skin-suicide. Indeed it depends on the bar and what's in it. To cleanse, I've used Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Cleanser (orange...

I'm not saying don't take a multi vitamin (though I personally do not because it's just ingredients for very expensive urine), but I am saying do not buy the ones animal market. They are ridiculously ...

Awesome post, very generous of you! I know just how down in the dumps you felt because I felt that way for years too. I had a cousin make fun of me for having body acne when I was like 13 or 14 and I...

This may sound stupid but how do you actually tell if your skin is excessively oily. Just by feeling it? One way to test your skin if, for whatever reason, you're just not sure: Use some facial tiss...

Hello, i'm new to this forum, and hopefully i'll be able to get some good answers from you. Currently I'm 20, and i'll be 21 at the end of the year. I used to have acne in my face and also chest and b...

Easy answer: It depends. It depends on your skin type and your body's natural tendencies. You say that moisturizing "is going to make" your skin more oily, so have you have you personally found this ...

When I shower only once a day, the dry skin isn't nearly as bad. Does this mean you usually shower twice a day? How often do you wash your face? How was your face before you moved into your current ...

Sweet topic... organic / natural / cruelty-free is the way to go if you can. I'm slowly transferring all my skin and hair care products over when I can afford it. One of the biggest crimes in this wor...

Wow, 20mg is a lot! I take 3-4 mg per day via multivitamin and have for years now. Personally, I've found iodine to be the biggest issue when it comes to vitamins + acne. Finding a multi that didn't h...

Hey 1Jammie1, Can you get a hold of Eucerin products in the UK? I personally used to use Cetaphil... used the same bottle for like 8 years actually lol. For the past year I've used Eucerin Daily Prot...

Hi Allie... sounds like you may need something to help exfoliate your skin and help it "breathe." The sort of spots you describe sound like the sort of spots I had on my body (not my face) - I've been...

Sounds like yours could clear up at around the same age, but that's what I call "a definite maybe." It depends, honestly. Did theirs clear up out of the blue and how long did they have acne? You've on...

Hey, I know your pain. I dealt with pretty severe cystic acne for many years of my life and it was worst when I was around your age (18-19 was when mine was worst). Of course, that's when many people ...
