Problem Skin?

My Skins really really irritating.


Its Oily Spotty and have ache scars no amount of Makeup seems to cover them up.


ive used nearly everything to get rid of the spots but that just causes my skin to go into oily overdrive.





Anyone Got any ideas of make up that would suit my skin and anything to reduce the ache but also prevent my skin from going really oily?
Problem Skin?
This is what I recommend:





Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.





Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON鈥楾 EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.





Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.





Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don't scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.





An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.





Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.





Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don't pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.





If you have sensitive skin, don't use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands a full of bacteria and oils.

you need a strong Vitamin A cream/serum. It targets oily pores/skin and is used specifically for acne and pigmented scars.





I am not sure which country you are in, but some countries have a law that you need a prescription for vitamin A if it's above a certain dose. if you can get your hands on a 1% or 2% vitamin A cream (that has a glycolic as well) then you're laughing.





I like the Jan Marini range.

Reply:To deep cleanse(and you will feel your skin being less oily) what you can try is getting a bowl, putting some lemon juice and rose petals in it and filling it with boiling water, then u steam your face, do this once a week.





'Simple' has great products, which are also reasonable price that cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin whilst fighting oil, also if you don't get that where you live i am sure there is an alternative product, just ask the pharmacy person. Now for spot cream- you can either buy one in a shop or you could try sudocream(actually this isn't great if your skin gets oily,it just makes it oilier so don't use it)or toothpaste(works wonders, just dab it on the spots, it dries them up fine and dandy) you could also try mushing up an aspirin tablet and mixing it with a little water and rubbing this on your spots.





Now you have to give these some time to work BUT if they don't then i suggest you go to the doctor, she will straightaway give you a prescribed spot cream and that clears them up right awayand will get rid of oily skin(of course its a lot dearer then normal spot cream) now for the make-up -make sure it is oil free or use a mineral one, which is good for oily/spotty skin.





Now pet, don't worry if none of these suggestions work, you go straight to the doctor and tell her exactly your skin problems and she will give you the best possible treatment, hope all goes well x
Reply:Best bet is to see a makeup artist-at your local mall. Go to a good reputable counter, like Clinique, Chanel, Laura Mercier...etc. They can help you find the best products for your specific needs. And if you decide not to purchase anything, just say thanks and leave. But remember all their advice, tips and type of products they recommended for you. You can get less costly products (if finances are an issue) with similar effects at other stores.
