my face stinks

[happy gilmore]

How come other people don't have to wash their faces religiously and leave the oil up there on their faces and still won't get pimples? Whereas, I have to wash my face, put medicine on it to dry my freaking face up, control myself not to sleep on my face, doing everything I could just to be able to control those pimples somehow?

Whats the difference between their face and mine? I see dirty bastards with oily faces all the time, but what do they have? A spotless face.

Why me? I just hated it, I hated it!!

Crying about it won't do anything. The tears will probably clog your pores.

Try acne.org.

Because they have already treated it. When I was younger, middle-schoolish, my face read like War and Peace to the blind. After lots of Retin-A and antibiotics and clindamycin and one round of Accutane, I escaped my father's fate (he is scarred all over his face, back, shoulders and chest from acne - to put it simply, his sweat needs a 4x4 to get from his forehead to his chin.) I no longer need to do anything to my face other than washing it in the shower, and my face stays modelesque.

Haha, im one of those bastards you're referring to! Im not particularly fond of it. It gets dirty fast and the pores fill up with blackheads easily. In future cases, i would rather be embarassed if a girl had to touch my face and find grease all over her hands, which she could be disgusted by.

Anyway i used to have horrible zits in hs, very horrible. But by my senior yr it slowly disappeared. I still get a couple every once in awhile.

It may have to do with genetics. How old are you? and what facial cleansers are you using and whats your hair length?

the insecurity is deeper than your facial features.

It also has to do with the pure garbage that you put into your stomach that you call food. Stay away from junk food, greasy/salty/really sweet stuff.

My face doesnt have much acne anymore but I still wash with Oxy and use astringent. I do have a major oil problem on my nose and other areas. So much that I can rub my finger on my nose and smear it on a surface and see the oil clearly.. it sucks. But it does seem to be improving since I started lifting and improved my diet .

 

[fonderboy]

I never had a pimple problem. A few might sprout up but they'd be gone in a few days. Nothing noticable.

Woot!

Try using an exfolient as well if you don't already.

and last of all, stop focusing on it, the more depressed you get about it, the more it will hurt when you realize u cant ever fix it 100%

Follow this routine:

Wash/change pillowcases weekly, wash 2x a day...morning & night. Apply moisturizer after washing face.

Try Clean & clear pore cleanser. I used that daily and it's very effective, which i highly recommend. Afterall...zits are caused by clogged pores anyway. And a lot of times it's attributed to bad hygiene, so try not to touch your face during teh day. and change thsoe pillowcases

and 1 more thing, stay away from junk food. Which can also contribute to zits

Uppin this sh*t. I got an acne problem too and man does it suck. I'm a junior in High School and had it ever since 8th grade, when do yall think it will go away by itself or start decreasing?

 

[diablo]

Good lord, just go to a dermatologist already. There's a reason that some doctors specialize in nothing but skin conditions... perhaps it's time you visited one?

 

[JH6]

agreed, just got see a doctor and ask what to do. YOu will get put on some pills, and bite it in the ass before it gets worse.
