Nuke these spots

[fragmentor]

Well I haven't asked a question in a while; flaming seems to be taking up a lot of my time now But anyway, my spots are really starting to piss me off. I wash my face twice every day, 1st with warm water and then i splash cold water on my face and still they keep coming. Occassionally i put some tea tree oil on but this does jack sh!t.

I'd like to know everyone elses experiences and advice on dealing/preventing/stopping/nuking spots cos I am getting annoyed now.

Have a look at this one

www.acne.org

Ok, there is a ton of stuff you can do.


Number 1, dont put anything on your face that has oil in it. Dont use regular soap, use soap made for the prevention of acne.

Get creams with benzoyl peroxide and whatever else you can find. Just load up, buy some acne fighting moisturizer. Buy acne treated shaving cream. I know they have alll this **** in the US, so im sure they should in europe too.

My pockets aren't very deep, and my parents are cheap (they dont realize that we are upper-middle class, not trailer trash. Or they are hogging every penny for retirement.), so that acne.org regimen isn't going to work for me.

No wonder my face has been disguistingly oily since I ran out of benzoyl peroxide....

the best thing you can do is not to let anything come into contact with it besides washing it. dont let it touch your pillow when you sleep, dont rest your head on your hands. nothing. shaving regularly seems to help a little. do what jester said. and dont be agressive when you wash it, be gentle. you can also find that benzoyl peroxide stuff in other forms, i've heard of people buying 10% and mixing it with 1 part that and 3 parts moisturizer or something, acne.org says 2.5% is best and this way it works out that way+you save money.

Change your pillow case at least once a week!

Oh wow I've never even thought of that being a cause of acne. Thanks.
