Q. What non prescription acne product will help get rid of my acne the best and keep it away? Life for example proactive, clean and clear, etc. like either in a kit or one product thanks.
A. The best acne treatment is a jug of water. I'm serious, you don't need anything fancy like Fiji water. Just a big bottle of water. Keep it next to you all day and drink 2-3 liters everyday. This helps moisturize your skin and clears out junk from your bloodstream. This will help stop breakouts in the long term.
In the short term, all you need is baking soda, aspirin and honey. Mix the baking soda with a bit of water and lightly massage your face then rinse off. Then crush up the aspirin tablets, mix with a little bit of water and massage onto your face. leave this on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off. Finally, put some honey on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
The combination of the above three will clean pores, dry up breakouts, prevent future breakouts and moisturize your skin. However this is only temporary because as your learn to drink more and more water everyday, your body will start to adjust internally. You'll start having less cravings for junk food and your body will be able to deal with the inner problems that lead to acne in the first place.
This means no more breakouts, ever.

How to clear up acne scars on your back?
Q. I have acne scars on my back that are brown spots. I want to get rid of them before I start going to the pool and wearing a swim suit and tank tops. Does exfoliation work? What about body washes for acne? Are there any tricks or home remedies I could use to clear the marks up?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Inflammatory acne is very damaging to your skin. Your bodyâs natural defense against injury is to scar your skin. When your skin responds to acne, it can make extra collagen to repair the skin and keep it from getting hurt again. These brown spots are called macules. But, itâs these scars that hurt your self-esteem.
The scars will fade with time but exfoliation will help because it will remove the dead skin cells that are accumulating and not sloughing off on their own. You'll see better results if you exfoliate correctly:
If you have dry or sensitive skin, exfoliate only once per week.
Oily skin: 3-5 times per week
Normal skin: every day
Body washes for acne aren't a bad idea. If you find one with a low concentration of benzoyl peroxide, this can be very effective in preventing more acne breakouts that could lead to scarring. The only drawback to this is that benzoyl peroxide will bleach clothes and hair.
An alternate method for body acne is a water / vinegar solution 1:1 ratio (This is what I use as I have the same issues). Put it in a spray bottle and spray the problem areas at night before you go to bed then shower in the morning. If you normally shower at night, go ahead and still spray it. The "vinegary" smell should dissipate but you may still want to wash off with a wash cloth in the morning.
Be consistent and you should see your skin clear up nicely. I hope this helps!

How long does it take for acne scars to become unnoticable?
Q. My acne scars are so noticeable! How long does it take to become unoticable? And when does it completely heal?
Thanks! :)
Thanks! :)
A. It depends on what type of acne scars you have - do you have the deep pitted scars from acne cysts or do you have the dark red ones? I had the dark red ones (these are called macules) and these will fade over time. The trick is to not allow more acne to follow that will cause more scars and not allow your skin to heal. In either case, scars can / will fade but depending on what type you have, it depends on how long.
Here is what I recommend to help (this is also what I did and my acne scars did fade).
First, make sure you cleanse at least once a day. Don't overdo it here (sometimes people shower more often thinking they'll get rid of the acne by washing it away - you can actually make things worse if you strip away too much of your natural oils because your skin will respond with making more oil - causing more acne.) If, however, you sweat a lot, you may want to wash your skin again (even it it's just with a wash cloth) - for instance, after playing sports, etc. Wash with a cleanser that YOUR skin responds to. But, do not choose a cleanser that has alcohol in it (as this also causes your skin to dry out and cause more acne). Also, don't choose anything that has fragrance in it as it can irritate your skin.
I would also exfoliate on a regular basis. Exfoliating your skin will help remove dead skin cells that get trapped because of too much sebum (oil) on your skin - causing pores to get clogged...thus forming acne. I expect you have oily skin. With oily skin, you should exfoliate 3-5 per week. (If you have dry or sensitive skin, only once per week; Normal skin would be everyday.) Exfoliating and thus removing the dead skin will allow your new skin to come through but just remember not to overdo it.
Many people think they can hurry the process along and while you can help the appearance of it by removing dead skin so that the new skin comes through, you don't want to make it worse by trying too hard and damaging your skin further.
Good luck to you...I hope that they fade quickly for you.
