GOOD LUCK!!!
RECOMMENDED SKIN CAREâ¦I use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. Iâve tried various âoil freeâ/âsalicylic acidâ moisturisers but the best Iâve found is the clean and clear onâ¦I found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin.
EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!...The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn't make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel.
HORMONAL SPOTSâ¦Any female with spots I'd recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it's hormonal that can sort everything out within weeksâ¦though it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill.
FACIAL ACNE: AVOIDâ¦Don't use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil...just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs Iâve tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems.
Iâve also had problems with those âfacial wipesâ made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because theyâre too drying and when the top layerâs too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems!
Some say chocolate doesnât affect itâ¦it does for me and I donât know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse.
HAIR PRODUCTSâ¦Be careful what products you use in your hair if it's long - certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums.
INGROWING HAIRSâ¦For men or womenâ¦if you have oily skin, these are more likely. For menâ¦use a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that donât have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too â so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later.
For womenâ¦waxing seems to cause the main problem â we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creamsâ¦to avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves â that way, you can use any kind of shower gel.
NUTRITIONâ¦I recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex â those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow.
OLD WIVES TALE??...It's an 'old wives tale' type remedy - but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too...kinda like honey and lemon X
HYDRATIONâ¦.Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!
DEALING WITH SCARRINGâ¦thereâs an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called âre-finishâ by L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it's own moisturiser which I don't use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.
If you get your skin relatively under control, try using '21 days Fade Cream' (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. Itâs a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative!
Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefitâs Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain â this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesnât smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesnât aggravate the skin or cause breakouts.

Is organic make up like Bare Minerals really as good as people say it is?
lindsey lo
I want to try the organic make up.. but its really expensive and if it doesn't work all that well id be wasting my money. And is the organic make up by almay and store brand stores good to? HELP i need info on organic make up! thanks everyone who helps!
Answer
First off Bare Minerals are not organic. They aren't even all that natural. I am a professional makeup artist and skin care specialist and I know a lot about cosmetic ingredients etc.. I have used Bare Minerals in the past and was very dissapointed with several things.......
1) they say they are PURE minerals- they are not. They use Bismuth Oxychloride which is not an actual mineral but a METAL that has been processed with tin and copper, it is well known to cause irritation, rash, itching and in some cases acne. This is a cheap ingredient and produces the shine in their product. A lot of people are very allergic to this ingredient.
2)They say they are all natural and that they use NO preservatives. This is also untrue, if you turn your jar of mineral veil over you can see plain as day there are parabeans (chemical preservatives) in the ingredient listing
3)Their makeup leaves you shiny, greasy and you need to reapply often
4)they are overhyped and overpriced
