Answer
~Eat healthier
~try taking milk out of your diet because the excessive hormones may be causing you to break out
~wipe down your phone a few times a week (depending on how much you talk on the phone)
~never touch your face and keep your hair away from your face
~don't moisturize (my dermatologist told me as long as you drink enough water and stay hydrated, there is no need for moisturizer unless your skin is severely dry) but wear SPF 15+ daily
~DON'T pop pimples
~Wash your face twice a day no matter what and never go to bed with makeup on (at least use makeup wipes)
~skip out on toner it's unnecessary unless your skin is extremely oily
~the sun actually helps to break down skin cells and can be beneficial if you go out in the sun unprotected for 5-10 minutes a day
~benzoyl peroxide is an amazing product that works wonders
~NEVER use raw acidic juice on your face (i.e lemon or lime) especially if you have acne, it will not clear up your skin it'll just irritate and make your acne worse
~splash cold water on your face after washing to close your pores
~use a primer under your makeup so everything goes on smoother
~be very gentle while cleansing
~the very best thing you can do for your skin is see a dermatologist

My skin is terrible PLEASE HELP (spironolactone)?

Hello everyone, im 21 years old, junior in college and i have been suffering from acne for what feels like a lifetime. It all picked up senior year of high school when my bf and i would make out and his scruff would irritate the CRAP out of my face. He would shave but it didnt seem to do much because i ended up getting a huge rash on my face (around my chin and jaw). I got on birth control and then found out a couple months later i cant take estrogen. So basically i had a rash and all these bumps under the skin from a combination of the birth control and the topical cream i had to put on my burning face.

Great way to start college looking like leather face, but my skin got better until all this crazy sh*t happened to me and it made me stress the hell out and break out like crazy. I switched dermatologists and she put me on spironolactone, i probably have been on that for just under a year. It wasnt doing much so she upped the dosage and i am just under the 3 month mark for that. I spent hundreds of dollars on microdermabraisons which worked for a week and then break out like crazy again. I used to have a ton of clogging under my skin, but it has gone down dramatically. I have tried every face wash under the sun, but i have settled with an organic one full of antibiotics and i use it with the Clarisonic. I use tea tree oil and vitamin E oil everyday. I use Laura Mercier mineral face powder. I wash my face twice a day. I take such good care of my skin people say its a matter of time before it will be good however i wake up every day with 3-6 new zits on my face. What am I doing wrong, what can i do differently? It's all jawline which is hormonal, but there has GOT to be something i can do. Thanks so much!

5 tips for healthy skin

1.Protect yourself from the sun

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems - as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
For the most complete sun protection:
â¢Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. When you're outdoors, reapply sunscreen every two hours - or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
â¢Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a. m. and 4 p. m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
â¢Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing - which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.

2.Don't smoke

Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin - the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking - such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke - can contribute to wrinkles.
If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.

3.Treat your skin gently

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:
â¢Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm - rather than hot - water.
â¢Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
â¢Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
â¢Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
â¢Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin type. For daily use, consider a moisturizer that contains SPF.

4. Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear - but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin.

5. Manage stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin - and a healthy state of mind - take steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.
