How did you get rid of your spots/acne?
 

Since last week, mine have been out with a vengeance! Its mad!!

How did you get rid of yours?
I hear Sudocrem is very good, so I bought it today, and will use it tonight.

Also honey and lemon is good for scars left behind, so i will soon use them as well.
See if anything happens, hopefully.
Ive had spots for 4 years now, since Year 8, was when it was the worst!

Sudocrem or I just squeezed some.

i just drink lots of water and watch what i eat. i hate putting all that **** on my face.

Drink plenty of water :D

stopped talking to greg

Was lucky, never really had it.

i normally just wash my face with soap, then clense and tone lol.

You big girl :tongue:

Yeah me too. I just wash my face with soap like every day but I never had acne really.

I never really got spots, but the best thing to do is leave them alone and not worry about them, they'll go on their own and if you put stuff on your face it will make it worse in the long term. As hard as it sounds try not to squeeze them as well

Drink loads of water and if they don't fade or go away or keep coming back go to the doctors and ask for some oxytetracycline

Water ? That's gross. Who drinks that ? :tongue:

xf-lol. I just keep washing my face, putting something specifically on one part of my face never seems to work. Luckily I rarely get spots

I dont actually get spots :D ,but Ive heard that Sudocrem is good.
also, drinking water is important, to keep drinking it.
chocolate brings out spots, so try to avoid as much chocolate as possible.
Hope all the advice helps you! :)

I always get them and I've given up trying to get rid of them.

Chocolate does not bring out spots FACT

if they get bad go to a doctors and ask for tetralysal (tablets) & adapalene cream

no, its not the case with everyone.
it depends what your skin type is like.
But in lots of people it can bring out spots :spin:

Various balms and medication. I still look like ****. (Y)

its been scientifically proven that chocolate has no direct link to the cause of spots

it may cause them :)

*bangs head on comp*

no getting through to you is there courts :o

sorry Lmaoo :joker:

Never had it before..

But then my diet is far healthier than your average.

Spot cream/pads. I get a couple now and then, but not many. Im not too fussed, Im a teen most of us will get them for a while.

Never really get them tbh. But when I do i pop them and pour this bacteria remover on it. It burns like ***** but they are gone like the next day.

lmao

that made me laugh for no reason at all

lol glad i did, just to clarify i didnt mean your diet slav just meant the average persons.

ROFL you sod!

I had to go on Roaccutane for my acne, it's worked wonders though :)

clearasil!

i drink plenty of water and use clinique face wash, moisturizer and toner. :]

Oh yes, many members said water is very important. I learnt it the hard way.

Let me tell you a story. It was nothing to do with spots, however,,,.

One day I realised my hair was keep falling more than usual. My hairdresser gave me expensive conditioner but they did not work at all.
Also my joints (neck, knee, ankle) started to ache.
But I thought it was just sign of me getting old so I did not do anything.

But one day I found a very small lump around three fingures joint (not wrist Ganglion) on my left hand.
Because they were lumps, I was quite alarmed so went to GP.

A doctor said it may be because of my age, it is nothing to worry about it.
So I tried to forget about all of these trouble.

One day, a colleague said she found some article in a magazine, a symptom was exactly the same about my fingure lumps.

According to the article, a lump was a sign of dehydration and body tried to store water for imagency.

Then I realised I had been to sauna for sometime and I knew now that I did not drink enough water.

They said water transports oxygen to our cells, remove waste, and protect our joints and organs.

Within couple of weeks after drinking plenty of water, my hair came back to almost same as before.
About six months later I realised those lumps had gone.
But it took for a long time those joints ache backed to normal.

It was about ten years ago, even now this age, I do not have any joint ache.
Hair condition is normal.

I do not think this would happen to people who have common sense and drink sensible amount of water.
I was very silly and ignorant.

Thank goodness for my friend who found the magazine article.

This is a repeat. But just in case anybody is interested in drinking water.

Toothpaste is suppose to work.

I started this skincare regime a couple weeks ago,eating food good for my skin,drink loads more water,cleanse tone and moisture every day,face scrub once a week and steam my face once a week. It does seem to be working a bit but I say it will take a few more weeks before my skin improves.

Luckily, I never had it too bad.

oh yeah, Ive heard that one too!

I stopped eating sweets/crisps/biscuits and stopped drinking sugary drinks. It worked a lot.

how do crips and sugary stuff have to do wirth spots lol :joker:

After cleansing the face try either of these as a healing moisturiser:

3 drops bergamot and 2 drops chamomile essential oils in 30ml of sunflower oil, if you have it pierce a vitamin E capsule and add the contents as well.

or

2 drops each lavender and mint 1 drop lemon essential oils in 30 ml sunflower oil plus a vitamin E capsule.

Because of the fat in them.

I've never really had spots tbh. But I use clearasil a few times a week. and the next day my skin is always in good condition.
