It's d devil that causes acne!!!

How else can you explain sleeping in d night with a fresh face and waking up only to discover that ur face yaff spoil overnight

Hi

Phemi93:


How please?

Before going to bed, wash the face with soap and water.
Apply honey all over and leave for 30 minutes.

The honey acts on the skin bacteria (S. aureus) and also moisturises the skin.

let me help out someone as a person who once suffered from acne time past.

Your diet is the major cause of acne! its not a myth its a careful examination of my diet and after study for a Period of time i came to this conclusion.

* Avoid sugar!

* Avoid gala ! yes gala! ( i can't really tell if it's the flour or the beef that cause the breakout though)

* Stop using vegetable oil and start using refined soya oil for your cookings!

* Avoid margarine (butter) and ground nut!

* Reduce your milk intake to lowest minimum!

* Try to get enough enough sleep cause stress cause breakout!

* Drink enough water!

* Your bedspread (bedsheets) shouldn't be used more than 3-7 days before you change it!

* Wash your towel every 7 days ( try to get a smaller towel to ease washing for you) !

* This happens to me i don't know about you when my hair is full without using a salon it cause breakout but as soon as i shave my head it wipes off!

___________________________________________________


Though, it might look hard to follow but once you're able to follow it religiously you will notice a change and the change will make you want to keep following till you don't find it hard to follow again! key thing is discipline!

Forget about all this creams of nixoderm, benzoyl, epiderm, sivoderm etc! monitor your diet they trigger it! Safe everyone! i love you don't feel inferior! don't let it silence your voice in public! don't let you become timid!


live life happy cause you deserve all the joy!

OEPHIUS:
Acne, acne, acne...I have been a chronic acne sufferer for about 5 years now. Being a Nigerian suffering from acne/pimples hasn't bern easy, and no I do not mean all those fine freshed face girls like my friend (chioma) who will see one dot of pimple on her face and start freaking out..lol, I mean like bad severe scar leaving pimples. In secondary school, I was a fresh faced and all of a sudden some days to my graduation I developed really bad cystic acne (If not that I was such an I don't care, it was bad enough to ruin my graduation). Over the years, it got pretty bad that whenever I looked at my face in the mirror I would literally burst into tears, people didn't help my situation either everyone kept asking me, Nelly, what is all this on your face? kai I suffered (people really do need to learn how to talk). My acne led to endless research and experimentation, (I think it might have contributed to my product junkie issues) and trust me when I say I wasted a lot of money and time because I was desperate.

MYTH 1: HOME REMEDIES DO NOT WORK FOR ACNE
There are a lot of you tube videos and articles online that make us so convinced that these home remedies will work and so we go out there and buy all the lemons, honey, avocado, yoghurt and eggs and instead of eating it, we sacrifice it for the sake of good skin, kai, it will not work infact it may end up clogging your pores if you have sensitive skin and you'll end up making things worse.

EXCEPTION: Apple cider vinegar, as a result of its acidic pH mixed with water makes for a good toner for all skin types, this however will not cure your acne but i will make it appear better.

MYTH 2 : THE MORE YOU WASH YOUR FACE THE LESSER YOUR ACNE
Nigerians believe that once you have acne or pimples, it means you are dirty. If you have acne prone skin, as a matter of fact you should wash your face at most every 12 hours, that is two times a day. Washing your face too often will irritate your pores and make them produce more sebum which will cause acne. This brings me to my next acne myth.

MYTH 3 : DO NOT MOISTURISE YOUR FACE WHEN DEALING WITH ACNE.
Thou shall not moisturize skin if thou haveth acne, especially if thou skin art oily..LIE!!!. People with oily skin are very prone to acne and it can be caused by excessive sebum production. Sebum production is worse if the skin has no moisture at all. Moisturizing your face can help to reduce the oiliness of your skin as well as your acne because your skin doesn't feel the need compensate for the dryness of the skin as it is already moisturized. The key is to get moisturisers which are non comedogenic and hypoallergenic that are good for acne prone skin. I will have a post on moisturizers for acne prone skin soon


MYTH 4 : FACIAL PEELS CAN TREAT ACNE
Chemical peels are really good for acne especially glycolic acid peels but they do not cure acne, they just make the skin appear better. It is a really expensive tempoary fix to a permanent problem.


MYTH 5 : DIET AND ACNE ARE RELATED
We should all eat healthy because what we put in our body reflects on our bodies, this is true but in the case of acne it is very hormonal and gene related and food has nothing to do with it "most" of the time. I remember when I started having acne and everyone told me to stop groundnut and stew, still nothing happened. Dairy on the other hand is my acne trigger and is for many people actually, so apart from diary most other foods in Nigeria don't affect hormones like milk may have the power to.


MYTH 6 : ACNE HAS NO CURE
This is untrue, accutane cures acne but it is unavailable in Nigeria and even overseas it has to be given under prescription as it can cause a lot of health effects if not take correctly. Also with time if treated correctly (especially with benzoyl peroxide) the bacteria causing acne will die for good.

MYTH 7 : LEAVE YOUR ACNE UNTREATED WITH TIME IT WILL GO.
This myth is only true if you are 12 years old, for my home girls in their 20s, you need to do something about it. Don't leave your acne untreated, it will not go automatically. People kept telling me not to treat my acne, because they feel that once my skin gets used to the acne it will eventually go....Trust me if you don't treat it, it will get worse.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you learnt something today.

Try Damatol Medicated Cream,it Worked On My Dandruff When I Was Teen,and Recently Destroyed My Pimples. Thank Me Later.

eating fried eggs eggs and groundnut, oil or vegetable oil except probably cannolla oil will trigger your acne because of cholesterol don't let kings and mammador lie to you they both contain cholesterol na power oil even worse pass...I cook strictly with Palm oil and eat egg once in a while... and that has been helping.. acne is said to be caused by several reasons like hormonal issues, menstral issues, sebaceous issue like my own facial skin produces a lot of oil, and also hereditary issue..people need to be aware that acne vulgaris is caused by different factors...

I can truly relate. I thought I had a good skin till I started having acne last year. It messed up my confidence big time. At a point I was depressed, I spent lots of money on topical treatments, more than $1000 just to have my perfect face back. I even tried glycolic acid on my face, it worsened the condition. Instead of getting better, I had scars and hyperpigmentation. Then I researched and I read about alpha lopic or glutathione pills (antioxidant pills), that was my saving grace. I didn't want to try accutane because once you stop the medication, acne comes back. My face is all clear now, dark spots have radically disappeared and no more acne.

Bro, spot on. I suffered this issue for many years( still experiencing it but to a minimum though) and it is really affecting my confidence level with the opposite sex. A doctor told me my hair and my food intake is a big trigger. I try to carry out all those things you listed but it's darn hard to keep up ,because sometimes u just realise almost all food u eat contains something u aren't meant to eat.
I really envy those that eat anything and still have that fresh face. I dont know how long this acne will last. Really frustrating

So I'll wash it off after 30 minutes or leave it till the following day?

Soy is not good for women. It has too much estrogen and can trigger breast cancer. I remember when I drank soy milk, I used to have breast pain. When I checked it online I saw that it was full of estrogen

Nawa oh. Nigerians are too spiritual sha. The Devil has really suffered in our hands. Oyibo people no get devil disturbing them? At least I haven't heard them accuse any devil before.

It can either be caused by sleeping on a dirty pillow case or consuming very oily foods like groundnuts and butter prior to that morning.
I did these observations countless times.
