Pimples

My friend is being killed by Pimples, she has dark spots all over her face she is 22 but she could pass for a 40 year old her face is a horrible site coz of the dark spots which made her skin look older, she has tried almost evrything to get it off no way
Can somebody suggest Something?

She should try "DERMOVATE" (the pink and green one) or try Aloe Vera ( the raw plant) or POP-UP! .

i guess she uses defferent things on her face & they seems to increase it. i.e da pimples

well i think i've naturally been blessed with really clear skin,

but i also drink alot of water, its good for your skin
eat things with anti oxidants like green tea and avocados
don't use to many random products, i suppose pro-active really works though
try hydrogen peroxide/hydrocortisone, on the dark spots

and try to see a doctor/dermatoligist

to my knowledge is doesn't bleach,
im sure u can find pro-active somewhere,

or maybe u can order it online,

proactive will do just fine. it handles all those stuff.

@ rikkyjen:

When was the last time u were in Naija?

We dont only issue those cards, we acquire merchants as well, so you can actually pay wit your MasterCard, here in Naija

     more suggestions,more confusion.i think wat your friend shud do is to see a dermatologist cos she have to undastand dat everyone's skin is different and evryone's skin select different ingredients.she will find good ones mostly in lagos and Abuja  where they hv to test her skin tone and know wat kind of ingredient will be good on her skin.whether in chemical forms or herbal.but she have to bear in mind dat its goin to be xpensive and she hv to also know dat dere re so many faked Dermo in abuja and lag.wen she goes,she shud check 4 certificates on the wall.cert of completion of course abroad.also wth pictures of verification during course training and pictures of b4 and after clients though they mite not show her pictures of prominent people.
      if she cant go tru dat process then i will advice dat b4 she tries anytin on her face,she shud try it on the inside of her hand to chek 4 irritancy and am sure is due to excess trials on her face dat has made the situation look worst.

The best way to prevent acne is to take proper care of your skin using the right products

There sure is a lot of confusion out there regarding acne prevention.  Some people say to scrub your face all day, eat the right foods, avoid sweat, exercise, and on and on.  Unfortunately, these have nothing to do with acne prevention.

Acne prevention is best accomplished by following a skin care routine that incorporates three basic steps.  In one form or another, the skin must be cleansed, treated, and protected.  As long as these steps are followed, a person's acne should improve.

Acne Prevention Step 1:  Cleansing

Due to what we know about how acne is formed, it is pretty clear that it makes sense to gently cleanse your skin on a regular basis.  This doesn't mean scrubbing a way at your face 5 times a day.  It means using a good cleansing product to gently wash away dead skin cells and impurities.  Also, it doesn't hurt if your cleanser contains proven acne fighters like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Acne Prevention Step 2:  Treatment

For optimum acne prevention, the skin must be treated with something that minimizes bacteria (like benzoyl peroxide) or slows down the shedding of skin cells (like salicylic acid).  There are many fine manufacturers of these products who will provide guidelines as to how long these products should remain on the face and how often they should be used.

Acne Prevention Step Three:  Protection

The last step in acne prevention is protection.  By protection, we mean that the face should be properly moisturized and protected from the sun's damaging rays.  There are a great number of quality moisturizers available that contain sunscreens in them.  Another thing to keep in mind, many acne treatments tend to dry out the skin a bit making moisturizers extra important.

There you have it, a simple 3 step plan for acne prevention.  Although individual products can be bought for each step, we would recommend using an acne kit that provides all three.  We have ranked and reviewed what we feel are the 5 best acne prevention kits or systems currently on the market.  That would be a good place to start in your search for effective acne prevention products.

Proactiv® Solution - Complete Acne Prevention System

U know what?There is no amount of medications or cream prescribed if she presses her pimples I tell u there would be no solution.
1st thing is that she should try as much as possible to avoid pressing or squeezing it out as this makes the skin wrinkle and it will result in scar or spot which is very difficult to  clear.
Wash your face as often as possible,avoid oily things like groundnut,butter margarine,vegetable oil e.tc
After all these are done,then u can now use any cream or medication earlier prescribed.
I don't think her  face can be as bad as mine,but I noticed if I avoided pressing it my face looks better and those pimples will dry up themselves .But if I pressed them Oh my God!my face will look messy.
