When you wash your face, use non-drying products. Clean your face well, but be gentle. Exfoliate, moisturize. It could be hormones, stress or what you're eating/not eating. Visit a reputable Dermatologist. Good luck, OP.

No, that's one of the misconceptions about moisturizing, that if your face is oily you don't need to moisturize ...aka. that moisturizing oily skin is bad. This isn't true. When you wash your face your skin'll be a little dry. Even if you use "non-drying" products the process of washing your face'll strip it of its natural oils, primarily sebum. When you use drying products on your face, wash your face too much or too harshly, your skin'll produce more oil because it's trying to make up for the dryness you've caused. So you need to put some moisture back into it, otherwise your skin will overcompensate and release even more oils to make up for the dryness, making it very oily! This's why moisturizing is good. The key's to find the right moisturizer for you and one that won't clog your pores ( "non-comedogenic" ) and cause more problems for your skin.

I've really learn from dis,tanxx

Pls I need to get rid of black spots left by acne. ANy suggestions please? Counting on you guys

sophia kalu: Pls I need to get rid of black spots left by acne. ANy suggestions please? Counting on you guys

Things to buy:
Buy lactic acid peel 30% or 40%. You could also buy glycolic acid peel 30% or 20%. Glycolic is stronger than lactic, so you have to be careful in your application.
Buy a fan brush for applying the acid
Baking Soda
Cotton balls, I prefer the round ones by swisspers.
A fade cream with 2% or 3% hydroquinone.
Exfoliating soap. I recommend the one by Makari.

Application:
Twice a week:
First step: After shower or whatever, apply the lactic acid to that area(face, upper back, or wherever you have the acne spot) using the fan brush. The first time you use it, try just 2min, with time you would figure out how long your face can take the burning sensation. Never go beyond 10 min on your face though, remember the face is extremely sensitive. If the acid peel spends too much time on your face, your face is going to be a disaster, and you'll have to see a doctor

Second step: Put a little of the baking soda in a tiny amount of water. Don't let it be watery, let it be slightly sticky. Then apply on affected area with cotton balls. You would feel strange, the two chemicals would react but after a few seconds, you won't feel the effect of the acid peel again.
Wash your face thoroughly, in fact apply the baking soda mixture again and wash.

Third step: Then apply your 2% or 3% hydroquinone fade cream.

Everyday: Do this twice a day. In the morning after shower, and before you go to bed.
After washing the affected area with exfoliating soap, all you have to do is apply the 2% or 3% hydroquinone fade cream.
I recommend Nadinola extra strength fade cream, ambi fade cream, and skin success. Go for Nadinola

P.S: try this process on a small part of your body to see if your skin can adapt or your skin doesn't react. *Back of palm *

Are you oily in your t-zone, cheeks, fore head or the whole of your face is oily??

What exfoliating soap have you used in the past?? Do you eat a lot of peanut or oily food??

What lotion do you use?? Do you use lotion?? Tell me the types of products you've used in the past so I can know the ones I should ask you to try.

How serious is your acne?? Do you have the tiny-tiny ones that spreads all over your face, or you have the gigantic painful ones?? Have you gone to see a dermatologist?? Have you noticed a larger opening in your facial pores??

I really think water is an under-appreciated part of our lives.

@OP - Wash your face regularly using SebaMed. It costs just about 900 Nigerian Naira if I'm correct, and it's available in lots of stores around the country. It really sinks deeper to unclog the pores of the skin and give a refreshing feel.

Afterwards, remember to moisturize your skin with Palmer's, Dove's or Jergens' Cocoa Butter. This should help your skin heal quickly and lead to the disappearance of the acne scars.

Minimize your exposure to the sunlight, as it would only make your scars become more pronounced.

Cut a tomato in half and rub it gently around your entire face every morning.

Also, take lots and lots of water.

The results would shock you in 3 months.

I have no acne or acne scars cuz I never had them during puberty. I guess mine's genetic.
But following these steps above would definitely help you regain your fresh skin and confidence.

Cheers.

Are you for real?!!

This person hasn't done peels before so 40% 50% is a no no. It can lead to burns or post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (which can take months to be properly cleared).

She needs to start off at a lower percentage to introduce her skin to it and see how she reacts to it. You don't want a skin worse off than you started with.

For beginners, lactic & glycolic acids should be started off at a percentage not higher than 20%. It can then be increased gradually.

Procedures involving acids should mostly be carried out by dermatologists. But if you're going to home use it, RESEARCH and be safe.

I started with lactic acid 40% and had it for 2 min. And my skin was fine. I did my first at a spa......

@Sophia: listen to abil. Application of acid peel is really dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
You can start with glycolic acid for 20% and lactic acid for 30%.
I still maintain glycolic is stronger. #fact!

Let's do this, you can still buy your lactic acid or glycolic acid of 40%. What you then do is DILUTE with water.
For instance:
Using the acid's bottle cover. Pour a cap full of acid peel into a bowl or whatever and then measure a cap full of water and pour it into same bowl to dilute.


Good luck!

AbiL, u got anything else to say?!!

40% at a spa is fine. They know what they are doing with acids.

I did not disagree with you that glycolic is stronger than lactic. Of course it is! Glycolic peels the epidermis, it obviously will be


&& yes it can be diluted, but I doubt she knows how the acids work let alone how to use distilled water to get the right percentage. Therefore I'll advice her to get the correct (low percent) acid, to try it first before diving in head first and becoming a chemist


Oh yeah.. In addition, a patch test should be done before you start rubbing acids on your skin.

If you get it wrong, it won't be a pretty site. You will end up spending more money to correct the mess.

thanks so much dearies! I actually tot abt the %of those recommended peels, actually my scars are not so bad(they get covered up wen I use foundation). I must say I appreciate ur suggestions. I have also found a simple regimen that seems to be going just fine with my skin.I cleanse my face with cetaphil cleanser(to remove make up)then I mix baking soda and the cetaphil on my palm and use as a mild exfoliating scrub, I wash and follow with teatree oil soap(I let it sit for some minutes before washing) then I moisturize with cetaphil lotion but I apply a fading cream to the areas were I have acne scar. Fourtnightly, I use a mask made of oatmeal and glycerine (I use d swissgarde glycerine and royal jelly) I don't forget to take my vitamins though.

Most of us are exposed to sunlight everyday regardless whether we are indoors or outdoors. If we take no proactive action, our skin will absorb excessive ultraviolet rays, causing the formation and accumulation of melanin, then the appearance of dark spots and dull skin. Even the best of soaps/bath gels can leave behind invisible traces of dirt, makeup and pollution on your face, which ultimately blocks absorption of lotion and encourage bacterial growth. Without cleansing, exfoliation and moisturizing regularly, your skin will eventually become loose, tired, dull and probably scarred by acne/blackheads. Thus, sun protection and healthy skin measures are required for our skin.
