Please, I’m really tired.

These pimples just won’t let me rest. I’ve tried different soaps, cleansers, and creams – some expensive, some cheap – and still, no major difference. One will go, and before I even smile small, three more will show face. 😩

I’ve cut down on oily food, tried drinking more water, even stopped using certain products… but nothing seems to be working long-term.

Is it stress? Hormones? Witchcraft? I don’t even know again. 😭

Please, if you’ve struggled with bad acne and actually found something that worked, kindly share. I don’t mind natural or over-the-counter options, I just need honest advice.

Let’s help each other abeg. What’s your skincare routine like? What finally worked for you?

Stop applying things on your face; always wash your face with hot water at night and in the morning and keep your face dry.

You have an oily face, it normal for your age range, it will clear as you grow older, avoid oily foods

You can attend to this internally and externally.
Internally: has to do with what you take in, invest whether drugs or food.
1. De-worm you self. Choose which one works well for you, fruits and juicing fast or herbal solution (e.g. aloe, bitter leaf, etc custom mixes) or use pharmaceutical drugs like 'combatrin' or the likes
2. Please or purge yourself: similarly choose which one works well for you. Either Juice fast using fruits, or herbal mix or pharmaceutical solution (medicine). If you can help it let the purge or cleanse go on for 2 days, during this time it is very important you drink salt and sugar solution to replace the fluid and electrolytes your are losing from your body while purging if not person fit kpai o. Lucozade boost is an alternative, fruits also work wonders. And drink plenty water.
3. Maintenance: Reduce how you consume oily or fried foods. If you consume a lot at once, starve yourself of oily foods and make sure the body makes use of that excess fat.
4. Maintenance 2: You have to empty your bowels regularly at least once everyday. When you don't visit the loo to do number 2, you will accumulate the excess oil it is trying to expel. To help with bowel movements you need to drink water enough and fruit and fibrous nutrition in moderation, do not overdo. For example, if you are using fruits, you can use cucumber, eat cucumber first, then now eat the main food you want to eat, then you can top it with cucumber again, drink water. (Maybe during war is it ok not to do number 2 everyday at least once, imo... )
External:
1. Get a handkerchief to clean your oily face, periodically after washing your face every 3-8 hours. When the handkerchief starts becoming oily or sticky wash it with soap right there where you wash your face. After cleaning your face, do not leave it dry, leave some water on it so that it is damp not wet and dripping o just clean it and leave it damp, else you could dry out your skin and you don't want that, do you (especially in an AC environment)
2. When you bath wash your face only entirely with soap 3 out of 4 days. Scrub your face 1 out of 4 days making sure the soap catch the sponge well and your sponge is sterile or pre-rinsed.

You clearly do not understand what causes acne or anything about how to treat it, do you? 🥱🥱🥱🥱

➜It works for me, researched backed. I even use physics based principles for gut cleanse, where it is applied in soil mechanics as well. This does not cover easily irritable skin btw. Also, disclaimer: I am clearly not a dermatologist so I would gladly stand aside for any one more qualified than moi. So fire away Kobojunkie, 🤗

Kobojunkie:
You don't need to be a dermatologist to have basic knowledge of what acne is and what causes it.

➜Aah, ah, this is what my procedures addresses, the oi control part, exception of the hormonal part (cortisol and what not). Coincides with my research. You just validated it. Tomato, Tomato, jeez kokojunkie, same thing, different cheaper method.

Kobojunkie:
Na this kain advise dey cause many Nigerians to die needlessly. So instead of well-researched solutions, you give to him what you think worked for you, knowing fully well that there may be so many variables that could cause the same to instead exacerbate OP's own condition? 😩😩😩

JustcallmeFavou:
How I curbed mine some years back;
1. Stop scrubbing your face with your bathing sponge. Use only soap to wash your face
2. Don't apply cream on your face at night. Allow it to breathe
3. Have a separate cream for your face, and apply it during the day alone
4. Use facial cleaner either Babyface the lemon type or clean &clear before bathing
5. Eat fruits, and vegetables more
6. If possible avoid or, reduce fried foods

Terrible advice because dry skin leaves the skin prone to acne.

Fruits don't keep acne at bay... as the infection starts in the skin and not in the stomach. Also, friend foods don't affect your skin as the oil your skin produces, which can easily be obtained from your body's fat stores.
