janellemonae:
If its normal acne ur probably overwashing ur face and using too much alcohol/drying ingredients. It will only get worse cos d dryness is producing excess oil. Ive noticed dt most acne sufferers assume they have very oily skin and thereby think it can handle all these tight dryness. It cant.

Get a very mild soap like cetaphil (all dermatologists recommend this). Wash ur face twice only (day &night) - be gentle dont overwash like ur washing a car tyre or sthn, moisturize after each wash (very important with a oilfree moisturizer). Reduce the use of all those drying acne products(alcohol, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, face masks, scrubs, toners etc.). Use them just twice a week at night. Ur skin will become fresh like a baby. True story.

Hygiene is also important. Dont touch ur face. Change ur bedsheets & pillowcase every 2 days (at least d pillowcase), wash makeup brushes at least twice a week. etc.
okay. thanks

Maybe you should try reducing oily foods and get Nizoral cream( a topical ketoconazole cream) don't use the oral ketoconazole cause it can be very fatal to your general health

joyfullyjoyous:
Used to have pimples but when I met Alhaja at Ilupeju years ago and asked what I could use, she recommended an aftershave solution which cleared all. Can't remember the name but I know it's in a white container and she sold it for N1500 then. Imagine that an aftershave solution...It had no side effect.
Where exactly is she in illupeju and how can i reach her...

I have a lot of pimples on my face. I mean as much that, I feel shy going out sometimes, I hardly look people straight on the face. it's so frustrating and depressing.
I've tried skineal, funbact A, nizoral cream, Nixoderm, Neo medrol, antibiotics and many more and yet it hasn't stopped. Now I'm just tired of trying anymore drugs or creams. Anyday it wishes to go, then it goes!
Call 07089978218 I will give you a cream to cure that.

Re: 3 Myths On Pimples You Believe But Are Not True by Chymath(f):
All our comments are good and based on our personal experiences on acne and pimples.

My experience with acne and pimples was terrible, almost affected my self confidence but I didn't give up.

I researched a lot and discovered that Pimples are caused by blocked skin pore as a result of
dirt, oil and dead cells.

Eating nuts do not cause pimples, healthy meals do not cause pimples.

Eating fried foods and other over processed foods that is what we call junk foods are
the greatest cause of acne and pimples. This is because they aggravate the oil secreting gland
called sebaceous gland to produce more oil thereby causing the skin pores to be blocked and inflamed
BOOM!!! Here comes pimples.

So what are you supposed to do?

Eat healthy meals and nuts that are in their natural state.
Drink enough water.
Wash your face regularly.
Stop popping it.
Engage in regular exercise.
Exfoliate your face
Stop using chemical filled products on your skin
Use natural products on your skin

And many other healthy habits

The natural products I used and I'm still using them are
100% organic cream (raw honey content) and Bamboo natural essence soap
Both of them are powerful perfect combination for beautiful and radiant skin.

In fact, I wrote an e-book on "How to Permanently cure acne and pimples naturally"

This is the 100% organic cream and Bamboo soap. And the e-book is 100% FREE to download
