ACNE >:{ Anonymous
I have acne. My pimples come and go, but I can't seem to get rid of my blackheads.

Any advise?

I can take more pictures if needed.

Please feel free to ask me questions.

go to your doc and ask for amnesteem.

Your skin looks ok. You've got really mild acne if anything. Just wash your face with a mild soap that won't overdry your skin, and try not to touch your face at all.

Do you really think I need something that strong for blackheads?

I used Accutane a long time ago, when my acne was worse. It dried up my entire face, especially my lips, and I couldn't even smile.

That went on for a few months before I gave up. The results weren't good enough for the cost, and the side effects.

I've been using AcneFree Severe for about a month and a half, but I haven't noticed results.

I've just been scrubbing my face lately with the two facial products on the left, and the one on the right is for my body.

I have some acne on my shoulders and upper back, and some blackheads in that area too.

Is that a tool?

You're being paranoid, your skin's fine trust me. You have like two or three microscopic pimples.

It's not so much the pimples, but the blackheads.

I have a LOT on my nose, cheeks, and chin.

your skin isn't even that bad, just use a good rinse and rub on some acne spot treatment directly on the pimples.

my girlfriend orders this shit for me from avon called Avon Clearskin, it comes in a little tube. it contains 2% salicylic acid and it's got gel consistency. basically at the first sign of a pimple, i rub it on once or twice a day on the spot and it dries the skin out. then the pimple doesn't stay for nearly as long as normal, half the time they don't come out fully at all.

I use a washcloth once a day to scrub my skin, with the facial stuff I posted.

I think I might be scrubbing too much, but I haven't noticed any damage.

I also wash my face like 2-4 times a day, and shower 2-3 times a day.

I hope you work out or do physical labor for a living. Showering 3 times a day otherwise is kind of crazy.

That's too much, shower and wash your face twice a day max. Make your shower hot to open your pores. Use a fairly simple acne face wash with only ONE medical ingredient. You don't want the shit with tonnes of chemicals or the ones with fancy "micro cleansing blah blah" terms written on the package, they're bullshit. And lastly always use a non carcinogenic moisturizer and gently rub it into your skin after your shower.

seriously; your skin looks fine. i find that this stuff called Desert Essence "thoroughly clean" face wash is pretty good for blackheads, it sucks the stuff right out of your face but not in a bad way. all other soaps i've used didn't do a damn thing. i can't find a big picture of it.. you can buy it at grocery stores. http://www.desertessence.com/

Basically I take 2 showers no matter what, and I'll take an additional after I bike.

When I bike, I usually bike 10-15 miles, which can be 1-2 hours of cardio.

I lift some weights and do push ups and sit ups, but I mostly run, bike, and swim or skateboard.

I don't know if I need moisturizer. I guess I can cut down on washing my face, I just really don't like being dirty.

I live in Florida, so it gets really hot and humid and shit.

Your skin really isnt that bad at all.

You may be washing your face too many times, You can actually over wash your Skin. Think of it as over watering a plant :/

Just because you have a few spot doesnt automatically mean your skin is going to be classed as oily, Sometimes irritations are caused my skin that is dry and is not getting enough moisture - you may be stripping the skin of any oils by washing it so much.

Try and work out by noting what your skin is prone to, ie oily? visible dryness etc and use products to help with that. Don't exfoliate EVERY day but do use a foam wash/toner and moisturiser everday. /overtyped.
Btw im a gal not a purdyboy.

Ah okay, I didn't realize that I was over washing.

My skin used to get dry with other products, but with just washing it and scrubbing it, I don't think it gets dry.

I think I get oily pretty easily.

So if I wash my face 2 times out of the shower, and 2 times when I'm in the shower, 4 times total, is that too much?

Thats WAY too fucking much. I wash my face maybe once a week and it keeps it alot clearer than when i washed it every day.
When your in the shower, just let your skin get cleared out by the steam/water. You really dont need to wash it that much, otherwise your going to be overdrying it, especially if your not moisturising after your shower.
And blackheads, just squeeze em as often as you can, and once you've sqeezed, then wash your face.

I'm not interested in ego boosts.

Believe me if I wanted an ego boost I wouldn't be here.

Anyway, I suppose I do have enough information.

I'll stop washing as much as I do, and I'll look into some of the products recommended.

If you cleanse your face some 3 times a day and have some acne-lotion (Zapzit worked for me) then you should be all set.

My teeth are ugly. So is my smile.

quit being an attention seeking twit. you say things like "i'm ugly" to hear people say you aren't. well they're not going to tell you the truth if they know you feel like shit, so that ensures you always get a compliment. if you told me you were ugly or you said something like "damn i suck." i would just agree with you. stfu & gtfo

no need to cop an attitude with me little boy. and no, nothing is ever that simple. you said what you said because you were fishing for forced compliments (although in this case you may be a bit of a sadist by saying those things on 4chan.)

either way, now you're being a royal schmuck, attempting to look uncontrollable thus unpredictable (which would lend itself to your "boo hoo i'm ugly but i don't really say that because i want compliments it was just a simple sentence.")

Why would I be here if I was looking for compliments?

Why would I post unflattering pictures if I wanted to show myself in a positive light?

Obviously some people take my acne less seriously then I do, and perhaps that does make me feel better about it.

What is the point of criticizing me if it's not positive criticism? Are you just bored?

Not a bad guy persay, but more like an attention whore who's posting way too many pictures of themselves claiming to be ugly when people are saying otherwise.
