CREEP
what does one do to get rid of black heads and body acne? I wash everyday and keep things pretty clean. id like better skin but i don't find the whole pealing layers of skin off to eliminate said problem appealing. I don't want the look bale has in American Psycho, where in the beginning he goes through all that to make his face have this weird shiny gloss look afterwards.

Aloe vera. As body wash, in capsule form (ingested), however you want to take it. You should notice effects almost immediately.

For body acne, use a mild glycerin soap. All that salicylic acid scrub shit or even semi-harsh washes will make it worse.

Something that really helps is changing the way you shower. Make sure to take them long and hot. Your pores open up and let go of the stuff clogging them when your skin is nice and relaxed and saturated with the water. Shampoo/conditioner, shave etc and then the very last thing you should do is do your body wash routine so that your skin has had the maximum amount of time to open up. When you get out always use a little lotion because dead dry skin is one of the things the bacteria in your pores loves to feed on.

Is it bad if I take ice cold showers every day and never take hot showers?

I don't know? Everyone is different and if your skin is fine with ice cold showers then that's fine (though it does make you weird as shit. What are you a priest?) If you are indeed having skin problems trying an expanded hot shower might help.

I just like cold showers. They aren't masochistic if you just give them a shot. You know how those people go to icy places to swim in the water? Yeah. It's like that. A huge cool blast of refreshing everything. AWESOME.

That's fine then it does however make it harder to clean out your pores when your skin is all puckered up. Do what works for you!

shiny gloss is a mask, it feels good.

I alternate between washing with nivea for men facial scrub for normal skin and nivea for men facial wash. Once a month I buy a mud mask to exfoliate and I also use a facial peel once a week. Once in a while I might get a pimple because of the work I do (food service), so I'll use a sparing amount of astringent.

no after the whole cleaning process is done. iv seen people with this glossy look when walking around in malls and shit. and from my understanding of explanation is that it removes the dead skin but also some of the living skin cells. which leaves fresh flesh.

You're supposed to take the mask off before you actually get ready, people who walk around with it on are either 1. Dense or retarded or something or 2. Not wearing the masks, maybe too much lotion, which leads me back to the former choice.

Op, what you might want to do are a few of these things. Take a long hot shower like>>392289said, use Glycerin soap, and something with aloe vera in it. I know this has all been mentioned, but after you do so, turn the shower to cold. It'll be really refreshing, and what it does is close the pores after you've cleansed. Do make sure you moisturize, don't touch your face more than you need to, and use nice products. The cheap shit will get you no where, as it usually contains harsh chemicals. Hope this helps a bit.
