Basically I want an inexpensive way to improve my skin.
I have large pores around my nose which is rough, oily and sensitive!, whiteheads and just not very clear skin.
Can you suggest a preferably natural product which will work or at least improve my skin?
I currently use baking soda before bed each night which helps a lot but my pores are still visible.
Has anything worked for you?
any help will be appreciated x
I drink lots of water, take a multi vit and I eat LOTS of fruit and veg and i’m pretty much on a raw diet sometimes!
At your age, your skin is going to be hard to control since your hormone levels are going to be swinging all over the place, so don’t expect perfection.
The best way to treat acne is with products that contain benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or salycylic acid. Not natural, but effective.
This is a natural but expensive product for skin care.

The last few days, my face has been throwing a fit! I never had acne during my teenage years besides a few bumps or blackheads here and there (I’m 24 now). It seems like since last weekend I’ve been getting these large red bumps on my face- and I’m having a hard time leaving the house (even for a lunch date)! Even with the use of “on the spot” treatments, it seems like they are spreading. It seemed like it started when I had switched face washes and thought maybe I was having a bad reaction- so I just switched again hoping it will take care of it. They don’t seem to have a “core” or “head” and are just large red bumps under the skin that won’t surface. My concern is how fast they seem to be spreading. I’ve been stressed and my menstrual cycle has been a little off too, so stress may be the cause, but I’ve NEVER had a reaction like this before. Any quick-fixes, remedies or advice?? It’s terribly uncomfortable, especially since I usually have really good skin.
Thanks!!
This is what I suggest:
Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. These two things are very inexpensive and it’s very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.
Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON‘T EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored. But this is not recommended to everyone because it can make it worse.
Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you’re prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. THey might not work for you, so try different products. Don’t use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don’t scrub too hard when you wash your face, because it can irritate your skin.
Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one or two tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don’t pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars. Zinc can be found in many types of fishes.
If you have sensitive skin, don’t use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands are full of bacteria and oils. Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they’re are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.
An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water. Aloe vera helps acne scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.

Is this adult acne? Can it be prevented? What is the best treatment?
I am a 57 year old female and in the last few years I have been getting bumps on my face that seem like pimples forming but they never come to a head (actually one did after about 2 years). Plus, they never seem to go away. I have about 6 or 8 of them. Anybody else have this?
It doesn’t sound like adult acne if they are lasting about 2 years. It sounds like they are Sebaceous Cysts. Sebaceous cysts will last a long time like that & if you feel them they would feel kind of like a movable lump under the skin. They are not harmful & usually the dermatologist can remove them. I have adult acne where I get these cyst-like acne bumps & they never last more than 3-4 months before they go away. Hope this helps a little.
