im4clearskin answers:

Alright, I’m going to just spit out all my advice at once :)

1) no matter what studies say and what people say, fried foods and foods high in fat and calories WILL affect your skin. Acne is hereditary but not having a healthy diet is an important contributing factor. You’ve got the whole 8 glasses of water thing down so just keep up with that.

2) A homemade acne mask I love to use when my skin feels a bit dull goes as follows:
- 1 tbsp of Pumpkin puree (or 2 if you’re doing it with a friend)
- 1 tbsp of Whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp of organic honey (doesn’t HAVE to be organic though)
- 1 tbsp of Vinegar
Mix it all together and you have your mask. Coat your face in a thin layer, leave it on for 15 minutes, rinse it off with warm water and you’re done!

3) As for skincare products and skincare regimes, I say it time and time again, the simpler the better. I used to use products like Clinique 3-step routine and every drugstore brand available, but now all I use is a Nivea refresh toner and this miracle lotion called “Nature’s Aid”.

This is just my advice, feel free to tweek it to your specific needs (But I highly suggest the mask, it smells AWFUL but it really helps clear acne..just dont do it too often. Like once every week or every other week)

Ruth asks…

Pls let me know some Good home facial tips and treatments?

Can anyone tell me how to do facial at home, I have normal to oily skin, and i also have some marks of pimples on my face , pls suggest me some tips to get rid of these marks and also how to get glowing and clear skin? Currently I m Residing in US so pls tell me some home facial kits found in stores?

im4clearskin answers:

You could buy a good almond cream from the Stores. Check that it is not too fragrant;should have a mild pleasant aroma. Take a little from the container in a small bowl and dip finger tips in t o it. Start working from your chin in small small circular movements and gradually rise up to cheek and give a press with mild pressure in the spot on either side of the eyes without removing ur hand. Work with both hands on both sides of the face. Similarly start from the center of the fore head with both hands and come down in circular movements till you reach the same spot near the eyes where u had pressed before;press there mildly now. When ou feel, ur hand is getting heated up, wet it with some ice cubes and take little more cream and start over again. All cream used on face should become invisible in ur face. Then take an ice cube and roll all over the face and dry it with a towel. The final thing would be to apply Multhani Mitti or Multhani Matti, however u call it, mix this brown powder with rose water and use a small brush to apply over the face. Wash it once it is dry. You can also add sandal powder to the paste provided u get good face sandal powder and not the one for pooja….
Hope this will help you…..do this once every 15-20 days….Good Luck

Your Questions About My Clear Skin

Ken asks…

what is an effective way to get clear skin without using chemical based products?

so i don’t have severe acne or anything, but my skin isn’t clear.
like no big pimples or anything, just little annoying bumps i cant get rid of.
ive used lots of products that dried my skin.
so I’m laying off the chemicals and going for something natural.

if you guys know any natural ways to get a clear face pleaaazz let me know.
as for the products, I’m not looking for any unless they’re something natural unusual and effective.
thanks peoples!

im4clearskin answers:

Try googling this: healing benefits of cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper is an amazing “body cleanser” and when your body is clean, your pores will be cleaner, your blood, etc. I have two kids, one is 16 and one, 22- they both thought I was crazy but in desperate times, they tried it. If you put 1/16 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in some room temp water (8 oz.) WITH some lemon juice/for taste- you will see clarity in your skin. (little hint: drink it with a straw/ it goes down faster and has less “lasting taste”).
You can also google: healing benefits of apple cider vinegar /also called ACV on some websites.

Linda asks…

How do i get nice clear skin?

Ok so i have light dry skin with a little bit of acne. So i really want nice n clear skin soon. So is their any remeidies or somethin? Some products i could use? and i want somethin that clears my skin like an a week or so. Any suggestions?

im4clearskin answers:

Accutain worked wonders for me. I know there are a lot of people saying bad things about it but I’d love to get back on it again. I was on it for 8 months and my skin was very clear. I went 2 years before I saw another break out. It does have some negative side effects but the only thing that bothered me was my lips cracked and my nose bleed every morning. But if you don’t want to go that way try using purpose soap. That’s what my dr told me to use. Don’t use any of those OTC creams. I will just give you a rash.

Your Questions About Doxycycline Makes Acne Worse

Laura asks…

what to do for cystic acne on back?

a teen family member has cystic acne on their back. It covers their back and its red, deep and a couple look blackish. They went back on doxycycline, but in the few days since they have been taking it they are itching and miserable on their back. I put some oil free moisturizer on their back. The doxycycline is from last year when the doctor had put them on it. (left over) Im going to take the to the doctor next week to see what else to do again. Their pediatrician (hes 16) wouldnt even look at his back, and said the acne on his face wasnt that bad. I guess we will go to the dermotologist again instead. I dont know if acutane is the solution or just suffer through this? He is embarrased to go swimming.

I would welcome any natural solutions as well. Keep in mind this acne is cystic and deep and ALL over his back. Ive heard oregano pills help? but that you have to make sure they dont interfere with Iron absorbtion?

im4clearskin answers:

The dermatologist will help. There are many things to try before resorting to accutane. Oregano pills won’t do anything but waste your money.

Mary asks…

RETIN a MICRO .04% & BENZACLIN?

I have moderate acne and my dermatologist prescribed benzaclin in the morning and retin a micro .04% at night. I dont know if it’s because i have really sensitive skin or what, but I’m waking up every morning with new pimples all over my chin, nose, and forehead, and my skin is super dry, red, and BURNS and hurts if you touch it. How long will it take to start clearing up a little bit?? *P.s. I’m taking doxycycline oral to clear it up and everything is just making it worse!! I just want to know if this is normal and if it will get better soon??

im4clearskin answers:

Yes, this is a normal reaction to all three meds. You will start to notice improvement after about 4-6 weeks. You should be able to use an oil-free moisturizer for the dryness and redness. Almay and Neutrogena are good products for this.

Your Questions About Clear Skin Home Remedies Honey

Donna asks…

i need your help with my skin; no spammers.?

hi guys ! i have an issue; well, i exercise and drink water plenty. i wash my face about three times a day. i cleanse/exfoliate with honey mixed with sugar. i use apple cider to tonerize. i moisturize daily. and i put a treatment on every night. i dont get whiteheads much, but i get bump-like acne which is hard to conceal because it pops out. i tried the trick with putting a damp cottonball with salt on it. it dissolved my pimple and everything, but my skin became very flaky there. i need at home remedies to help clear up my acne. i also tried toothpaste. the reason why is that i cant go to the store, so i cant buy anything. also, please, no sites ! thannkkksss.

im4clearskin answers:

If you’re skin is flaky is probably because you’ve used a product that caused your skin to dry or irritate. Apply maybe something that does not dry your skin like maybe washing you face with milk and also tomatoes and sugar as a scrub and leave in for 10 min which are anti oxidants that help revitalize your skin.

David asks…

Best blemish products ?

I normally have okay clear skin, but I’ve app-ed to a few modeling agency’s and they all commented on my skin.
I look fine with foindation on and what not but when it’s off I have a few imperfections (Uneven skin, redness, a few blemishes) and I’ve tried every home remedy from honey, to eggs, to lemon juice, blah blah blah.

So I was wondering, what are some of the best blemish products you like best, I’ve tried proactive and it blew, but I guess I’m looking for another acne system like that or what ever works ….
Suggestions are sooo appreciated !

im4clearskin answers:

Mario badescu drying lotion. You can buy it online at their website. It’s very good as a spot treatment for mild acne. It’s a bit more expensive then stuff you can pick up at a drug store but its worth it. Also, I find it to be less harsh then the over-the-counter stuff.

Your Questions About Tips For Clear Skin Male

Charles asks…

Dancing – Suffering from achne so i dont want to wear this leotard!?

Ok,

Basically i like dancing, i like my dance teacher i like the people, i’m not that great at the minute but im enjoying it anyway. I recently, actually today have been given a white shirt…at least i thought it was a shirt until all was revealed and actually its a leotard…yeah…

incase u guys didnt know what that was, what your gona see is a really thin, skin tight white shirt with quite a lot of my back showing. I’m 18, male and my problem is that i have a lot of spots on my back, i mean its really bad… i wouldn’t mind wearing it at all infact id enjoy it so i can see myself better and see how thin i am, but i really hate ym spots and im very self concious of them.

I’ve been trying for at least 3 months now to try and get rid, even putting cream on every so often, but they just aren’t going, ive been eating quite healthily too, last time i had any crappy food was a small chips from chip shop 3 days ago, and a fizzy pop drink day before yesterday, before that i had nothing for ages..so i dont understand why its just so damn hard to get rid of them.

I had spots on my face quite badly which i got rid of, but the only place i have it now is my shoulders and back, rest of my body is clear. I need to get this sorted within the next 1-2 weeks PLEASE HELP ME!

any tips/advice/help would REALLY be appreciated thankyou!

im4clearskin answers:

Tips
>Keep eating healthily- atleast 5 fruits and veges a day, and limit sugar, salt and unhealthy fats
>Exercise regularly
>Exfoliate your back (buy an exfoliater from a pharmacy or make your own using oil and salt, or find another recipe online.)
>Try using toothpaste to dry out your pimples, remember to moisturise afterwards though
And try not to feel too self-conscious, everyone has pimples at some point in their life, and other dances will be looking at themselves, not you. Good luck!

George asks…

Need advice on cleansing and/or fasting?

I am a 39 yr old male that works out 5x a week, eats pretty healthy, no fast food, very little red meat, a lot of fruits & vegs, no white flour products, a small amout of sugars. I do however feel bloated a lot, gases, etc. I want to fast but cant really do it long term or atleast dont want to right now. I want to just drink fruit and veg juice and water (still a few cups of coffee) for 4 or 5 days. I want to loose 4 or 5lbs of belly/love handle fat I cant get rid of and clear out my system. What should I expect and do you have any advice? I am buying a juicer tonight and I guess just general fruits and vegs. I have heard I will have bad breath, film on my tongue and skin and maybe even boils from my body detoxing?? Should I expect I that? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

im4clearskin answers:

Very unlikely you will loose any body fat when fasting. Your body will go into starvation mode and you will loose muscle. The cleanse should not be viewed as a fat loss regimen. It is not.

Your Questions About Clear Skin Fast And Easy

Lizzie asks…

how do i get rid of acne fast?

My face is pretty oily so i break out EASY. It sucks… I want clear skin and I have been trying since i was ten. But it doesn’t go away. My face is currently dry because of some product i was using and my face hurts:[ How can i get rid of
Acne
Acne scars
a smooth face
redness around nose.

any products or tricks??

im4clearskin answers:

Hey, not to boast but ive have good skin all my life but i know people who have overcome it over months and what i do is drink lots of water, sometimes have hot water with lemon or even sqeeze lemon on your face [it stings a little] and then wash after 5 mins.. Sounds disgusting but it works.

Im not gonna lie, with acne, dont expect overnight success with the products from the shops. For real difference to appear it would take form over weeks but this depends on how bad it is. If its minor i would say you have no problem but if its harsh then id say use my regime with the lemon….

Other stuff ive tryed includes

-The good old yoghart trick , slap some on and wash off after a while
- Wash with warm water constantly
-Discover treatment cream ..nothing too expensive

..Hope this helped :)
p.sTrust me on the lemons!!

Sandy asks…

What a fast way you can get rid of pimples fast thats safe and easy?

Ok so skin is usally clear but every so offten like maybe every 4 months I will get 2 pimples eather under my lip or on my nose. I have 1 big one under my lip and then a really tiny 1 under that big one. How can I get it to go a way like really fast. Some people say toothpaste how does that work? and what kind. And Dont tell me to go by some like pro active or something beacuse I dont get them that offten and i dont get alot. So please help!
Well I drink alot of water a day. I mainly only drink water. I cant help it but I always touch them beacuse they itch so badly.

im4clearskin answers:

The best way is to drink plenty of water, eat a healthy diet, wash them with plain soap and water, and keep your oily hands away from them. Doing these things will reduce the chances of you getting them or shorten how long they hang around. (A lot of this also depends on your age and whether your hormones and body are still developing.)

Your Questions About Secrets To Clear Skin For Men

William asks…

Please Rate My Short Story?

A piercing cry echoed through the alleyway, though nothing was heard. The wind was a violent, mysterious howl in the background, muffling out her screams and gasps for air. As he pressed his body towards hers, an over-powering stench of fragrance seemed to leave his pores, only to travel straight through her. Silence. The fight had already been won. She gave up, exhausted from the battle. Suddenly, she felt his body relax. “Tell me you love me, Rose.” he whispered in her ear. Too frightened to speak, let alone move, the young girl remained silent. “Tell me you love me.” He repeated. She could understand, by the tone of his voice, he was becoming impatient. “Rose, my dear, do you not understand how powerful I am? All you must do is tell me you love me. It’s truly not that hard” Inhaling the pressure, the young female forced her mouth to open gently, as she formed the words: ‘I love you’ on her cold, blue lips. For a split second, she believed the tenderness, the damage had stopped. Incorrect. Dreadful, terrifying questions flooded into her confused, perplexed mind: ‘Is Mum worried? She doesn’t know where I am!?’ She couldn’t think of anything worse than a scorching, sticky, bushy man, pressed on top of her, in the middle of an alleyway. Using the last particles of her energy, she screeched a dreadful bawl. However, he simply took her hat, which she had before dropped on the concrete floor, and shoved it in her mouth. “Silence hides violence, Rose” The strange man explained. The hat had little silver bells and pretty charms attached to it. Her mother sewed them on only a week ago. She flinched as she heard the bells jingle roughly, against the silver. “Please don’t” The girl only spoke these two words, through the material of her hat: “Please. Don’t”. The mysterious, cruel, brutal man refused to listen. “I’ve done everything I can” The young female whispered to herself. “You are strong, and soon, you will be guided by a loving angel. You will be safe”… This time; she was correct.

Rose Hart sat up in bed on that Monday morning. Hart was a particularly beautiful child. She was tall and graceful, with red hair that shimmered under the blazing sunlight, as well as pale, white skin that glowed with life. Her eyes were a clear blue. They were soft, gentle, though many described them as being fairly frightening. Being only 14 years of age, many other children were extremely jealous of Rose. Some even felt threatened by her charming looks. However, she did not mean for any other being to feel worthless, revolting compared to her. Nevertheless, she was always pictured as being a ridiculously stunning girl.
“Mum, where’s my navy, cotton school jumper? It’s beginning to feel rather chilly, out in the open air today.” Rose called out to her impatient mother, from her beautifully lit bedroom. It took a few seconds before the reply bellowed from downstairs: “How am I to know, my love? You’ll have to go without it for a day. You can’t be late for your last day of year 9!”
The words hit Rose. Her last day of year 9. She remembered what that meant… Prom. Rose Hart wasn’t a vast fan of parties and gatherings. She much preferred to snuggle up in bed, reading a book with a mug of hot chocolate and a few ginger biscuits, by her side. Conversely, being on the school committee team, Rose was expected to attend. On the brightside, she often thought to herself, many people were longing to capture a glimpse of Rose’s prom gown… How could she possibly let them down?!
As a reader, you probably believe that Rose Hart was the most precious, perfect, pure child ever to walk upon Earths soil… Yet, she most certainly wasn’t. Rose was hiding a secret, a secret which she, herself didn’t ever seem to fully understand. Hart was different to other youngsters. She only seemed to contain one blemish.

Ok, So thanks for reading that ^- Im 13, and yes, this story was ALL my own work :)
Im just looking for ratings and opinions (rating out of 10 please!)
The story is a little confusing, mainly because i haven’t finished it yet.
The end of the story is at the beginning!!?
Rose (the main character) is 14 and gets raped. She does die :(
However, it then goes back in time (flash back) to that Monday morning, the same day she died.
the story guides you through Rose’s day…
Thank you all for reading this- It helps a lot :)
(COMMENTS/OPINIONS/TIPS/CORRECTIONS= YES PLEASE!!!

im4clearskin answers:

The writing is good but there are one or two descriptions that I would change e.g. “an overpowering stench of fragrance” that doesn’t sound right at all and neither does “inhaling the pressure” so try to think of something else to replace those with.
I was a bit confused with the ending – was the last paragraph the ending e.g. The one that starts “As a reader etc” or does it end with “How could she possibly let them down.” I am not a big fan of flash back scenarios but in a short story I don’t think it works very well at all and this is a short story. The very last sentence which may or may not be part of the story e.g. “She only seemed to contain one blemish” does not sound right so change ‘contain’ with something else even if it is only the word ‘have.’
There is no doubt in my mind that you can write and if you are only thirteen then you probably have a writing career in front of you. What I would do is finish the story with the sentence “How could she possibly let them down?” It is a good sentence and in my view would add a bit of a twist and give it a solid ending. I would rate it at eight out of ten – soley because of the ending as it is. I commend you on the work because you have taken the time to edit it and it shows. Good luck with your story whatever you decide to do and do keep writing.

Robert asks…

HELP ON MY STORY!! Please!?!?

This is an idea that I’ve been beating around for a while and I wondered what everyone thought about it. This could be the first chapter or a side story for later on, I just need to know if you guys think it’s worth continuing.

The lights were dim when the hoods were pulled off of their heads. “Do you think that you’re ready for this?” one of the men asked. They couldn’t tell who it was, but knew their time had finally come. “Yes” they all answered in unison. They heard someone chuckle, “All right then. Come with me and be prepared to see amazing things that you will only see once.” and with that, the group was hooded again, and led away, one by one, each by a single person, to a secret location, ready to meet their partners of mind and body…

“Come with me Daphne, you have much to see, and not very much time to see it in.” said a deep voice that she knew to be Marcus. “Where are we going?” she asked, wondering if she should say his name. She was led on to a place where no sound reached her ears, but she felt the cold, night air on her skin. “Can I have some sleeves? It’s getting cold.” she asked her man leading her. He laughed at her, “Everything has been taken care, you need not worry.”. She felt herself being led to a car, heard the engine crank up and felt herself being driven for what seemed like hours to her. Finally they arrived to their destination, and Marcus gently pulled her out of the car. “I think it’s safe for you to see this.” he said, pulling off the hood. She inhaled a deep breath of the cold midnight air and jumped up startled at the sudden change in air temperature. Marcus laughed and began to walk into the trees, not saying a word. Daphne followed him in, hoping that she was right. She followed him all the way to a clearing, where he was sitting in the middle, humming a soft melody to himself. “Come, sit and join me.” he said, patting the grass beside him. She smiled and eagerly went to join her friend. As she sat down, she felt a huge stir of energy around her. “What’s going on? Why is there so much energy?” She asked, starting to get suspicious about all of it. “Relax, we’re fine. No one’s around, just tap into the power, this is a special place.” he said, not bothering to open his eyes. “Ok…” she said, closing her eye’s and trying to tap into the power she felt around her. After a few minutes, she finally succeeded in finding the power. She felt the power surge in her own body, and soon she felt herself flying through the sky. “Welcome to my world.” said a voice from behind her. Startled she looked behind her and saw a majestic Red Hawk flying behind her. She looked around her to see if there was someone else, “No Daphne, it’s me talking. The big bird is speaking.” he said, making it sound as if she were crazy. She looked at the hawk, her mouth gaping open in shock, “What? How…I mean, how can you talk?” she finally stuttered out. “Ah, so the human does speak? I am Kathir, and I’ve waited a long time to meet my partner, Daphne.” he said with all the tenderness in the world. “You mean, you’re my partner?” she asked timidly, knowing the truth when she first started the vision. “You area hawk Daphne, do you know what it means? It means that you show courage, open mindedness and truth. In a battle you will have the ability to join forces with me and can fly, and watch the battle from a long distance away.” he said, finishing the brief explanation of their abilities together. “Did Marcus know?” she asked. “He knew that you, like him, are a creature of the Air, which means that you are loyal and virtuous.” Kathir explained. Both knew the vision was coming to an end, so they took the most of it and flew around for what seemed like forever, until Daphne heard a voice, “Come on, there’s more to see.”. She turned her head and saw Marcus looking up at her with a smile on his face. She spiraled down to him and gave him a huge hug. “What more could I want to see?” she asked him. His face turned dark for a moment, “You have to see Him.” he said simply, turning away and walking to a cave not far off. Daphne followed him, knowing that Kathir was right behind her and once they got to the cave, he landed on her shoulder and settled down for the long meeting that was ahead.
Marcus took her around so many twists and turns that she was worried that he was getting them lost inside this cave. “Only a Mentor can take his student here, one day, maybe, you’ll be able to come here with a student of your own.” he said, feeling her worry. Daphne looked dumb founded as Marcus revealed that he was to be her Mentor, he was so strong, how could she fight with him on a daily basis, she thought to herself. Kathir felt her worry and tried to quell her fears by preening her hair as they kept walking. “Are you ready?” Marcus asked as they rounded a final corner. Daphne nodded then entered the door. She looked around her and saw two guardians, Winged Bulls, standing on either side of the door. “Before you
crap, it cut it off, what do you guys think so far? I can send the whole thing in an email if anyone’s interested.

Your Questions About Neutrogena Clear Skin Cream

Steven asks…

What do you think about the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash?

Has anyone used this face wash before? And what did you think about it? I’m thinking of buying it but I wanted to see what people that have used think. I have oily skin with a little bit of acne and quite a few blackheads. I was also thinking about getting the scrub, any reviews on that? And if I do plan to get it should i get the facial wash or the cream wash?

im4clearskin answers:

LOVE it! It smells yummy, has just enough “scrubbiness” to clean your pores, and leaves your skin soft and smooth. I like the facial wash, the cream was a little heavy for me.

Lisa asks…

Weird skin bumps. Not pimples, what are they?

Ok the picture sucks but I really couldn’t get a better one. I’ve always had super clear skin and I’m now 21, never broken out and I developed a rash-typa thing on my face. It’s not pimples for sure but I have no idea what it is or how to get rid of it. They’re just reddish bumps. They don’t hurt or anything they’re just ugly and they’re only on one side of my face.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to get rid of this? I’ve had it for a few months now and wanna try some home remedies or recommendations before going to a dermatologist.

(btw I only use mineral powder, never used foundations or concealer and I moisturize using Neutrogena Healthy Skin face cream with SPF and I use Cetaphil to wash my face.)

Your Questions About Tips To Clear Skin Fast

John asks…

Reducing the Appearance of Acne, and Acne Scars?

I have an interview in a week and a half, and I want my skin to be clear for it.

I don’t have to eliminate all my acne, I know I can’t do it so fast.

But does anyone have any tips to help reduce the look of it? or the size, or even prevent break outs until then?
I have mild to moderate acne, and I’m more or less looking for a quick temporary fix.

im4clearskin answers:

I did some research and talked to my doctor to find the most common causes of acne.

• Hormones: The number one cause of acne is the production of sex hormones, known as androgen, that begins at puberty. This is why majority of acne sufferers are adolescents and teens. Hormones are responsible for then acne flare-ups during menstruation and pregnancy.

• When the sebaceous gland is stimulated by androgens, it produces extra sebum. In its journey up the follicle toward the surface, the sebum mixes with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that have been shed from the lining of the follicle. While this process is normal, the presence of extra sebum in the follicle increases the chances of clogging — and acne.

• Stress: can also cause the production of hormones, such as cortisol, which can aggravate acne. Stress brings upon different hormone levels. With hormone changes the body prompts the skins oil glands to enlarge, secreting more oil. Which causes white heads, black heads and pimples.

• Oily or heavy make up: Heavy make-up clogs the pores and oily make-ups add more oil, which only adds to the problem if oily skin already exists. Cosmetics, especially certain moisturizers, foundations and pomades contain lanolin, petrolatum, vegetable oils, butyl stearate, lauryl alcohol and oleic acid.

• Certain medications and steroids: Vitamins are good for your body, But an excess of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 can cause acne flare-ups. These vitamins are good for the skin, but avoid overuse.

• Diets: For some people, a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates and sugars can actually aggravate their acne.

• Over abrasive cleansing: Harsh exfoliators can damage skin and spread infections.

• Picking and squeezing: This can actually send the infection deeper into the skin and can cause scarring.

• Environmental irritants: such as high humidity and pollution. High humidity actually causes swelling of skin. Pollution is of course is a big cause for clogging your pores.

• Genes: Family members who are also acne sufferers. Acne is inherited and severe cases known as cystic acne usually come from heredity.

And..,

What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.

Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:

http://www.17acnetreatments.com

P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She’s sharing her story at her site:

Maybe you could learn from her inspirational story.

Good luck.

I take good care of my skin: I moisturize with Aveeno w/SPF 30 after washing it in the morning, and at night I cleanse my face and apply night cream (Olay age defying). I have also started using under-eye cream. My skin is pretty clear, but it’s also dry, and I’ve been told that dry skin ages faster than oily skin.

Is this an alright routine for someone with dry skin in her early twenties? Or is there something more I can do to maintain its glow throughout my twenties and well into my thirties and forties?

(No tips about food/diet please)

A retinoid cream. Go to the derm.
It helps bring new layers of skin to surface.
Maybe u need a more gentle cleanser.

My derm says the differin i use helps me stay young.
Ive always been interested in glycolic acids, and at one point i used some aha cream which made my skin look so freshfaced and young.. Check out the reviews for aha cream.
