What is causing my acne?!


Question: What is causing my acne!?
I used to only use a wet wash rag with sometimes some dove soap to wash my face!. I used to use Jergens Natural Glow on my face too, & I thought that may be the cause of some of my acne!. Or maybe the make up I wear, but I wasn't sure!. Well, since I can't stop using either of those things, I started to use creams to help me get rid of it!.
I used ProActiv & then Nutrogena!. Both made me develop large red patches under my eyes, & really burned!. So I stopped using them both after only 2 & a half days trying each!. ( I didn't mix them!. I used them a month apart!. ) I bought clearasil ultra!. Not the scrub or the pore treatment, there's no little beads or anything in this one!. It's just the daily face wash!. How often is daily!? I usually wash my face in the morning, & @ night!. But should I be washing it more with Clearasil!?
Please help, I'm desperate to get rid of these zits/blackheads!. They make my face look dirty, which makes me seem like a dirtball! Here's some information that might help: I eat really good!. I only drink Green Tea & water!. I don't diet, just try to eat healthy!. My face can't handle benzoyl peroxide!. I try to shower atleast once a night!. I wear dream matte mousse for cover-up, & lately have been washing it off when I come home from school!. I don't have eczema or anything!. I'm 16 years old!. What's causing my acne!? I'm a teenager, but no one else in my class has any pimples!. & how often should I use clearasil!? & by the way, has anyone ever used it!? If so, did it work for you!?

( Please don't tell me my acne is from puberty or growing up!. It's not!. )Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Overwashing your face can be just as bad for it as underwashing!. Your pores will get irritated and the edges will harden, which will make clogging worse!. Clogs are caused by sebum, which can't clear out if your pores are hard and inelastic!.
If your skin is dry, wash it only at night/when you remove your makeup, and use a night creme!. Try applying a light moisturizer--MAC's strobe cream is great for this--before applying foundation!. That'll help keep it from clogging your pores!. Remember that tight skin does not mean clean skin; it means dry skin!. Chances are, too, that if your skin is super-sensitive, brand name products like ProActiv and Clearasil will irritate it!.
I wash my face with St!. Ives Peach-somethingorother exfoliant!. It's a gentle exfoliator and mostly natural!. Plus, it smells good! :D

Try this one day--fill a sink or bowl with hot water--not boiling, but just this side of uncomfortably so!. Submerge your face and wait--I usually wait about 30 seconds!. Wash your face with a -gentle- soap, and rinse it with warm water and then cold!. Be sure to moisturize!. This gets a lot of excess oil out, and it helps me when my face seems to be on its way to a disaster area!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like sensitive skin!. Have you tried Clinique!? Have you tried Origins!? Even Almay products or anything that is labeled "Sensitive Skin" is better than Dove or Jergens!. Properly cleaning your face is first and foremost!. Also go to the dermatologist!. They'll get the gunk out so that no scars are left!. It is especially important to wash with something that has no fragrance!.
As for the clearasil, if it works!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could be the food you are eating!. Try eating nothing but fruits and vegetables for about 3 or 4 days and see if it starts clearing up!. By the way, when i was your age i had horrible acne but by the age of 18 it had cleared up completely with no blemishes!. I would go to school at 9am and by 2pm, more acne had developed on my face!. But it cleared up!. I hope it clears up for you too!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well you cant totally prevent all achene, but it gets better as you get older!. Daily is once a day!. And red patches are irritation of the skin!. (Not Good) This can cause more achene!. The best way is to gently massage your achene cream into a wash cloth and GENTLY wash your face!. Do this once a day!.

As for soap a water is the best way to stay on track with!. Your not exposing any weird chemicals to your skin which may lead to allergic reactions or lead to sensitive skin!. Do this twice a day, three times if you work out!. One in the morning, one after your work out, and one when you go to bed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
