For those of you who have dry, acne prone skin, how do you take care of it?

I%26#039;ve looked at two sites on Google to try and find help for my dry, acne prone skin and they seem good. However, I don%26#039;t want to go buying products and them not work. Also, for those of you with dry, acne prone skin again, what foundation do you use so your skin is not harmed (basically what are your makeup tips for me)? Any tips you have for me that you%26#039;ve used yourself and they%26#039;ve worked for your acne prone, dry skin please let me know them.|||How to cure a pimple





1. Wash you skin thoroughly and pat it dry with clean towel.


2. Wrap an ice cube in a washcloth and hold it over the spot for a minute or two; it%26#039;ll help bring down the swelling.


3. Dip the end of a cotton swab into some diluted tea tree oil (available at any pharmacy, and trust me, this oil was meant for the skin!) and dot a tiny amount directly into the pimple.


4. Leave it alone to heal. Don%26#039;t pop, pinch, or squeeze pimples, it will only make it worse.





Also, you can dab a bit of toothpaste, alcohol, or vinegar to pimple before going to bed each night. When you wake up the pimple will be gone. This is because toothpaste, alcohol, and vinegar will dry the oil out of pimples.





This works SOOOO well! I%26#039;m not kidding, and you got to try it!


And, tomato juice does work... you cut the tomato into slices and use it like a cleansing pad; rub it around your face and on pimples and pat dry with towel. And oh yeah, lemon juice works really well too. Just dab a bit on pimples and skin and pat dry.|||Hello, you should try using Unicure Hair and Skin Conditioner, Shampoos, and gel available at www.unicure.com it has been around since 1973 and was #1 selling hair conditioner they have a full line of hair care products.

care.|||I also suffer from dry skin!!!!! really bad...i used to have flacky dry skin in patches all over my skin...but than i tries this =)





My skincare routine:





Cleanser: Basis....this is just a bar of soap that matches your pH level of your skin....so it wont dry out your face(if you don%26#039;t use moisturizer though it will) This cleanser seems simple and it is not meant to fight acne...but in a sense it does...it really cleans your face well without drying out your face...i didnt believe my mom when she recomended it...but man does it work wonders





Toner: Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner...really any toner you prefer is ok...but this it the one i use. Start from the top of your face and go towards the temples...aslo with cheeks...go towards the temples...then on chin go in circular motions only(not making it up...this is what you are supposed to do whenever applying anything to your face) This will take off the dead skin and make your pores smaller(helps with the dirt getting in) It also leaves face really smooth and nice looking!!!!





Moisturizer : Sheer Cover Oil Free Moisturizer...again any moisturizer will be good...just as long as it is oil free, made for the face, does not have any acne fighting agents in it. Dot it all over face then apply just like i said with the toner. Moisturizing can really halp fighting the acne. Did you know that dry skin is actually a cause for acne and pimples? The dry skin will actually clog your pores and therefore cause a breakout. Dont listen to people saying you just need to dry your face out...its a lie.





Facial scrub: Oatmeal and Sugar....seriously...this is the BEST scrub i have ever had....just take oatmeal and grind it into a powder and the add Sugar( more Sugar if you want more of a scrub...less if you just want something soothing) then add a little water and make like a paste( not too thick and not too thin) Rub on your face for like 3 minutes then rinse with warm water...put moisturizer on right afterward and your face will feel so refreshed and soft!!!!! Do it about once a week. Dont rub too hard or you will damage face. The oatmeal is for sootheing for face of redness and dry skin. The sugar is for exfoliation.





Steam your face for about 5 to 10 minutes a week. Mousturize right after you steam. This will open your pores and get all the dirt and grim out. It also helps with dryness. Dont steam and use the scrub on the same day. It is best to use it on seperate days. Dont ask me why...just figured it out. =)








I suffer a little more from dry skin...and with this routine has been great....and now i don%26#039;t have a single blemish or patch of dry skin!!!!! It is amazing!!!!! Do this routine( excluding the scrub and steam) twice a day. Your skin will clear up...but in about a week or two your face will break out and that is a good sigh(it will do this with any product). This is because all of the dirt is getting out of your skin. Just keep with it and it will pay off in the long run...i have great skin right now(used to have horrible skin...i could have seriously been on one of those acne comercials it was so bad)...but now i have stuck with this routine and my skin is now soft and smooth!!!!!!!





Tips:





Vitamin E(taking it and also rubing on face) is really good for your skin





Olive oil is also good(rubbing on face...wamred...rinsed with warm water





Taking fish oil is also good





Try not to touch your face....it pushes the dirt into your face





Try not to wear make-up unless you need to or for a special occasion.
