Whats the best way to treat acne prone skin without takign medicine. What worked fo others?

first of all, avoid using products formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their %26quot;beauty%26quot; products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly .... also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. I use arbonne products.... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb鈥?/a> because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much, it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back .... also check this site from the fox news about toxins in beauty products..... http://easylink.playstream.com/ydc/Arbon鈥?/a>|||I recommend Clinique products. I have had crappy skin my whole life. I can%26#039;t use tonics or astringents b/c they make my skin even more oily! But I use the Clinique bar soap (choose which is right for your skin type..I am type 3) and the oil free gel moisturizer. It has worked wonders for me and it isn%26#039;t that expensive. The bar of soap will last you at least 4 months!|||Mary Kay products work really well, and I highly recommend the Microdermabrasion Set. It works best when used after cleansing with MK Time Wise 3-in-1 Cleanser.

http://www.marykay.com/s_azad/skincare/s鈥?/a>|||proactive is the %26quot;best%26quot; and somewhat one of the most expensive solutions out there. but i would just tell you to try acnefree, proactiv, clearisil, whatever. because each medicine works differently on different people. for example, proactiv can work on your friend but not on you. different medications, different people. so just try a few brands and see which one works best!|||I stopped eating cheeseburgers every day.|||If someone%26#039;s acne is mild, Proactiv works well because:





1. The cleanser manually exfoliates the skin with its gentle beads without irritating ingredients.


2. The toner is an AHA (glycolic acid in this case) solution that has the right PH range and doesn%26#039;t contain other irritating ingredients. It further exfoliates the skin. The texture of this solution feels clean and refreshing.


3. The %26quot;repairing lotion%26quot; is a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide solution that is in the right PH range and doesn%26#039;t contain other irritating ingredients. This ingredient kills the bacteria that causes acne. The texture of Proactiv%26#039;s lotion is one of the best. It blends easily, stays on well, and is not too think. It seems to work pretty well under makeup, too,





Combining all 3 elements, Proactiv is an effective package. The only drawback is that it is really expensive. For products that might be as effective but much less expensive, I%26#039;d recommend the following website:
