Suggestions for acne problem...?

I have semi bad skin, and when I get my period it seem to worsen for a week or so.
I have been taking vit. a, and I have just started "blue light therapy" ( a home lamp)...
Does any1 have any suggestions? Some people say the love pro active and some people say it doesnt work...

I really need help though because it effects my confidence alot and im to the point i dont like going any where beside work and always wear make-up...

I had very mild acne when I was in high school and right before I went to college I started getting bad acne. I'm not sure what triggered it but after 2 years of trying different things and seeing a dermatologist (which didn't really help) I've come to my own conclusions. Each person is different though!

I've tried a bunch of oral anti-biotics, none helped. I've used differen, retin-a, clinda gel, tetracyclene the list goes on... basically I think I've used everything but Accutain, but my acne is not that bad where I would resort to that.

I tried pro-activ it kind of worked, but it's really expensive and it made my face very red and irritated. As soon as I stopped using it my face got MUCH worse, worse than it was before. Some people get very good results from it though.

Lately I just use benozyl peroxide about 3-4% topical at night. It helps some. I really started seeing a huge change in my complexion when I started working out and running. I drank lots of water too. The water helps flush your body of toxins and the cardio increases blood flow to your face, and thus oxygen which kills the bacteria. It also makes you sweat which cleans the pores. Just make sure to wash your face afterwords with a mild cleanser.

I think that my body was just telling me I needed to get more exercise which makes sense since 2 years ago I stopped playing sports for the most part, and when I look back on my highschool years the times I had the clearest skin were when I was most active.

Lately now I only break out after I shave in certain spots. I'm using a liquorice root based cream as an after shave, it's suppose to reduce redness, scarring, and inflammation of the skin so it doubles in my fight against acne. Helps a lot and even though you don't shave I might suggest it.

One other thing you can do is don't touch your face, like ever. Just when you wash your face and apply the creams you have. Seriously don't do it at all, even though it's hard to touching your face especially on existing acne just irritates the skin and makes it worse, and it spreads it! Don't try to pop them either, whatever you do. It will leave scars, and spread it and possibley become reinfected, this is also hard not to do. Because sometimes you get a white head and just can't stand the site of it. If thats the case just take a warm shower and let the pores open up then apply gentle pressure on the sides. Don't force it and make sure you clean your hands/area. Only do that if you must.

O and don't wear make-up unless you have to, I know that's gonna be hard but it really doesn't help your skin at all. It needs to breathe.

One last thing wash your pillow case every other day. Sleep on it one night on one side, then flip it and sleep on it again. Then change it and wash it. You face cleanses itself at night and sweats a lot, so you'll get all that oil on your pillow case, so when you wash your face and go to sleep the next night, you're just rubbing it back on your face. Not good huh?

Also might want to see a dermatolgist. It took a long time for me to get into one, they seem to always be busy. He tried a few things for me, none of it helped a lot. But doesn't mean they won't be able to help you.

Just keep trying different things until you learn what helps then stick with that and add on to it. You'll probably be more prone to it now in your teen years but it should balance out soon. I wish you luck acne is truley a pain in the ass. Hopefully some of this helps.

Essential Oils in the Home

The use of essential oils goes back as far as 6000 years when Egyptian physician, Imhotep, the then God of Medicine and Healing recommended fragrant oils for bathing and massaging. In 4,500 B.C. Egyptians used myrrh and cedar wood oils for a embalming their dead and 6,500 years later the preserved mummies prove the fact discovered by the modern researchers that the cedar wood contains natural fixative and strong antibacterial and antiseptic properties. From that time forward there has been numerous instances recorded on the use of essential oils in healing.

Today, research has proved the valuable and multiple uses of essential oils. Medical research in the recent years has uncovered that the odors we smell have a significant impact on the way we feel. Smells act directly on the brain like a drug according to scientific research. For instance smelling lavender increases alpha wave frequency in the back of the head and this state is associated with relaxation. Additionally, essential oils have now become popular in skin care products for their valuable properties.

Essential oils in the home:

Diffusers are generally made of ceramic or clay. The diffuser has a cave-like opening to house small candles are earthen oil lamps and the top is shaped like a curved cup to hold a little water and few drops of aroma oil. Fill the top cup with water, add a few drops of essential oils depending on the oil chosen then light the candle or the lamp. For the oil lamp to last for a long duration, add castor oil to the earthen lamp because castor oil burns for a very long time as compared to the other oils used to light a lamp. Once the water and oil heat up, evaporation takes place and the whole atmosphere is filled with the aromatic scent

Vaporization - Consider placing a few drops into a vaporizer to add a moist, subtle hint of fragrance to any room. You can also add a couple of drops to a pan of water to gently steam over the kitchen stove or radiator.

Potpourri as the name suggests is a mixture of dried flowers, herbs, and grass and seed pods. Add a few drops to the potpourri mixture and place in a closed container overnight. This allows the oils to absorb into the potpourri. The following morning open the box and the aroma will fill the room. A few drops of essential oil added to the potpourri and kept in a bowl would keep giving out aromatic fragrance for 4-6 weeks.

Room Sprays - As we become more environment conscious, aerosols are being discouraged due to their ozone depleting properties. Essential oils are natural and hence they could be used liberally to deodorize a room, freshen and scent your bathroom, living-room, bedroom, dining-room, office cabin, etc. Merely add 10-12 drops of aroma oil to half a liter of water and spray the mixture with the help of a spray bottle. Oils like lavender, lemon, peppermint, pine and rosemary are best for this application.

Essential oils in the home are the best air filtration system. They purify by removing metallic particles and toxins, increase atmospheric oxygen, increase ozone and negative ions which inhibit bacteria growth, destroys mold, cigarette and animal odors and finally they will fill the air with a fresh scent. On top of all of that, they are environmentally safe!

Below are the benefits from some of the more common essential oils and fragrance oils used in the home:

Chamomile offers a fruity, apple like fragrance which eases anxiety, tension, anger and fear and promotes relaxation, gives patience, peace minimizes worry.

Grapefruit is a sweet, sharp and refreshing scent which has an overall uplifting effect. It has a reputation for balancing manic depression.

Jasmine is a sweet, flowery-exotic and slightly heady scent which is calming to the nerves and warms emotions. Produces positive feelings of confidence

Lavender fights depression, promotes sleep, lowers blood pressure and has an overall calming effect.

Eucalyptus a clear and sharp scent which has a cooling effect on the emotions. Known to clear the head, help with concentration and strengthens the nervous system.

Please note that I have only listed the properties of these common essential oils and their effect on the mind, they also have therapeutic values to the body and to the skin. Spa treatments such as body wraps, facial steams and massages use essential oils for their therapeutic values and more and more skin care products are using wonderful essential oils such as jojoba oil, aloe Vera, neroli, and rose for example.

Essential oils are potent and care should be used when working with them. However, understanding the properties and the benefits that essential oils can bring to your home is well worth the learning experience.
