Blemish busters

 
I have a lot of blemishes and a little discoloration in the creases at the corner of my nostrils. What can I do to clear that up?

 

We all deal with blemishes, but luckily there’s something you can do about them. Using facial cleansers with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are great for clearing up unwanted pimples, and these products can easily be found at most drugstores.  The benzoyl peroxide fights bacteria, and the salicylic acid eliminates excess oil on your skin. Together, they’re a blemish-fighting duo!

 

To get rid of the discoloration, you can make your own face mask right at home.  Just mix 1 cup of orange peels in a blender with 1 cup of milk until it turns into a paste, and slather onto the discolored areas.  Let it dry for 30 minutes, then rinse it off.  You can also rub fresh lemon juice on those spots and leave it on for about 15 minutes each day.  The discoloration could be from sun damage or acne scars, but using these tips should help it go away.

 

Good luck, chica!

Ive recently stopped using concealer, foundation ect. to see if my acne would stop and it did. i use proactive. i have noticed that my face feels more oily than it did when i wore makeup. When i wore makeup it was a little oily and now everywhere feels like it just a little more-no shine though- except my nose is dry) is it just in my head? or??
thank you sooooo much Smile

 

Hey girlie,

Nope, it's not just in your head! It's totally possible that you're noticing it more now because you're going au natural. Try a mineral powder or a gentle cleanser for combination skin, which is what you've got!

Okay so I used to have really bad acne, but now its almost completely gone with the exception of one or two pimples. BUT I have a lot of acne scares on my face which makes my face look the same as before. What can I do to make my skin even out and the scars to go away?




Hey chica! 

While I use Mederma (an over the counter cream) to make my scars go away, the only person who can help you plan out a treatment that will work out best for you is a dermatologist, so if you can get to the doc, he or she will be able to help you best. If you can't, I'd wash my face in the morning and at night with a cleanser, then use Mederma on my scars. Good luck! xoxox

MOD MOD MOD!!!!! HELP
Any ez tricks to get rib of like all kinds of pimples and stuff cuz i have one right by my nose and it looks really GROSS!!!!! HELP!!




Hey girlie,

Be sure to wash your face once or twice a day with a gentle cleanser! That's #1. You could also use an exfoliating cleanser every other day to buff your skin. Remember not to touch your face throughout the day because your hands can transfer oils, which clog pores! Drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep. Breakouts can be caused by any of these things, plus also stress or diet. And read this article for a few more great tips!

Just use oatmeal! it's something u can find in your kitchen and your skin can improve around a month or two! just take handful of dried oatmeal and wet it until its damp, then squeeze the milky water onto FACE and massage until it covers face. then just apply the oatmeal to whole face or needed places with acne/blemishes and your face will improve in no time! just rinse off with luke warm water, and damp off with cloth, then close your pores by splashing face many times with cold water!

My friend has a lot of little bumps on her face and neck. She says they're not acne, or exzema or anything like that. Her dermotologist doesn't know what they are or how to make them go away! She's really bothered by them and feels really self conscious because she's not allowed to wear powder or consealer to hide them. School picture day is coming up in a couple weeks and she wants to know what to do to get rid of them before then! PLEASE HELP!! Other girls that give advice are totally welcome to help!!




Hey Girl,

It's hard to say what your friend could have if her dermatologist doesn't know either, but it might be a skin condition called Milia (get more information here). Her best bet is to try an exfoliating facial cleanser. These ones usually have exfoliating beads in them, and you can find cheap ones at the drugstore. They might not go away completely, but if she goes to school on picture day with a big smile and lots of confidence, her pics will turn out great anyway! Good luck!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
