It's so annoying isn't it! It totally killed my self esteem through my younger teens. Well a couple years ago I was really self concious about my acne in high school due to being made fun of alot by boys...so I begged my parents to take me to the doctor to get some medicine. I got Benzaclin and Tretinoin Cream, USP 0.025% which are creams designed to take off the first few layers of skin, aka the acne layers, and allow new, fresh skin to grow sort of like a new beginning. There are a ton of these creams out there, so see your regular doc and ask.Although the bad part is the peeling process makes your face completely red, flakey, and kind of sunburnt looking for about two weeks. I'm just trying to get it done when I'm home for break so when I'm back my face will be clear.
Another mask I've been doing regularly is the neautrogena facial peel, it is a little pricy but my mother noted that my skin looked much better after two weeks. One thing about my mom...she points out all my flaws such as gaining weight in college, acne etc etc..so if she said it, must be true.
Also, Queen Helene Grape Seed Facial Mask and the Mint one are great.
Oh and Biore Pore Strips, yea I know you're like jesus this girl has tried everything but the strips really help my pores stay clean and teh masks help alot too!
PM me or IM me if you'd like somemore info on stuff, I've tried nearly everything on the market I think.
Currently I'm in the process of facial peeling...hooray..for the second time.
I'd love to be able to wake up and not have to put on foundation and concealer, that would be great.
