Again this is just something my nan recommends, not a cure nor is it based on any proven facts. But like most things in the quest to get rid of spots it's worth a try.

Drinking too much salt water like that can induce you to vomit (serious).
That's interesting to consider, though...

You know i spoke with a 'white witch' and she said that not having sex or masturbating increase's skin quality and in turn acne, but also acne can be brought on by stress lol so there is a catch. She was a strange lady tho so she cud have been wrong! worth keepin in mind

Yea don't jerk as much will help, stay away from stress as much as possible, drink plenty of water. To much benzol perioxide will also dry your face out.

I was on Accutane for 6 months and it sucked.

catsonfire · 03-18-2008, 03:55 PM

If mine ever got bad enough, i'd just go on accutane. I dont have it on other parts of my body but I have a little on my face and I think I might have even mad scars cause the zits/etc are gone but redness is still there lol.

Cool, how do you use the benzoyl? Differin and what else? Would be good to know for future reference.

Cheers

For the reply

The key to clear skin is CONSISTENCY. Clean up ur diet. no fatty, oily foods sugary ****ty food (which if ur bodybuilding you shouldn't be eating anyway) drink plenty of water (2/2.5L) a day ideally, and a good skin regime. Apply a facial scrub/exfoliator which will clean, unblock any pores and remove any dead skin leaving ur skin fresh and smooth followed by a cleanser preferably the same brand which will work with the scrub to cleanse and prevent any blackheads and spots from appearing. Naturally i have oily skin so i don't need to moisturise but if u have dry skin you might want to buy urself a good moisturiser to use after u've exfoliated and cleansed.

Also when you go for a shave it a good idea to exfoliate before you do so and it will even up ur skin taking away and dead skin cells giving you a closer, smoother shave and ultimately prevent any razor burn. Also when shaving make sure you have a sharp razor so u dont end up going over the same area over and over and use a natural shaving soap the kind you use with a brush -- old skool (to prevent any further skin irritation you might get with your shaving gels/foams with all the chemicals they contain).

As for spots on ur back or anywhere other than ur face diet and water intake is key, also when ur showering you might want to use a loofah as it exfoliates and clears up ur skin better than what your probably using.

do all this and you will have immaculate skin. Works for me...

dude you just got out of your teens.. thats why it left.. but greasy foods do make it worse... some people are unfortunate enough to have adulthood acne.. but most people lose it after their teens

It was my 20th birthday a week ago, for about a month my acne had been really clear, almost gone. The day after my birthday I wake up to see my acne is back worse than ever...

UKnovice · 03-19-2008, 10:00 AM

Apologise for the bluntness but, age is bollocks!!! Ive had acne for nearly 10 years and all anyone says is you will grow out of it, i know people in their thirties who have had it since being a teenager, the odd spot here and there you will grow out of but if you have it bad all over then you have to take actions to get rid of it!!

Big thing i always say is everyone is different so all these people posting their ignorant arogant replies that you'll just grow out of it or go on accutane and it will go need to grow up and wise up and see that not everyone is fortunate enough to grow out of it and accutane is not a cure for people anyway studies even say that after successful treatment with accutance 55% of cases acne comes back, sometimes worse than before!!!

I hope it keeps improving with your regime man! Do you find differin any good?

wanna lose your acne?

start hanging around in the ocean

i used to have REALLY bad acne when i was younger

and one summer i went surfing for a month in San Diego

and when i came back to Canada, all my acne was gone.

I think it was the salt in the water

anyways, once i stopped surfing it came back again, not as bad though

and now it's completely gone.

but the ocean water helped for sure.
