Yikes! Do not listen to the other poster about washing your face like crazy and then drying it out. Talk about asking for problems and long term damage. I am a skin specialist and professional makeup artist in the Chicago area and my advice is far different. You do not want to use harsh cleansers and soaps as this throws off the acid mantle barrier and will make acne worse! I use a natural makeup company based near Chicago on all my clientele as they have some of the best pure and natural makeup products for acne and rosacea that I have ever used. I love their cleansing grains (they are not soap) They are a ground mixture of purifying clays, oats, herbs and grains that cleanse the face while exfoliating and eliminating whiteheads and blackheads. If you do not want to fork out money for a face cleanser (I love the cleansing grains though and use it myself) I recommend something that is close enough by making a mixture of 1tbl baking soda, and 1/3 cup ground oatmeal (you can store this in a container for further use if you do not add water to it) add water when your ready to use and make a paste and wash your face with this. Oats are a natural cleanser as is baking soda and they are also a natural exfoliater helping with black and whiteheads. As for moisturizer oil is good for your skin especially oily acneic skin and can actually help clear you up. The best oils to use are hazelnut, macadamia nut, grapeseed, sweet almond, as these are astringent on acneic skin (you can get these at health food stores). Not all oils are good for acne though so do not use veggie oils like canola or olive they can break you out. Now after your face has settled and you have eliminated some whiteheads I will tell you the best makeup foundation hands down is by Faerie Organic. Their minerals are the best thing for acneic skin. They cover amazing (especially redness), last all day, and due to the Boron Nitride (anti-bacterial) and zinc oxide (anti-inflammatory) can help existing acne get better with use. You really need to try them it will change your life. They offer a free sample kit at their website that comes with 2 foundations, sheer veil and bronzer. I suggest you get the smaples and see for yourself. I use these on all my clientel as they will make you look flawless and they are good for your skin. Watch out for Bare Minerals and drugstore brands, they use chemicals and fillers that will irritate your skin more and lead to more breakouts. Bare escentuals and most drugstore brands use bismuth oxychloride which is not an actual mineral but a metal that has been processed with tin and copper. It is well known to cause skin irritation, itching, rash, and acne. Stay away from this ingredient. You can check out faerie organic here...http://www.faerieorganic.com BTW read their guestbook other customers reviews give you an idea of what to expect.I need a foundation please help ! / any cure for whiteheads?
rub lemon juice and white granulated sugar for 2 minutes, daily. It exfoliates and loosens the whiteheads
first off, wash your face like fn crazy and get that acne paste stuff and dry the heck out of your skin...moisterize as well. Then try Mabelline Dream matte mouse. I wear bare minerals, but it's powder.
