Need help with my face!!This question goes for anyone, including the good Dr!!
I am 27 years old and I still have acne. Not severe but I do get small pimples quite often. My face is also really dry. I live in CO and it is so incredibly dry here. I am wondering what I can do for my face to help moisturize it without making it break out. Every thing I have used so far is making me break out. Also....what should I be doing to help my skin stay healthy and young. Facials? Certain skin regimen? I am not doing a great job and I am starting to notice little lines or weird things that I did not have a few years ago. Just like all the other women I want to stay young looking as long as I possibly can!!!
Thanks for the help!!

I'm 47 and still get zits  though they are the deep sebacious (sp?) kind that need to be injected or lanced by the dermatologist. Have you seen a Dr about this yet? When I was in my 30's I went on Accutane, and it worked wonders for about 10 years, but you do have to be very careful with it. My kids started breaking out, and they used Proactive - which worked pretty well for the first couple of years. Eventually they both started using Differin (prescription cream) and it really has helped clear them up. My SIL recommened a cleansing wash from Sephora called DDF (Drs. Dermalogic Formula) to my GF and me last month. It's a glycolic wash. My GF's kids were breaking out, and she said their faces have totally cleared up. I've just started using it again (had to stop because I was having eyes done & poison oak) and it really made my skin look great. Hope this helps

Hey Larissa, hopefully the doc will chime in. Dry skin combined with acne...hmmmm. Do you use any exfoliating/acne products on your skin now? Retin a? Glycolics? Acne treatments? The reason I ask is I've sometimes overused those products in the past which made my skin seem dry but in fact, it was just irritated/dry from the products I was using.
I would think a good oil free moisturizer most of the time with maybe retin a for the acne (and oh btw, it's good for wrinkles too) every other night. And microdermabrasions or a light lunch time peel once a month.
But if you're using scrubs and other harsh products, I'd suggest lightening up on those. That might be part of your "dry" problem.

Re: Need help with my face!!Microdermabrasion, dermabrasion, chemical peel, and other skin rejuvenation treatments can be effective weapons in reducing the signs of aging. Aging signs that can be eliminated or reduced by the use of some or all of these treatments include: fine lines, deeper wrinkles, crow’s feet, flaking skin, and superficial skin defects such as some age spots, acne scars, and stretch marks.

May You Have So Many thing To Make You Skin Glowing and Acne Free I Wanna Share With about the Benefits of Fruit Actually our eating habbits have Lots of Effect on Our Skin,we use to apply Lots of Beauty Product on our skin but Forget about our Eating habbit.
These benefits are as follows:
BENEFITS OF FRUITS ON SKIN:
1) Papaya - This fruit is the best bet when it comes to skin care, papaya is a good source of Vitamin A and papain. Vitamin A acts as an anti-oxidant, while the papain breaks down inactive proteins and removes dead skin cells. The best feature of the fruit is its low sodium quality. Since the salt content is less, the water retention is also little. The result is an overall hydrated skin. Rub mashed papaya on cracked heels to remove dead cell and make feet softer.
2) Apple - Apple is a great source of fibre which keeps the bowels clean, ensuring skin that is free of acne and boils. It is also loaded with phytochemicals that have properties similar to anti-oxidants. Studies have also shown that eating apples regularly can reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Mix a gated apple with honey and apply on your face for five minutes for a hydrated, stress free skin.
3) Peach - Peach is packed with potassium and flavonoids apart from Vitamin A. It helps revitalising and hydrating epidermis. The antioxidants help wounds recover faster and prevents signs of early ageing. Grate one peach, mix with sugar and use as a face scrub.
4)Oranges - This fruit belongs to the citrus family and is best know for its astringent and toning properties. Rub fresh orange peel on your skin to tighten it and lighten the colour. Another useful tip is to take the juice of 2 oranges and freeze it in an ice tray. Rub your face with frozen orange juice cubes. It will instantly freshen you up and lift up the tiredness from your face. The juice will give your dull and oily face an instant sheen. Oranges are a good source of Vitamin C which is known to improve the skin texture and colour.
5)Pomegranates - Pomegranates are excellent for oily and combination skin. Rich in AHA, pomegranate juice can be used as an astringent and is also a natural toner. Crush pomegranate seeds and use it as a scrub for skin care, this will remove excess oil and make your skin look fresh. Massage pomegranate juice on your face for around 10 minutes and then wash off for an instant glow. Like oranges pomegranates also contain Vitamin C and folic and numerous antioxidants. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps in building up the immune system
