wash u're fuckin face...

get a coupon for 10% off your next $500 skin treatment package.

you don't need to spend a lot of money on skin products. stuff like neutrogena is fine. a moisturizer, maybe a toner, a retinol-based overnight cream, and a good sunblock that covers uva and uvb and you're good m8. shit, you could drop the toner and retinol if you want to.

could also add some bio cream or w/e if you have stretchmarks or scarring.

>>6450494
also not bad to have some aloe around, that and olive oil are pretty much the only natural ingredient that should go on your skin

Drink lots of water, splash your face with water, sweat once a day and stand on your arms or hum to get better blood flow.
There, you will have perfect healthy skin.

Use the following:
- face wash
- exfoliating face scrub
- moisturizer
- toner(optional)
- facial mask
- sunblocker (might be built in in one of the above)
- eat well
- take vitamin pills
- drink 20 liters of evian water a day

Stop eating dairy.

I like this, it fits my poorfag needs.

I'm curious if there is any known link between poor circulation and the appearance of acne. It would make a lot of sense for me, but I'm probably reaching.

Use lotion with vitamin e. Consume the least amount of unhealthy food as you can. Exercise regularly, and keep clean with soaps with hydration lotion shit in it, and shampoos/conditioners that aren't harmful to the scalp.

it's everything about diet

I could write an essay about this but I won't because half the people won't read it and the other half will try to "own" me with half-assed assertions or won't believe me anyway.

Retinol capsules (50.000 ui), one daily, for 1 - 3~ months.
Did miracles to my skin.

it's impossible without laser resurfacing! there are no alternatives

>>6450581
Alot of sources indicate it doesn't have any affect.
Still it seems to affect alot of people, personally i didn't have any problems since i stopped with dairy.

I have a lot of small bumps on my forehead, all my face skin is great except for that, tried everything and it just doesn't go.

go raw

if you can actually achieve it then no regrets will be had

What a cop out.

And blood flow has nothing to do with acne.

>>6452438
In fact, almost nothing in this thread works for everybody.

Take accutane. At worst it'll make your acne go away temporarily (years). At best, it'll be gone forever.

Acne-prone /fa/ggot with clear complexion here.

1: Go to Goodwill, buy like 14 pillow cases. Change it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Toss the unused one in your laundry bin. Do not use again until cleaned.

2: if your hair can touch your cheeks or forehead, use a hair net while sleeping. Do not pull your hair back; it's bad for it. Keep the stuff that comes in contact with your face relatively clean. Masks, cell-phones, telephones receivers, jewelry, hands, etc.

3: Eat citrus, especially pineapple and grapefruit.

4: No soda. Virtually NONE. N O N E.

5: beaten egg white face masks, followed by egg yolk on areas that tend to get dry from treating. Egg whites are great as wicking oil from the face without being harsh.

6: Wash face with water as soon as you get up, and before you go to sleep. Every morning, every night.

7: Remove all make-up. If you remove make-up with lotion, use hot water to take the lotion off afterwards.

7: take in plenty of antioxidants, fish oil, zinc (hnngh, raw oysters,) fiber and garlic (Not powdered.) Learn to love seafood, it'll treat your skin right. Most lean protein will, in fact. Don't forget nuts and beans.

8: Avoid dairy, coffee/energy drinks, any food or drink that may mess with your hormones (like soy) Steer clear of processed foods whenever you can.

9: shield your face from your hair care products and wash off all make-up removers after removal process. Don't stress your face out by putting a bunch of weird shit on it, either.

10: opt for a parasol and shade rather than sunscreen whenever you can, and don't shy away from sunlight. Lack of sunlight and being trapped in clothes constantly is what makes the ass and thighs notorious for getting pimples.

>>6452686
how do you know each of these specific methods contributes to clear skin individually

Might just be me, but avoid chocolate. Chocolate gets my skin as oily as a Greek boy's thighs.

>>6452731

Because prolonged suffocation of your pores leads to acne (Like sleeping on it or pushing a hot phone against your face)

That blockage can also happen with gunk you get on your face. The hair care products, overusing conditioner, sunscreen, and so on. Your skin needs to breathe to not get blocked up. (No really, it literally breathes. You can kill yourself by covering your body in saran wrap, even if you are able to take in oxygen through th e mouth and nose just fine.) It's essentially a big organ that can go through periods of blockage and can also be detoxified.

Astringents can work from inside your body. They can work from the outside too, in the form of natural or chemical products, but it's much better to just incorporate an astringent into your diet than to simply rub it on your face and reap the benefits temporarily.

Speaking of which, your body likes a dependable schedule and pattern. Quite often are new things perceived by the body as stress initially, even if they are good. Stress leads to acne.

Hormones do too, naturally. Your body is self-regulated, and when you go and throw a wrench in the hormone system all kinds of wacky shit happens to your skin.

Things that are tough for the body to break down get stored elsewhere within it, and it shows in the form of disease, cellulite, dull hair, (fat in general actually) and acne. Your body has a tougher time breaking down steak and a big glass of milk than it does salmon and tea.

I know I sound like a massive hippie, but I don't like to be dependent on products. And things like Proactive and prescribed medication only work while you're using them... Get off them and your skin will go right back to the way it was. Dependency is expensive, and many of these habits have benefits outside of clear skin.

you actually go out of your way so much to get good looking skin? does life suck for you or something?

>>6453087
#6 is the only one that would take any time/effort

the rest is just habits that you can pick up

>>6452442

yeah if you have acne worth complaining about then accutane is the only thing that will actually work. unfortunately there are some adverse side effects and you need to get blood work done every so often. who knows how much it costs. i never did it but i wish i had.

Accutane is your only hope if you have shit-tier acne/scarring.
Works like a charm, but I heard it buttfucks your metabolism.
Also made me a bit depressed.
Tit for tat.

>>6453156
Is it possible that the accutane can remove this scar of mine?

I recently got it after messing with with my acne. I really regret doing it - and it's making me a little bit depressed.

>>6453662
Accutane's a medicine where you have to take it for usually six months with checkups and blood tests every six weeks, and has a shitload of side effects. It's a last resort thing man.

>>6453687
Aw, all right. I can live with it I suppose. ;_;

Aren't there other treatments for scarring I could resort to? Considering it's so small, it couldn't cost THAT much, unless price isn't decided by how much work that must be done.

Thansk for the help though!

>>6453699
Try a silicon scar cream. It's about $50 for a tiny tube but it will last the 3ish months it's going to take to make it fade

>>6453715
Okay, I'll give it a shot!

Thank you, I appreciate it a lot!

>tfw never used any skin treatment products
>just rinse my face with cold water every time i use the bathroom
>never had a single pimple, nothing

>>6453699
Microdermabrasion or laser resurfacing treatments will also help.
Or you can try using Bio Oil or Vitamin E Creams to help fade it.

>>6450482
good food? what kind is good food? i dont eat fastfood if thats it

>>6452686
I have a general question. How should i wash my face? I heard I shouldn't scrub, but what's the difference? Just putting water in my face and dry it off with a tower?

I heard I need to wash it with soap, but what kind of soap. Also heard I need some cream or product to put on my skin, but i never go to any of these shops, how do i know what to buy? its not like theres this bottle labeled moisterizer.

>inb4 talk to clergy

>>6453747
Do not wash your face with soap. The skin on your face is much more sensitive than the rest of your body, and soap is much too harsh for it.

Get a face cleanser. If you have oily skin, use a foam cleanser. If you have dry skin, use a cream cleanser.

There are lots of bottles labelled moisturiser. You just need to find one which works with your skin. For that, Google is your friend.

>>6453753
>Get a face cleanser. If you have oily skin, use a foam cleanser. If you have dry skin, use a cream cleanser.
This is what i mean, i have never heard of a face, foam or cream cleanser. I don't wear makeup. I normally dont use any products. I hate going to these stores, they're filled with makeup and feminine hygiene, i'm so self conscious in there.

Another question, what is bio oil or cream? It's another word getting thrown around, and i have no idea what it is.

>>6452686
just contributing to this, if you end up having to stop energy drinks and you feel like you need them to stay awake, then you can try 200mg caffeine tablets, has just as much caffeine as 2 cups of coffee or so

Use facial cleanser/face milk, any brand is fine
Then a moisturizer, any brand is fine

Bulldog is pretty good

>>6453907
I think that's nearly worse.
Don't drug yourself with caffeine if your body isnt suited for it.

>>6453832
Then it's best you do your research.
Cleansers are unisex. It's just stuff that helps get rid of all the dirt and crap off your face and it just helps more than plain water. Most drugstore brands give pretty similar results, so just pick one that you think is nice and try it out.
Foam is just if you have one and when it combines with water it bubbles. Cream just stays creamy until you wash it off.
Don't be self conscious. Not sure where you are located but places like dermalogica do skin consultations and can help you. It's their job to help you man. Otherwise go with a female friend and get her to talk to them and you can chime in or something.

Bio oil is a bottle of oil which is supposed to help with pigmentation, eg. scarring and stretch marks. It comes in this little bottle marked 'bio oil'.

>>6453113
>tfw I finished my treatment a bit over a month ago and my skin is free of pain for the first time in years
Feels bretty damn good, mayn.

>who knows how much it costs.
The only thing I had to pay for was the pills themselves and that wasn't so bad.

>>6453733
Seems like you hit the genetic lottery for skin, m8.

>>6453951
what do you do with bio oil? i guess apply a thin layer to the stretch mark or w/e, but then do you leave it? rinse it off after ten mins?

>>6453951
thanks a lot, i'll read your posts through again.

I've got stretch marks on my buttocks, they dont stress me much though. I mean, if a girl is grabbing my ass, it's not going downhill from there

>>6450470
Use face wash. Opens up pores. Alcohol to disinfect face and close pores. Use topical solution. Sleep with fresh towel on pillow.

>>6453975
You just apply a layer and rub it so that your skin soaks it in. I think for best results you're meant to apply it twice a day.

>>6453994
I'll be around if you have more questions.

As long as it doesn't look like you have tiger stripes, you're fine.

>>6452865

Your skin doesn't breathe you faggot what the fuck fuck off take an anatomy and physiology course you cunt

fuck you

>>6454001
You can actually only feel them

>>6454018
we know that, why do you have to comment on it? are you from /sci/? healthy skin needs different things like air and such, you can't lie down all day for example, so skin care is a legit subject. also, the main problem with breathing is getting CO2 out of your blood, oxygen comes second

>>6451622
I've never had a lactose intolerance, but all I have to do is stop dairy for ~1 week for almost clear skin.

I avoid it near my period especially, cause dairy+period = moon crater face.

>>6454161
periods are gross you should go anorexic tier instead and stop the periods

>>6453737
a balanced diet?

my face is tanner than the rest of my body. does anybody know this feel and how to prevent it so I can get the contrast of pale skin with dark clothing?

>>6453999

Do people still believe this? lol

>>6454197
why not just go out into the sun

>>6454161
Yeah, milk can screw with a number of things which will lead to hormonal acne. The IGF-1 , insulin, inflammation , and the dihydrotestosterone precursors found in milk can cause an overproduction of sebum.

>>6454207

>>6454201
some people don't like to go into the sun, like me and vitamin d is cheap as fuck too

>>6454201
my skin doesnt like sun very much, i'm taking anti-biotic pills against acne, and they make my skin sensitive to sun. I got a rash on my cheeks because of it, which i know have to take care of as well.

and then theres skin cancer, but i dont care much for that

Stop using skin treatment products all together.
It might not seem to work at first, but after a month or so your skin will get much better.

If you're constantly putting shit into your body, shit is going to come out. There is always a special case with genetic outliers, but face it - you're average.

Advice for the broke:
>Try coconut oil in lieu of expensive moisturizer/lotion.

i guess not everyone here has acess to these, but going to the sauna and steam bath a few times a week has really helped my skin.

TO ANY FUCCBOI CUTTING DAIRY OUT OF THEIR DIET

1) have fun with brittle bones
2) no medical evidence even correlating dairy to acne

#calciumcrew we out here

eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and drink a lot of water

it's that simple

there's a more in-depth reason why. eating 'healthy shit', stuff that doesn't have preservatives and 14124124 other toxins and chemicals added on. your body takes everything in, and your dermis is the physiological expression of the health of your inner body.

drink a lot of water, and eat a lot of fruit and veg.
