I have what to some is considered adult acne. I had absolutely clear skin until I got pregnant and had my daughter, and ever since then I have had an “hormonal imbalance” as they call it. I have tried everything! Proactive, dermotologists and their many solutions – I have almost done it all. I now use Neutrogena make up, which doesn’t get rid of it, but does seem to help. I have recently heard that Physicians Formula is even better, does anyone know if this is true?? I will one day get the lazer that supposedly takes it all away, but for now I need the best in make up for acne thats noncomedogenic. Do you know how Neutrogena and Physicians Formula compare? Is it worth changing over? If you use or have used either or both of these please let me know your opinion. Thank you.

The first and the foremost point to be remembered in the treatment of acne is not to panic. Whiteheads or blackheads will have to be treated with a cool head! No doubt, acne on the face is bound to cause a confusing contour in the curtain of your mind, but desperate remedies are not the solutions for desperate situations.

A basic understanding of the acne situation in each individual case requires a thorough study. Fortunately or unfortunately, the literature and expertise regarding the treatment options available are likely to be confounded! A mountain of literature about the molehill that is acne!

stress.

Exercise – Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting off
negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem
and depression. However, some safeguards need to be in place to
ward off acne that can result from your workout routines. First
watch which products you use on your body because you’ll most
likely be sweating. With any sunscreen’s for outdoor workout
activities and any make-up or other cosmetics, check for
“noncomedogenic” and “oil-free” on the labels to help prevent
pore clogging. And when your workout is finished, wash the
products off as soon as possible, especially if you’ll be going
into a steam room or sauna where your pores will be opening up
more. You don’t want these lotions and other cosmetics getting
into your pores and clogging them up, resulting in blemishes.
