mmm i dont have acne, get some acutain, you hate life for about 6months but its well worth it in the end.

[coustoe]

they dont really do anything, they just give you the perception.

Washing your face with warm water and a clean cloth is as or more effective to keeping your pores unplugged, Also pore size is a function of genetics.

direct from Medline Plus:
Blackheads, or open comedones, are common in acne. Clogged hair follicles reflect light irregularly to produce this black hue.

Common IN acne, not a common form OF acne, regardless a black head is far less noticable then say a fat ass white head

Ive always had them on my nose, can't see em unless you get right up to the mirror.

EDIT: I just looked at them and they are kinda noticable! Dammit now Im going to be self-conscious about them! Damn you and your threads!.....note to self, hit up drug store tomorrow

hmmm maybe I think black heads are something else but all I see are black dots, nothing that could be popped by squeezing without permanently injuring your nose

[creis]

I never seem to care about acne etc. of cource it sucks to have a big old mt. messing up your smile, but i never had much truble with it, not enough to do anything beyond just washing my face as usaual.

my only real problem is keeping my dogs from scratching/stabing my face when we ruff house (get it, ruff, bad joke huh) that its more niticable then anything else.

[forkee]

ur so cute natalie

[NYCelica]

Someone here has Acnes ? is that you Natalie?

[CelicaBuddy]

I get acne every now and then.... but i dont use those srip things... ouch >_<

I use proactive... now that stuff kicks ass. Even though Im too lazy to do the 3 step process... when i do use it for awhile, the results are great

but my acne isnt bad at all.... you could say i dont have any basically... maybe thats from the proactive tho.

[NYCelica]

Should I try Proactive too to see how it works? i get some little acnes from the Steroids.


note: Celicabuddy , what do you look like?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

dude NY shes 16 - shes not even legal


second of all - proactive sucks! i use dermalogica.

[chucho]

well what do you look like j/k i've seen a picture before

Never tried theses thing before so i have no op.

[NYCelica]

Ahh shes illegaly...screw that...jk


Natalie, Why do you need Proactive?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i dont use proactive - it doesnt work


but i do keep my face clean and i use dermalogica to do so! considering im a girl and i put makeup on my face then ya know its good to take it off at night

[NYCelica]

Ahh cool, well Ive had bad acnes when i was younger between 11-15 year old.

[saleeka]

the best way to rid yourself of acne- high pressure tanning beds- no joke. I had horrible acne when i was younger (i have scars to this day from it) and nothing dermitologists would perscribe would help. most of that over the counter stuff did more bad then good imo... tanning in a high pressure bed, however, has ALWAYS wiped it out for me. Even some dermitologists reccomend it for severe cases.

EDIT- I do like the biore pore strips though, they DO work at removing visible blackheads

oh and yeah tanning is way good for the skin - maybe not in the long run but definetly for acne and oily skin!

Well, tanning beds are good...but you can get skin cancer from that thing! so it not good to go there always. Id go there 4 times a month , Natalie saw pics of me I got some nice tan from tanning bed. You guys should go too.. haha

[saleeka]

getting cancer from a tanning bed can be a bit of a misconception... I work at a really nice tanning salon part time and you learn tons of stuff about the beds and other stuff like that. The UVB ray is the ray in tanning bed lights (and sun) that causes your skin to burn, and its the main ray that can increase your risk of cancer. Good tanning beds have cobalt filters (cobalt is a mineral, it gets set into glass shields for the beds) in them that filter out 99.8% of the UVB ray, thus taking out the true risk of getting cancer from tanning too much. Ususally only high pressure beds have full cobalt filters, however... in our salon all the beds except the stand ups and the basic beds have some sort of UVB filter. Tanning 3x a week in one of these beds would increase your risk, but the other beds pose a minimal risk, the ultrabroze beds posing almost zero due to full cobalt filtration. Staying in the sun for approx. 4 times that of tanning will give you equivalant risk (so 2 hours at the beach, no sunscreen, is the same as 30 min of unfilterd tanning)... tanning lots, will hoever, spped up the effect of aging on the skin (just like the sun will)...

[SinisterWhisper]

wait this is a car forum and we are talking about skin care products? Ermmm did I come to the right place? As for tanning I am gonna laugh my ass off when I start seeing girls from high school in 15 years freaking out because they spend several days a month at the tanning salon today

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i spend 5 days a week if i have the cash to tan!

but i never look orange - only look orange when i do spray tan
