WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Skin problem! depressed.?
Okay, first of all, i really doubt you look discusting. You need to be confident of yourself. Every body has skin problems, but you can't put yourself down. You should try ProActive, or clean and clear, or cliniqe soaps. that's what i use. Good Luck =]
Reply:It sounds like you're going through what millions of teens do: acne. It comes with puberty and with any luck it'll ease in time.





I have heard wonderful things about Proactiv and suggest you at least give it a shot if nothing else has had any effect.
Reply:You've already done all those chemicals and they didn't work. ProActiv is just like anything else with benzoyl peroxide. There's no difference, it's not going to work...and it's going to increase your risk of skin cancer...

You might want to consider a natural, more gentle, alternative. Click my picture, click the link under 'free natural acne routine'. It's a gentle routine that helps improve the health of your skin so it can repel the bad and not break out as much. All those products are probably making your problem worse. There's a list of chemicals commonly in body care products that are known contact allergens and increase acne symptoms. You might want to go check it out to see if any of those ingredients are in any of your products so you can know what to avoid.
Reply:you arnt the only one out there I feel you. proactive works for some but others maybe not.

Reply:“If you can not eat it, don't apply it on your skin”. This is our mantra. The skin, being a porous organ of the body, tends to absorb everything applied it. All natural, unprocessed Tea seed oil is Gods gift, blessing and treasure for human consumption internally for eating and externally to use for body care. It is available at very affordable prices (Lower than most base oils).





Up until the early 20th century, the vast majority of cosmetics and body care products were only manufactured using natural sources such as plant roots, barks and leaves. The explosion of petroleum byproducts in the mid 20th century enabled industries to abandon natural ingredients in favour of synthetic materials, due to greater availability and cost considerations. Most petrochemicals break down the collagen in the skin, and many of the preservatives used in such synthetic cosmetics are known carcinogens. Today, most industries only use insignificant traces of natural products, for promotional purposes.





Tea seed oil (also known as tea oil or camellia oil) is cold-pressed from the seeds of the camellia oleifera tea plant. This is the same plant family from which come the finest teas that we drink.





Visit the Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_oil to get an independent opinion about the benefits of this all purpose oil and comparisons with other oils. Tea seed oil's health benefits already establish it as the healthiest cooking oil in the world.





Tea seed oil is an ideal product for direct use on the body as well as an ingredient in body care products and cosmetics. In fact, tea seed oil (the “olive oil of the orient”) has been used topically and as a food in China for over 2,000 years, ever since the days of the Nansong dynasty.





Tea seed oil is an all purpose oil that is also used in salad dressings, dips, marinades, baking, sauces, sautéing, stir frying and frying. It can be found in grocery stores, health food stores, restaurants, spas, and medical clinics.
