black spots on my face from acne, what are some good remedies to clear them?

Question by jamaican shawty.: black spots on my face from acne, what are some good remedies to clear them?
currently i am using Proactive and St. Ives apricot scrub to keep the acne from coming up and it works great, and i use Topiclear(number 1 skin lightening cream) to rid the black spots off of the face, Lately ive been mixing the skin lightening cream with the apricot scrub to kind of make it a dual affect to help the spots vanish more quickly, is this the right thing to do?

any suggestions of any other remedies that i can use?

Answer by Hyahoo Mumford
I wouldn’t mix them. I am assuming the black spots on your face are blackheads. Which you can squeeze them out. Just put a tissue around your fingers and then squeeze away! The reason for the tissue is so that you don’t get a ton of bacteria in your pores like you would with just your fingers. I hope this helps! Your Welcome.

Q&A: What are good websites with acne advice?

Question by Storm: What are good websites with acne advice?
I’ve suffered from random breakouts for a long time now and I’ve tried about every acne cleanser around. Neutrogena has worked as the best. Proactive is crap. I don’t know what else to try, so I’ve resorted to looking for websites with information on health and acne.

So what websites should I check out for the information I need?

Look good this summer with laser beauty treatments says online cosmetic surgery resource, Cosmetic Surgery Guru

Manchester, UK (PRWEB) May 30, 2012

With summer rapidly approaching, an online cosmetic surgery resource has highlighted the benefits of laser beauty treatments. According to Cosmetic Surgery Guru, laser hair removal is a great lunchtime treatment that can help people look and feel good throughout the warmer spell.

The website which contains information and advice about non-surgical and surgical procedures has described laser hair removal has quick and convenient. It refers to the treatment as a long-term hair removal method and recommends it as a great alternative to waxing, shaving, epilating and threading.

Laser hair removal works by destroying the base of each hair follicle using pulses of light. Its carried out at reputable clinics across the country and can remove unwanted hair from most of the body including the legs, face, back, underarms and bikini line. Each session only targets hairs in the active growth stage of the hair cycle, however, so a course of treatments is usually recommended.

Isabella Franklin, a spokeswoman for the site said: many people suffer with excess hair, so laser hair removals a great option for them. Its quick and hassle-free and can leave them with a soft, smooth complexion.

Cosmetic Surgery Guru has also discussed the value of IPL laser skin rejuvenation ahead of summer. This skin rejuvenation technique can cure a wide range of ailments including acne scars and wrinkles and can even out skin tone. During the procedure, Intense Pulsed Light technology generates bursts of red or blue light onto the skin and this penetrates the tissue. The bodys natural process then removes the injured tissue leaving the skin revitalised.

Commenting on IPL laser, Isabella Franklin said embarrassing skin conditions are common, but IPL laser can really help. Dramatic results can usually be seen within a relatively short period of time, although a course of treatments are recommended.

The website advises anyone wishing to try these procedures to consult a qualified practitioner.

tell him to cleanse.toner.moisturize. every morning.
proactive dries your skin && especially dont use proactive if you have sensitive skin. however i find the refining mask from proactive very useful. just dab a little of the refining mask on the pimple before you go to bed to dry out the pimple.

&& for home rememdies ive tried tomato juice [weird] but it brightens up your face. but you could also dab lemon juice or salt water on your pimples.

Thayer’s rose petal organic witch hazel toner. I buy it from vitacost.com or amazon. It’s about 5 dollars for a 12 iz bottle that will last a while. It’s everything your skin needs in one bottle. Google it and read reviews. If you have acne, it will also help that. This stuff IS AMAZING. I use it at night and in the morning. It cleanses, moisturizes, and tones.
