Oily skin and acne problem
hi guys, and ladys too…
I am new to this group, just joined a few minutes ago..
I have oily skin and acne problem mostly on my forehead, jaw line and
neck area, not too severe though but it just won’t go away, after the
old ones are healed, new ones pop right out….
I once read that if we have oily skin, then it is advisable that we
should not wash our face too often, because this promote more oil
generation (a natural response of our body), is that true? If so,
then, how should we take care of our face when it really gets sticky
and oily? I am currently using a soap-bar ‘Acne-Aid’ promoted by a
skin specialist and it feels really dry after washing, don’t know
whether I am doing the right thing or not, help please.
I have also read that by applying lemon juice or white vineger
directly on the affected part (acne) would help to cure it, advise
please..
Thanks so much for this wonderful group.

This is true. I used to have very horrible acne. No more thank
goodness. I used Mary Kay cosmetics because nothing else worked like
they did. They have this system that was a cleanser, scrub or mask
(due to my acne problem you can’t use a scrub because it spread the
infection that is in the acne), astringent and then believe it or not
moisturizing lotion.
what I was finding is that I would think i needed to wash all of the
oil off. The truth is yes you do but if you don’t have a oil free
moisturizer than your oil glands DO kick into power mode.
I don’t know anyone anymore who sells it but I am sure you can find
someone in your area. Everything I tried from the store didn’t work
like that did. I now take an anti-inflammatory that also has anti-
acne in it but very very expensive. You might want to try Mary Kay
skin care first as I think that is only $60 plus tax. What I use at
this point because my son has overcome eczema with it is $285 the
first month and $250 each month after that. Definitely, if interested
try the Mary Kary skin care first :O).

Hi Kaltan, I have suffered with acne for 5 years and also have oily
skin to the day. I have found the most wonderful products in the
market period. I mean they really work, you see if you have oily
skin it is wise not to over wash your face due to the effects of the
oil glands they produce excess oil. Try and only wash your face
twice, but with a neutral soap bar. Don’t use over the counter
products because they tend to be more harsh and strong for our type
of skin. I also don’t recomend using Lemon juice or white vinegar
because it will damage your natural skin moisture. Try these
products, I truly recommend them as a former acne sufferer. visit
www.herbs4cure.com and check the Margarite acne pills, which are
cheap. And also go to www.dermaclear.com it is also a cheap way.
I recommend them both.
