i know you should switch your shampoos ever so often so it gets rid of build up and makes it cleaner. but does changing what you are washing your face/body with do the same thing? just wondering so i know to rotate what i'm using.Is switching your face wash better for getting rid of acne?
never switch your facewash if u have been using it for a while..it could break your face outIs switching your face wash better for getting rid of acne?
Acne is caused by a lot of things. Maybe the problem is with the food you are eating. Too much oily and greasy food could also cause acne. I don't know if switching face wash have the same effect as switching shampoos. But I guess, it would be wise to use a face wash with antibiotic or something if you have acne and to switch to a milder face wash when you have clearer skin.
I use aloe vera-based facial products. It does not only clear my pimples, but also prevents scarring.
USE PROACTIV AND THERE WILL BE NO NEED IN THE ?

These are some effective home remedies for the treatment of acne and blackheads.
Proactive solution is the best I've heard but also a gentle exfoliant like Clean %26amp; Clear works for me plus drinking plenty of water and taking at least 1000mg of vitamin C per day and also some CoQ10 is good for the skin.
Since taking those plus Omega 3 fatty acids (which our body does not make on it's own so you have to eat fish and flax seed etc) my skin has cleared up tremendously and I am 40 years old and didn't have acne as a teenager.
Also if the face wash you're using is drying then that is another reason you're getting acne, the skin needs to be cleaned with a low pH cleanser, like Dove (they have a great gentle exfoliant too you can use it daily)and you need a low pH toner, I find the Dove product line best. I have used it for 5 years now and I used to switch cleansers to whatever I could find on sale. Yes your face will break out when you switch cleansers but that could be because either 1. your skin was not being cleaned properly by the last cleanser you used, 2. your allergic to something in the cleanser,3. you have food sensitivities that can cause acne, like to corn, wheat, dairy and even some fruits.
and it's also not true you need to switch shampoos to get rid of build up, all shampoos are exactly the same (Paula Begoin wrote a book called Don't Go to the Cosmetics counter without me, it explains it well)
To get rid of shampoo build up a simple rinse with lemon juice or vinegar combed through your hair and rinsed with warm water prior to shampooing and follow up with a good conditioner, conditioners are where you should spend your money.
Also acne can be caused by shampoo and conditioners and hair care products, do your hair before you wash your face when you get out of the shower. That helps too.
amild soap or cleanser for oily skin is good. depending on the severity of acne,i have found ProActive Solution to work great.
tricky question... as the skin gets used to a product it can either react by healing, sensitivity or breaks out.
so... when you change to a new product you might at first break out a little more until it takes effect
If it isn't working try something else.
Depends on what you're using. You should be using a mild, pure soap such as Ivory and a good astringint. Do wash your face more than once a day, and do use a clean washcloth rather than your hands. You can use the same washcloth for the whole day as long as you only use it on your face and rinse it out well after each use. If the products you are using on your skin are too harsh, you can do more harm than good; and if you just randomly switch soaps, you may use something to which you are sensitive without knowing it until you develop other skin problems. Talk to your doctor or to a dermatologist if you need more in-depth guidance or if your acne is quite severe.
Yeah, after awhile you will eventually build up a tolerance for it and it will lose it's effect on your skin.
u can change but have to be change it to that can really cure for acne
