i have very dry skin and i easily break out. i use an olay bar of soap to wash my face and i use olay beauty fluid to hydrate my skin. at night i use one of those little face scrubbers to scrub off the dead skin but when i apply my foundation it looks caked on and it looks flaky (I use neutragena for acne treatment. i need to use light things because i live in florida and it's so humid!) . what can i do to fix this problem?! please help im dying here
Try DOVE moisturizing bar instead of your other(Olay) bar, use a exfoliator/scrub, like St. Ives Invigorating Scrub- (it is the best) every day and if you are using the Neutrogena acne treatment , that will dry out your skin, for sure. Just use the acne creme on blemishes and do not spread all over your face....that is way too drying and is causing the flakiness.
1. Wash face 2x a day with Dove
2. Follow up with witch hazel, which has very low alcohol
3. Use the scrub every day
4. Use a light WATER-based moisturizer only on your DRY areas. Sounds like you have T-zone oiliness..-forehead-nose-chin area.
5. use blemish medication only where needed....
That should help to improve your problem, especially with that humidity
Cystic Acne Treatment - Discover The Effective Way Out Of Prescription Drugs
Cystic Acne is the most severe form of Acne Vulgaris and sometimes goes hand in hand with Nodular Acne to form Nodulocystic Acne. A Cystic Acne treatment usually consists of powerful prescription drugs such as Accutane, which reduces oil production, therefore preventing bacteria from thriving. However, the benefit is only temporary, leading to a dependency to the same drug or to different ones.
Like all kinds of acne, Cystic Acne is caused by an excessive sebum production in the follicles. This, combined with excessive skin desquamation, causes in turn the pore to become plugged. In this anaerobic environment the Propioni Bacteria develops, leaving a trail of waste materials as bypass digestive products. It is the latter that causes inflammation and pimples. When the follicle burst under pressure, waste materials from the bacteria floods the dermis, causing blood and white cells to rush in to fight the outbreak, thus pus is formed.
Now, two things can happen: if the follicle outbreak happens near the dermis surface, pimples or zits occur, which are relatively easier to cure. Unfortunately, if the outbreak occurs deep into the dermis, nodules or cysts develop. Nodules feel like hard lumps under the skin, and they build up as infected material reaches adjoining follicles. Cysts feel more like soft, fluid filled, and painful lumps. For no reason they should be picked or squeezed, as they can cause permanent scarring.
The usual protocol for cystic acne treatment is the prescription of Isotretinoin, commonly known as Accutane. This is a powerful and effective drug that can also have nasty side effects, both physical and psychological, like depression. Additionally, women must take care not to get pregnant for a month prior and one month after the course, to avoid birth defects on the newborn.
Furthermore, as for all drugs, acne drugs mainly cure the symptoms, not the root cause, so it is no surprise that after one course it is almost invariably necessary to start a new one and become effectively drug dependent. Not an ideal scenario for someone looking for a permanent solution. However, I am happy to say that a better cystic acne treatment does exist. It is an all natural solution that tackles the root cause of acne: hormonal unbalance, or excessive androgen production. It is this that causes the oil glands to work overtime, thus causing a domino like reaction of blocked pores, blackheads, pimples, or in the worst cases, cysts and nodules.
This drug free cystic acne treatment is based on a Holistic Idea, meaning whole, fully comprehensive. A Holistic System tackles all internal and external factors leading to hormonal unbalance, not just one at a time. This is why drugs only, diets only, or any other kind of natural treatment singly applied are all temporarily or partially effective.
A holistic cystic acne treatment can help get rid of this severe form of acne in weeks, freeing from years of frustration and random attempts while eliminating the root cause of acne, naturally and drug free.
