Clean scrub Clear problem with clean and clear blackhead scrub?
i recently started using clean and clear blackhead scrub to wash my face. The directions say to use all over the face, but when i do this i get flakey skin on two areas on my face, right under my nose and the top of my nose between my eyes! is the salicylic acid drying out those two areas? or is the flakey skin just places that need to be exfoliated? whats up with that and what should i do because i really love this face wash on my blackheads!
I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.
Unfortunately, alot of the commercial products dont do the trick when it comes to blackheads or pimples. Blackheads are bacteria filled pores that have oxidized because they've come out to the surface. You need a good skin care regimen plus a professional place that will give you a good facial and clean out your pores.
Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!
Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?
However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.
However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.
If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.
If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.
The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.
The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.
Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?
Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:
www.aboutyourskincare.com
You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.
Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.
They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.
A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):
Night time:
1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer
The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com
As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.

Irrespective of the location, whether it is polishing the floor in a restaurant or washing the windows of a 747, it is easy to get into the cleaning industry at various levels. Housekeeping jobs are suitable for those who are looking for short-term jobs. However, housekeeping jobs have repetitive tasks, and involve a pre-planned routine. The garbage removal and hospital housekeeping career is more stable, and can last for years.
There are numerous job openings in the cleaning industry, providing far better options to choose from, including disaster clean up, upholstery and carpet cleaning, eavestrough cleaning and window washing. Cleaners also carry out wastewater restoration, removal of industrial toxins, and cleaning out plugged sewer pipes after using televised inspection devices.
Requirements
The cleaning industry is divided into two sectors, consumer and commercial. Cleaning crews and house cleaners are hired to clean offices, hotel hallways, rooms, bathrooms etc. You may want to combine the two depending on your preferences. Applying and getting a job in the industry greatly depends on what services you can offer. Keeping the customer happy is an underlying requirement to help the business thrive.
A set of predefined rules and regulations are set down for the employees before they start the job in any organization. The employees are expected to follow these rules, as customer satisfaction depends on how well the cleaning staff does its work. Usually, customers don't visit a particular hotel or restaurant again if the service they received isn't satisfactory. This directly affects the business as well as the reputation of the employees. However, both the customer and the managing department should know their limitations. To prevent any kind of conflict, the client should be given a clear idea about the working of the management.
Some people opt for independent work, if they have a thorough knowledge of the working of the industry, and ample experience to take up jobs on their own. Others decide upon franchising. In which case, they can set their own rules and administer the working on their own, without consulting any outer managing company.
Options In The Cleaning And Service Industry
The service industry has grown over the years, and it is no longer limited to housecleaning tasks. Here are some of the jobs available in this industry:
Building Superintendent - Cleaning and maintaining the surroundings of a business. Co-ordinate renovations and repairs, team up with tenants and owners to maintain a safe environment. They earn about $12,110 to $66,440 per year.
Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner - Gauge the nature of the job and administer the cleaning accordingly. Cater to customer needs and develop a healthy rapport with the customer. They can work on an hourly or commission basis.
Hazardous Waste Management Technologist - This is an industrial job, and the knowledge of machines and petrochemical companies is needed. On the job training, and post secondary education is the minimum experience and education required for this job.
Cleaning, by its nature, is not a "clean" job. If it were, the need for house cleaners would never arise. People would happily scrub grime off from floors without complaining. Every industry and organization needs cleaning and maintenance from time to time. This is the reason the industry has grown and prospered over the years. There are said to be more avenues opening up in the near future.
