exfoliating acne

What kind of exfoliate should you use for ';back acne';?

I'm starting to get some..and I want it GONE, but i don't want to use an exfoliate that might irritate my skin or make things worse.

Would just a normal facial exfoliate work?

(I have Clean and Clear's Morning Burst)

I also have this body exfoliant in-shower stuff from The Body Shop.

Help..?

the body shop stuff should work but i also use the exfoliating gloves from there to.there tea tree oil products work great.What kind of exfoliate should you use for ';back acne';?
I have had the same problems and I'm big into home remedies. I used a mix of regular sugar and olive oil. I use it all over and its a great exfoliate and it keeps your skin hydrated. And during the summer, if you enjoy watermelon, keep the rinds. (Like the green and white-sh part) Before you go to bed, rub the inside of the rind on your back (it works for your face too!) and it will draw out the dirt and bacteria. It may look bad at first but its just cleaning out your skin. I hope it works for you!!
Use a normal acne wash or Murad from Bath/Body workds.

It has beads in the wash.

Use a lufa or brush on a stick to scrub your back.

Small doses of the sun help too.
go to the dermatologist and ask for glycone... I use it and it really works! =D

What happens if you exfoliate your face while you have a lot of acne?

Exfoliating once a week is safe, but any more than that and you risk opening the acne and spreading the bacteria all over your face. Your acne will spread and if you continue to exfoliate, and rub off that skin that's trying to heal, you can end up with terrible acne and later on, terrible acne scars. Take cues from your skin, if you can feel dead flaking skin, exfoliate, if it feels a bit raw and sensitive, don't exfoliate! Your skin produces natural oils which protects and helps heal that acne you have now, but be careful or you will end up with permanent marks, gentle is always best. Try tea tree oil products!

When you exfoliate your face, you're removing the top layer (layers if you scrub too hard) of skin along with dead skin cells, dirt, and oil. Generally, it will help your acne, but it is sooo important to put a moisturizing cream on afterward. You should mix a bit of acne cream (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, triclosan, adapalene, etc...) in with something like Cetaphil on after you exfoliate, and you should only do it before you go to bed, then wash your face in the morning with a MILD cleanser, again, Cetaphil to the rescue...they have a moisturizing cleanser. You mustn't exfoliate too often (everyone has different skin; Still, 1-3 times per week max). If you've got insurance, get a referral to a dermatologist---if you can't help yourself within a month or so. Sulfur acne products, I believe, work the best. A few years ago, I asked my doctor to write me a compound Rx with: 5% benzoyl peroxide, 2% salicylic acid, 2% clindamycin, %26amp; 5% sulfur....most pharmacies offer compounding services, %26amp; that way, you can avoid spending so much money on all these different OTC meds by having them lumped into one Rx and paying a single co-pay. good luckWhat happens if you exfoliate your face while you have a lot of acne?
hi, ok if you have ALOT of acne using a exfoilater can be very bad for it.

becuase the grainy little beads in the wash are rubbing against your acne it can cuase scarring to your face and over dry it.

you should only exfoiliate once a week, and do it very gently. or use a gentle exfoilater. it is also bad for people WITHOUT acne to exfoiliate too much. i cant remember exactly why, but its got something to do with the top layer of your skin always having new weaker? cells.
With the word ';exfoliate'; this means to wash the skin off. Now, why wouldn't you want to wash the loose skin off and be clean.

Which 1 more effective on acne-prone skin? GinveraMarvelGel w GreenTea / Bio-essence Deep Exfoliating Gel?

Or have any more recommendations to make? heard that the Ginvera one can make skin red and itchy - is it true? currently use bio-essence one but more expensive than the ginvera, thinking of switching to ginvera now. Bio-essence is currently satisfactory though.Which 1 more effective on acne-prone skin? GinveraMarvelGel w GreenTea / Bio-essence Deep Exfoliating Gel?
Studies have shown that just about anything you put on your face will help. Toothpaste. AloeVera. Mayonnaise. Just mix it up, and drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.

What other product besides Retin-A will help exfoliate my skin and prevent acne?

Try something natural. Tea tree oil works extremely well for acne. Its costs about $10.00 at stores like CVS or your local health food store. Put some on a cotton ball and apply after you wash your face. Has a strong earthy smell that may take a little getting used to. Almost like vicks vapo rub, but my kids seem to like it. Itcan be used for so many other thimgs too. Here is a link for additional information:

Is exfoliating my face going to do anything about my acne?

Probably not Is exfoliating my face going to do anything about my acne?
It depends with what.

Just a simple scrub to remove dead skin will probably just irritate your skin if you use it too much. But if you use a scrub with acne medication in it (like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Daily Scrub), the results will be much better! Is exfoliating my face going to do anything about my acne?
It will do if you do it long enough.

I know a chap who now has only one cheek. The other one just disappeared in his exfoliating cream.

He is still trying to get rid of the other as it is still covered in acne.
Just start washing your face with water only and your acne will probably dissapear altogether,,failing that use simple soap,,not perfumed,not coloured just kind
No but a paper bag over your head will!

First of all,when it comes to acne treatment it is really important that you have a complete set of skincare products which consists of cleanser,toner and moisturizer.Carry these 3 steps twice daily and you'll see improvements in your skin.It is best not to mix products since it could cause chemical reactions and worsen your skin.Personally,I think that your acne worsen because of the Oxy Pad and it's better for you to stop from using it.This is because benzoyl peroxide could make your skin worse if you have sensitive skin type.Switch to a more gentle product if you want.You could also try these homemade remedies to treat your acne.Good luck trying these at home(:

Honey Paste-Another easy and effective homemade acne treatment is to make a paste of honey with cinnamon and nutmeg. All you need is about one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and about half of it nutmeg powder. Add some honey to make enough paste to cover the inflammed area completely. Just lie down as honey may dribble down. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes and wash with luke warm water.

Orange peel-Homemade Acne Treatment using Orange peel has been found very effective. Pound the orange peel with water on a piece of stone and apply to acne affected areas.

Basil tea-Basil tea like neem is effective in killing bacteria. Drinking it twice a day can do wonders to the skin.

Coconut Oil-Coconut oil is a cheap and easily available acne solution. Regular use of coconut oil over a period of time helps to clear your skin.

Lemon Juice-A simple remedy at home for acne: Apply lemon juice regularly to reduce pimples and acne. This has proven beneficial results.

Well,these are the remedies that work gentle on your skin while getting rid of acne.Hope this helps and great skin wishesCan I use a acne treatment after exfoliating? Also what acne products should i use? Please answer, Thanks! :)?
It might be that the Benzol Peroxide is too much for you. You should really start out in small amounts and then work your way up. But seriously you should see your doctor, only after I saw my doctor did I get better. GO SEE YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR HE/SHE CAN HELP YOU! I MEAN IT

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I hope this helps. =)
