Everyone has zits, how do you deal with them?

im 14 and i have some zits on my forhead. i wash my face every night and i shower every morning so its not from being dirty its just part of being a teen. at first i was mad but now i just accepted it and im looking for ways to try to control them. i dont have tons just like 4 and they kind of hurt when i touch them. any good creams or face washes or anything?Everyone has zits, how do you deal with them?
Well first of all- DONT touch them. Touching your face all the time just spreads bacteria and oils. And I would recomend Neutrogena Acne Washes. They work pretty good on my skin. And before you use any cleanser, put a warm cloth on your face to open your pores, then wash it with the cleanser- this will result in a better deep down clean. Also, after cleansing use a toner (Clean and Clear toner is really good). This controls redness and helps to eliminate zits as well. Good luck!Everyone has zits, how do you deal with them?
I use a lot of Clean and Clear washes and lotions. It's not too expensive, and it's effective. Go to a dermatologist though if it gets worse or if your mom or father had bad skin problems when they were your age. (I'm 14 too) Your more prone to get acne if they had it kinda bad. Going to a dermatologist will work though. Acne is more of an infection almost. Dermatologists have tons of effective pills, washes, and lotions they'll clear your acne if you keep using them.
i use nutrogena cream clenser (mornign and night)

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?





If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.





Plus, if you are a male at 14 your body releases excess testostorone which promotes body growth but at the same time it also stimulates your oil glands to over work and thus you get breakouts.





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





Morning:





1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser


2. Moisturizing cream





The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Viisit the website I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.





I suggest you check out the website with one of your parents.





Good Luck to you,
