Ahah, I just killed the twat. Finally. :rolleyes:

The secret to clear skin? Forget the 18738934289234 million acne-treating products - just drink water. No joke. Water. I swear I go through about 3 litres a day, not to all the mention fruit + veggies. It's true when they say beauty comes from the inside. ;)
It's not true for everyone

everyone says that, but i have clear skin because of cetaphil and regular hydrating masks. and also because i avoid foundation at all times if i can help it. if you dont let anything sit on your skin, it cant cause breakouts.
Yeah, Cetaphil's a great, mild, daily cleanser. Hydrating masks are also useful for dry skin. Do what you need to do to remove dirt and grease, and include water to the equation. I find my skin stays clear (except for the odd pimple) and has a healthier glow as well.

Drink 3 litres of water a day for the next 2 months. You may not be pimple-free but I guarantee your skin will improve.

I'm not saying anyone should avoid using products altogether. You need something to remove dirt deposits, and something to restore moisture and protect your skin from the environment (the sun is unkind to the skin).

The rest is up to you. Skincare products can only do so much.

I believe you that skin would improve. Some people have shitty skin so they need to use products. Not necessarily over the counter products either.

Of course you should still use products. I see so many people overload their skin with harsh, drying products that don't do aything - strong cleansers, toners with alcohol, harsh scrubs, too much benzoyl peroxide, and then filmy moisturisers that just sit on the skin!

Anyone that follows a good skincare routine and a good diet, and still has a lot of pimples should just get their asses to the doctor. Products aren't going to help there.

I rarely have pimples, but when I do, its always on a cheek. Just shave over it and treat it like a shaving cut. Put some aftershave on, and voila!

i do believe a healthy diets the key to avoidng them though. Although, a good diet wont prevent you from getting them of course.

Thank god for concealer!
doesnt concealer just make them worse?
cause it blocks the pores up and the sweat and stuff has nowhere to go and its makes more pimples?

I had one on the back of my neck this mornin'. i fixed its wagon...

it isnt too bad, as long as you cleanse your face well at night. and you can get herbal-based ones which actually help clear the skin and dry out the pimple. i have tony and tina concealer.

swifty, tea tree oil is a lot better than lavender. although you cant use it too often or it dries your face out.

lavender is awesome for insomnia though.

in my experience unless you leave cosmetics on overnight, they dont generally cause more pimples.

and lavender oil on your temples is good for relaxation and helps you get to sleep.
