what are your secrets to keeping your skin acne free, or to get rid of any unwanted skin marks ( stretch marks, acne scars, scars, redness , and such)

for stretch marks i would use left over coffee bean grinds and let them sit on my stretch marks and it would help

Trixtabella

I started using Freederm their face scrub and moisturiser and my skin has cleared up a treat.

I have stretch marks from 4 pregnancies....as far as I know they never really go away, just get lighter. Cocoa butter is supposed to help.:flowerforyou:

I used to have THE WORST acne. I tried EVERYTHING for my skin. (The first time I went to the dr about it I was actually asked if I had chicken pox) I tried all over the counter and prescription and such but the only thing that ever worked for me was a mixture of Roaccutane -(the harshest drug you can find for acne) and the Pill. I was on Roaccutane for 16 months (the normal dosage is usally only 6 months- usually NEVER over!) which gave me HORRIBLE side-effects (my skin would start bleeding from being so dry and fainting and getting sunburnt from being in the sun for less than 5 mins). I am now just on the Pill for my skin and use sorbolene but I have soooo many scars and redness!

With hormonal acne, the only real solution is to get at the root cause of it.

It is usually due to too much testosterone in one's system - caused by certain medications (bc pill, steroids) or endocrine disorders like PCOS.

In such cases, topical treatments rarely help.
