Get rid of Acne

I started to have acne when i was 14 and it was a horrible experience. I feel so ugly that i think that i look like a monster. I suffered from severe acne (cystic acne all over my face)that hurts!!.As a result I have very low self esteem and i become afraid to socialize with other people. A lot of people had given me advice but nothing really works. I thought that having a clear face is just a dream. But that dream came true and i am so happy. I lot of people noticed the difference and gave me compliments. So i decided to share the things that i did to get rid of acne. Use a mild cleanser with no scent such as Cetaphil, Clinique liquid soap and VMV Hypoallergenics. Shiseido White Lucent Gel Cleanser is good too but this one has scent I like cleanser that doesn't lather because bubbly cleanser makes my skin tight. Its like removing all the natural moisture on your face and it will soon become irritated . Cleanse your face 2x a day (in the morning before going to work and in the evening). Follow it with a no scent toner. I use VMV and Clinique I apply once a day only in the evening. I also apply moisturizer but not everyday because i am lazy and i think its not necessary because i have oily skin. As much a possible stay away from the sun and always apply sunblock with high spf (mine is spf40). You may also need to change your shampoo because you may not know it but some of the ingredients on your shampoo contains irritants and causes acne. Try to visit the VMV website to know more. Try using a baby shampoo and as much as possible choose skin care products that doesnt have scent because perfume is an irritant. Get a facial and a Diamond peel every 2 weeks. Thats about it, thank you for reading :).
