Acne and dry skin?

so, recently i have begun breaking out on my cheeks, along with dry skin in the areas where im breaking out. i have some medium sized, annoying pimples, as well as small, under the skin ones. i'm unsure about what to use at night to get rid of the breakouts, because i don't want to irritate the dry patches any more than they already are, but i really wouuld like to get rid of, or at least diminish the appearance of my breakouts. i use neutrogena cleanser at night, and then i use salycic acid treatment on the spots where i'm breaking out. but im starting to wonder if the sacilyic acid is making it more dry? i don't know how else to treat the blemishes while also healing my dry skin. it's extremely aggravating!!! if anyone could help it would be wonderful.





thank you!!

Acne tips..





This is literally too much heat - your face has become a volcano just to let it out! Try mung bea, seagrass, seaweed, Chinese hawthorn (shan zha), Job's tears (yi yi ren), and purple sage (dan shen). Avoid spicy foods, greasy foods, and fried foods. Try some raw vegetables, too.





Dry Skin tips...





Moistening herbs and foods are soy, spinach, asparagus, millet, barley, salt, seaweed, apple, tangerine, pinenut, persimmon, peanut, pear, honey, oysters, and clams. A seaweed facial wrap would be nice, too!http://www.facenbodycare.com/Beating_Dry...

Reply:Try one of the lines like clean and clear or neutrogena if cost is an issue, however, PROACTIVE is awesome!!!!!!!!! It is important to remember that even problem skin needs moisture and nourishment. NOT OIL but water moisture. Always Cleanse Tone and Moisturize/treat. Also you MUST exfoliate with a scrub, this removes the dry patchy dead skin. Your skin is probably not dry, but instead needs exfoliation. The exfoliating also stimulates the cell metabolism(very good thing to do). In your case I recommend clean and clear with microscrubbers because it is not harsh and contains blemish fighting ingredients. DO NOT be alarmed if you break out at first, the skin will start to purge itself...this is a good thing. BE PERSISTANT. Also be very aware of EVERYTHING that touches your skin. I have my clients change their pillowcase EVERY night and use only 100% cotton and white pillow cases!!!!!!! Think about it, you lay there all night with infected pustules(ZITS) then come back and do that again, and if you have a pet and it was there while you were gone or your little brother snuck in and layed on your pillow.....YUCK!!!


I am an esthetician( 19 years now) and I HAVE problem skin.


Proactive is a MIRACLE!. It works for almost everybody and the mask is great for trouble shooting at night. It is a little more pricey but WORTH IT!!! Email me if you have any more questions. I became an esthetician to help people with problem skin.
Reply:This is called the honey mask:





You will need PURE honey as it will dehydrate your skin and clear your blemishes and about half of a banana; the banana will moisturize your skin. Mix both together in a small bowl and put it on your face for 10 minutes, make sure you get it everywhere on your face especially the areas where you have the blemishes/acne.





After 10 minutes, rinse it off with a gentle cleanser (I recommend cetaphil or st. ives apricot cleanser because it washes away the dirt and oil on your face and cleans your face); also while you are rinsing your face, use luke warm water and then cold water to open and close your open to prevent acne.





After that, take some clean and clear persa gel 10 (works awesome!) and put that on before going to bed, next morning, rinse off and I swear your skin will feel sooo smooth and soft, also it will feel much more fresher and it will look radiant and clear your acne!





Also dont touch yoru skin because your hands contain natural oils on it which causes acne and oily skin, so avoid touching it!





And wash your face twice a day, morning and night
Reply:All those acids can really do a number on delicate skin areas such as cheeks. I recommend using Burts Bees Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub. Though I have only been using it for about a month now. My skin is the cleanest and clearest it has ever been. Its all natural and they don't test on animals and after you use it I swear you face will feel amazingly clean and also hydrated and not dry. Keep with it every night and your skin should be clear. If you don't want to buy online. You can buy it at Target or Ulta. Good luck

Reply:Salicylic acid IS drying out your skin...which you want for the acne, but not for the dry skin.





I recommend Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I use a small amount of it on my face after whatever regimen I happen to be on (whether it was when I was on a super oil day, or an Accutane "my skin HURTS it's so dry" day) and my skin is so much better.





Because your skin is so dry, your body is trying to produce extra oil to moisturize it...but it is backfiring and causing acne instead. By moisturizing, you prevent your skin from producing all that extra oil.
Reply:This is what I do:





Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.





Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON鈥楾 EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.





Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.





Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don't scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.





An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.





Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.





Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don't pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.





If you have sensitive skin, don't use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands a full of bacteria and oils.
