Acne Remedies

I have dealt with terrible terrible acne since I was around 12 years old. Having been quite embarrassed by my spots as a teenager, I just wanted to get rid of them so I popped them. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! I am now left with scars and pockmarks which of course are not very attractive at all. The majority of the time I am able to hid my acne and marks by makeup but there are some days I just wish I could be bare faced and not try to hide away. And by wearing makeup you are just adding more to your skin to clog it up, vicious circle right?

I am now 24 and I still get spots, thank goodness not as bad as when I was a teenager but I am very self conscious about them. I would never dream about going out of the house without makeup on and my family & boyfriend (lucky him....) are the one people to really ever see me without any. 

So after reading a few blog posts and watching some Youtube videos, I have heard that evening primrose oil tablets are supposed to be fabulous for calming down hormonal acne. 

After reading Zoella's post about ReGen cream I have decided to also purchase this with my next paycheck and wish for the best regarding my scarring.



This blogspot has some wonderful ideas and I shall be borrowing some of the recipes for homemade face masks. They also mention that Aloe Vera gel and Tea Tree Oil are really good for treating acne. 

I will use both of these products for a while and will write a review on what I think about them and if they actually really work, I will keep yous posted!!!

Do you guys have any other acne treatments that have helped yous? Or know of any which have helped other people?

I am also looking for what sort of moisturiser and toner etc are the best, high street/drug store prices. Much appreciated :)

 Later skaters
Love S xoxo

    Hey Stephy!

    Here is my experience with acnes... I personally had no problems with skin during my teenage years. But now when I'm in my mid 20 acne appeared. For a long time nothing helped me. But lately I started using Aloe vera gel (as u mentioned). Twice a day (morning and evening) I use a normal cleaning gel for oily skin and then I put on aloe vera. In about 2 weeks my skin got like 50 % better. So to anybody who is reading this I would personaly recomend to try out aloe vera. It's also quite natural compared to other products out there.

    Take care

    xo,

    Kristi

    It's expensive but i've found Estee Lauder Night repair has helped my acne scarring loads. My forehead is covered in scars but it's really smoothing out and reducing the appearance :) xx

    I began to experience a lot of acne & skin sensitivity after my teenage years! & being twenty-something with acne was not fun! All through college, I was annoyed by my skin! After trying dozens of over the counter products, changing my diet, & seeing a dermatologist... My acne 'settled down', but I still did not have the nearly flawless face I wanted! Now I use a lot of vegan beauty products which have proven to work for me! I will have to give the primrose a try!
