Many of you requested on how I conceal or soften Acne Scars, and here’s how I do it. EnJoy! check out Alans site for more helpful videos on Acne and Acne Scars: www.youtube.com

When I was in high school I suffered from something that is a normal, natural part of growing up. I had severe acne. I was teased all through school and some of my fellow students gave me the unforgettable and highly disgusting nickname “zitsface”. When I think about my high school days it makes me really feel bad. I had acne. Most of the kids had acne. but I had acute acne. I remember how desperately alone I felt and how I tried everything I could get my hands on to get rid of my boils, zits and pimples.

A common misconception is acne. is the result of poor hygiene. I believed that and for a time and created my own cure. I scrubbed and used alcohol and harsh soaps and cleansing agents. I even tried abrasive cleansers like Clorox® but I soon found out that what I was doing only made it worse. I showered several times a day and washed my face as often as I could get to a sink but all it did was make my fingers wrinkle. I now know that poor hygiene causing acne. is a myth and that washing my face continually only made my acne. spread, still I continued to scrub thinking if I just scrubbed a little more it would eventually work.

My mother insisted that acne. came from eating sweets especially chocolates, my favorite candy, but that was another fallacy. I stopped eating candy completely but it made no difference at all. Since I was a skinny kid and didn’t need to lose weight the lack of sweets in my diet did absolutely nothing for me.

I heard about an acne. remedy came from a friend’s grandmother. It was a mixture of herbs and yogurt that you smear on your face. It was messy and embarrassing and I felt stupid but I was so tired of being called zitsface that I would have tried anything. The herbs like turmeric that I mixed with the yogurt made my face turn yellow which made my acne.look even worse than it already looked. My piers saw the discoloration and my nickname zitsface was reinforced.

My sister’s answer to my acne problems involved her girlie lotions and potions. These seemed to work for her minor breakouts but it did nothing for me. That didn’t stop her from chiding me about using her creams and potions and thick night mask pastes.

A friend told me to buy some over the counter cream and apply it liberally and then seal it with ice bags so that it caked solid on my face. It was probably an inferior acne remedy or it could have just been the numbing coldness of the ice, but the combination of the cream and the ice made my acne. worse than it had ever been.

My sister continued to insist that if I just listened to her and used her creams and lotions I would be clear faced in no time, after all it had worked for her. For some the best acne remedy for acne. is time.

Many acne sufferers clear up when they reach maturity. The lucky ones get through it without scars or any evidence of a once colorful nickname like zitsface but I was not one of the lucky ones.

I suffered with acne. well into my 20s and even into my 30s until I found a program that made some sense. If you suffer from acne. like I did you may find this program interesting. Check it out below.
