2- Exfoliate several times a week. Exfoliating with alpha or beta-hydroxy acids or scrubs can get rid of the dull, rough outer layer of skin. While cleansing my skin before bed I use buf puf gentle facial sponge by 3M (purchase online). Once I week I exfoliate using an acid peel. (Try St. Ives Medicated Apricot Exfoliating Daily Cleansing Cloths with salicylic acid)
3- Drink at least 8 glasses (total 64oz.) of water a day. This will help clear your skin and give it a glow because it will help rid toxins from your body.
4- Protect and treat your skin with antioxidants. My #1 must have is Vitamin C . A pharmaceutical grade Vitamin C serum immediately minimizes and soothes the visible effects of environmentally damaged skin to create healthy, youthful glowing skin. Vitamin C also helps to lighten skin and improving the appearance of acne scars. Some of the best serums I have found are Image Vital C and Obagi professional Vitamin C (comes in 5,10,15 & 20%) Currently I am using the C RX system from Obagi that contains the 10% serum. You can find the best deals on serums at Ebay.com
5-Use a weekly moisturizing or anti-aging mask on face and neck, preferably after exfoliating the skin. You can make your own moisturizing mask, check out our posts for avocado or pumpkin mask.
6-Do NOT pick at existing blemishes. I know its hard but when you pick at or pop a pimple, you are spreading the bacteria from that onto the rest of your face. When a blemish pops up dab on a little tea tree oil, or lavender essential oil. They are both are anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Lavender is especially great to use because it also calms the skin reducing redness. If by chance you had picked at a blemish, apply neosporin to irritated skin. Neosporin will kill bacteria and help it heel quicker and lessen the chance of it leaving a scar.

Long time follower first time commenter… <br /><br />Acne scars… I got them in my teens and now in my mid twenties they are getting worse with age. My skin is clear but the scars remain. Do you know of anything to help with that? I have thought about a chemical peel but I am not so sure if that would help with them. What are your thoughts?
Delia
These were great tips. I never thought to use lavender oil. Thanks!

My question is black heads..yuck! I just used dove soap while I was pregnant and now my nose has lots of blackheads. I've been using St.Ive's and the clarisonic mia for about 2 months…but no change yet! Any other ideas?!

WOW! Thanks for this. My skin, unfortunately, scars so easily. I don't even have to mess with said blemish and I will have a little "reminder" that it was there. Pooey. Neosporin is genius. I'm going to try that. Also, I take Niacin and have found that it helps my skin tremendously. My face would constantly pop up with pimples and since I've been taking it regularly

How often do you apply the vitamin c serum? Thanks for this wonderful info – love it!

What order should you use your products in? for instance, I cleanse, moisturize and then pore minimize. I am confounded by the order and have switched it and can't figure out which is the best order. please advise.
Shwin R
First you would want to cleanse 2x, than tone, apply an eye cream, than any serums or treatments ( your pore minimizer) last you would apply your moisturizer. The only thing that you would use after a moisturizer would be a spot treatment for a blemish.

I get these whiteish bumps off and on all over my face a few at a time. The dermatologist said it is a type of acne. It look like a skin colored bump…nothing there to pop and they aren't painful. They take several months to go away. Can you please tell what they are and what I can do to get rid of them quicker! Thanks so much<br /><br />Aimee<br />[email protected]

There are a few reasons for these types of bumps, the most common reasons would be a slow cell turnover or allergies. When you have a slow cell turnover you get clogged pores along with thick skin which often results in bumps of built up dead skin where there isn't puss or anything to extract. Chemical peels or microdermabrasion every month followed by at home gentle exfoliant will help to
