Nightmare Come True

She'd decided that if the nanocleanse worked in just a day, why not use it several times a day and get rid of her problem skin even faster. surely the product would work even faster, wouldn't it?

She opened the medicine cabinet and took the acne scrub from the shelf. With shaky hands, she opened the jar and applied the scrub to her troubled skin. At first, there was a tingling sensation, but then she felt a searing pain that made her skin feel as if it were on fire.

Grabbing for a wet cloth, she scrubbed the product off her face, but the pain would not cease. It was a nightmare come true.

Years Ago

My uncle who was married into the family, had a nephew who could have benefited from an acne scar removal product had it been as available 19 years ago as it is today.

I remember him well because his scars were very bad and I often wondered how much it affected his social life. I know I remember one of my cousins whispering behind his back about his acne problem and how gross it looked, so I can only imagine how hurtful strangers were to him.

I know I'm thankful I don't have acne scars, even though I can admit to the occasional crazy pimple breakout, thanks to work. I just hope for those who are suffering through those teenage and even adult hormone scars today, that you'll keep your head high no matter how bad the situation seems.

Going Home

She stared at the television screen in the lobby, trying to concentrate on the commercial for what the company considered the best acne treatment
on the market today.

Her best friend had just boarded his flight, promising to get plenty of photos of the show and apologizing for leaving her to wait for a taxi. Some friend he turned out to be. "I packed my keys in my luggage. I'm so very sorry hun." He'd said.

Seriously, could this day get any worse? She glanced out the front lobby window just as the yellow taxi pulled up and the driver stepped out.

He was tall, muscular with dark skin and long curly brown hair. She smiled as she stood up and made her way out the lobby's double doors. Maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all.

Another Quick Peek of Yet Another Novel I'm Working On

Andy Philips grinned at Allie Trenton’s foster parents. They nodded in approval to his boyish charm and good looks as they saw it. To Allie he was an overweight college slob too horny for his own good who needed a good dose of acne lotion. She wasn’t thrilled with the choice they had made. Something suggested from a neighbor, his aunt just down the street. She was never allowed to choose her own dates or even friends. One of her parents many rules.

They were strict only because they wanted her money. She had been in their foster care since birth, Allie’s birth parents had given her up, never to be heard from again. Allie‘s foster father was a “Be back here by nine.” Her mother called after them.

He smiled and waved to them until they were gone and then turned to Allie.

“Well now, aren’t they just the happy couple.” He laughed.

“Greedy that’s all.”

“So we’re off to party.” He grinned.

“I thought it was pizza and a movie.” She said to him. He was a nervous driver as his hands shook on the steering wheel Allie noted.

“Hot babes, a few brewskies and a lot of friends. I’m a real popular man.” Wondering if he was the laugh of the party she put on her best smile and prayed the rest of the night would end quickly.

Learn to Love Mother Nature

As I stated earlier, the best treatment for pimples is a natural acne treatment, and not one chalked full of chemicals. Those creams you're using on your face and the pills your swallowing to clear up that skin problem, are full of dangerous chemicals that over the years can destroy your skin and your body.

Okay, sure it might take years, but when that time comes, chances are you'll regret it! It's like bathing in the sun to get a nice golden sun tan, only to find out years later you have skin cancer because beauty was more important.

When it comes to the choices we make in our lives mother nature is usually best.

Just Say No to Chemicals

Did you know that the best acne treatments you can use on your skin is actually just eating a healthy diet and keeping your hands away from your face.

Most creams that you find on the market are loaded with harsh chemicals that can actually damage your skin over the years. So when you have a pimple breakout and run right out and throw on the latest cream for acne, you're slapping on a whole lot of harsh ingredients on your face.

And if your acne problem isn't as simple as a pimple or two, you may want to consider keeping an eye on your diet. Or try a natural product that isn't loaded with harsh ingredients like a bleaching agent or drying alcohol.

Home Beauty Remedies

I don't know about you, but I'm all for things like acne home remedies. I have always believed that anything that is natural is much better than products that are chalked full of chemicals which can harm our bodies both inside and out.

It took me years however, to learn just that. Sad, but true and even though it's taken me years, it's never to late to start living a healthier life both inside and out!

Being One With Nature

I'll be very honest. I'm not one who's a fan of taking pills. I don't care if they're suppose to be all natural or not. The bottom line is even natural pills contain chemicals due to their solid form.

But then there are things like an acne pill that promises results of better skin. It's an easy way out for most because they don't want to bother to just let their skin breathe or keep in clean or try a more natural topical cream to reduce an acne problem.

I understand the need to want to look better, but pills in my opinion are just not the answer. Still, there will be those who will be stubborn enough that they would much rather take the easier way out and if that's you, please do your research before you just hump right in and buy any product!

Moving On

Sometimes life can be about pain and sometimes it can be about ignorance. Either way, someone is bound to get hurt. And there will be a few of us who will do something about it and those who won't be able to afford to or will choose not to for whatever tortured reason.

For those who decide to choose to move on from the past they may opt for something like acne scar removal or simply cover it up with cosmetic makeup. And while I have been blessed with not having major acne, I remember a family member of my cousin's who did have a very bad case of acne, that it left very deep scars all over his face.

I have not seen him in years, but I often wonder, did he move on? Or is he still in the past fearing the worst from society's unforgiving stares and words. I hope he was able to move on.

Sheila

He traced the infected spots scattered across his face and frowned. Why would Sheila ever look his way when he looked like he had a permanent case of the measles. People usually avoided him like the plague and the fact that his near loss of sight which caused him to need glasses didn't help.

Maybe if he used an acne treatment cream on his face, got contacts and a hip new haircut, she'd notice him then. But why should he change? What made her, no them, so special that he needed to look like them just to be one of them. No. He would never be one of them.

He would never stoop to their level. She would have to like him for who he is, not for who she wanted him to be. He traced the acne on his face one last time and then walked out of the beauty isle. He had more important things to worry about and Sheila was no longer one of them.

No More!

If you read my posts, then you probably know that I've talked about acne a few times. The reason for this is because I've had a few breakouts that wouldn't go away. Well, I don't know what I'm doing right, but I can finally say that the acne breakouts I had, have finally gone away!

Maybe it's the diet I've went to since I've been eliminating a lot of greasy foods or maybe it's the products I've been using on a daily basis to keep my skin clean. Whatever it was, it seems to have helped!!!

For those of us who are still troubled with the stuff, you might want to check out the 5 Best acne Treatments and see if any of them might work for you. For me, I'd rather not dry my face out with harsh chemicals, but that's just my opinion.

Stress and the Skin

A few weeks ago I remember I had one of those little nose blackhead strip removers left and decided to use it. In all honesty, I really didn't expect to find anything coming off of the strip.

As it turns out, there were quite a few blackheads on my nose. Yuck. I already know it's from the stress I've been under. Anytime I'm under a lot of stress, I have some form of breakouts. Luckily I haven't had any real major ones, which means my stress is dwindling down a little.

When I do have breakouts, however. I usually find myself wondering what the best nose blackheads or acne treatment there is out there. Who's good and who's not? Who do you trust?

A while back I found GetAcneTreatments.com to be a decent place for acne reviews. What works and what doesn't. It's the only iste I know about that gives reviews. What do you think?

Acne Breakout!!!

Lately I've been breaking out with Acne. I'm not sure if it's an adult change or due to stress. It's on my face, my neck and even my shoulders. To get the acne under control I've been using a product I bought at our local store. So far I haven't seen any improvement.

I wonder is there a better way for acne control? Can I just use an ointment or do I need a soap or cleanser as well? What about acne pads? I've tried acne pads before, but the problem I have with them is that they over-dry my skin. I already have dry skin, so using anything that has alcohol in it is a really bad thing for me. So what's a girl to do?

Natural or Not.

Despite how many times dermatologists remind people to take good care of their skin, they often don't. Yes, there are some of us out there who are dedicated to keeping our skin looking healthy and beautiful, but what about those who really don't have the time.

And teenagers? They might have the time, but acne is a big issue when you're a teenager and most products that claim they work, don't.

So for those who do make it a point to keep their skin looking healthy and beautiful, what about the product? Does it make good on it's promises or do you end up pitching it in the garbage, eventually? Do you care if it's good for your skin or not? Does it have to be all natural? What about a natural acne treatment?

Would you consider it if you thought it might work and is better for your skin? What's your opinion on natural skin care products?

Acne and Self-Esteem

As a teenager I never really had a problem with acne. However since I have gotten older, I find that I have quite a few acne breakouts. While my acne is not as serious as some, even a small case of acne can have a devastating effect on self-esteem.

For most, treating acne is as easy as an over-the-counter treatment, but not everyone's skin is created equal. When over-the-counter acne treatments just won't work, a stronger medication may be needed. If that's the case, you may want to try a stronger acne treatment prescribed by a dermatologist. If a dermatologist isn't an option you may want to give www.acnecuresrevealed.net a try.

Please remember to do your research before starting any acne treatment program.

Help for Teens with Acne

While I have never had a real problem with Acne, I know of friends who have. While most of my friends have passed their high school years of Acne troubles, those years for some, were the most painful years of their lives.

Let's face it, High School can be painful enough as it is. But when you're troubled with Acne, it can be even worse. High School peers can often be cruel to those who are already facing low self-esteem as a result from Acne. Even worse is the fact that that low self-esteem can result in depression, a very serious matter. A matter that no one should ever have to experience.

Unfortunately, mother nature doesn't work that way. Often when Acne strikes, many teens try the popular treatments on the market that are approved for Acne. While some may work for a specific skin type, many may not.

If you're not sure what acne treatment is best for your skin type and you've tried all of the other the counter products, you might want to check out SyberVision's Reviews and their list of what they consider to be the best Acne products that are available on today's market.

SyberVision's Reviews might not be the answer to High School's most painful moments, but they can help when it comes to the troublesome problem of Acne.
