How should i cleanse my skin cuz im switching my acne treatment....?

i have been using the clean and clear acne control kit but it dries out my skin alot and its not working anymore





and i am about to buy skin ID.





what is a natural way to cleanse my skin of the the clean and clear stuff so that my face is clear of all the gross stuff when i get my skin ID kit.





thank you for your help!How should i cleanse my skin cuz im switching my acne treatment....?
Water and soap.


Those are very basic and shouldn't have any effect on your skin.


But...I think you shouldn't just switch...take some time before you use another one because your face could be use to the other one and may have a terrible reaction on your skin.


So I think it's fine to use water and soap for like a week and then start using Skin ID.





Good Luck.How should i cleanse my skin cuz im switching my acne treatment....?
Try making an exfoliate out of your favorite non-moisturizing soap and a handful of sugar. Just combine the two until you get a nice, thick cleanser and then gently scrub your face, neck and upper back. When you get out of the shower lightly blot your face to remove excess water and apply Aveno Complexion Clearing moisturizer, just one pump is more than enough to cover your face, arms, chest and neck. At first it might seem as if the moisturizer isn't working and actually making your skin worse but just give it some time to work it's magic...
theres really no way to ';prep'; your skin for a new acne cleanser. natuarlly, your going to break out once switching to any cleanser because your face has to get used to it and its also taking out all the toxins. ive used the skin ID and trust me, it does not work. ive tried tons of acne cleansers and the only one which was actually VERY effective was ';splash away cream cleanser'; by estee lauder and the ';daywear plus moisturizer'; by estee lauder. i know what your thinking.. estee lauder is for older women. its not!! im only 21 and it is hands down the best you can get. most cleansers take about a week to start working.. this one took only a couple of washes. its great. but dont forget to always wash your face with a facial sponge. especially if you have oily skin.
me too! i have used clean and clear before but it makes my skin extremely dry. neutrogena works amazingly for me. try the PINK GRAPEFRUIT face scrub, it works really well. my friend said the skin id was the best she ever tried and i personally like THE WAVE. i use it twice a day, it clears up my face, and it smells good too! :]


hope that helps!!
There shouldn't be any 'gross' stuff left behind, just switch to the new kit and you'll be fine.





In all reality though, all those kits are pretty much the same (i.e. they all have the same active ingredients).
I have found some good tips in following link, It may be good for you too

Use Cetaphil- it's a gentle cleanser that should leave your skin clean and soft.
you try acne wash EGO...see if it works..

BODY ACNE





鈥HE INFO鈥橲 BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE. I鈥橫 36 NOW SO I鈥橵E HAD TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES FOR QUITE A WHILE AND THOUGH MUCH OF THIS ANSWER MAY BE IRRELEVANT, I HOPE THERE'LL BE SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP YOU!





GOOD LUCK!!!





RECOMMENDED SKIN CARE鈥 use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. I鈥檝e tried various 鈥榦il free鈥?鈥檚alicylic acid鈥?moisturisers but the best I鈥檝e found is the clean and clear on鈥 found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin.





EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!...The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn't make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel.





HORMONAL SPOTS鈥ny female with spots I'd recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it's hormonal that can sort everything out within weeks鈥hough it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill.





FACIAL ACNE: AVOID鈥on't use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil...just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs I鈥檝e tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems.





I鈥檝e also had problems with those 鈥榝acial wipes鈥?made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because they鈥檙e too drying and when the top layer鈥檚 too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems!





Some say chocolate doesn鈥檛 affect it鈥t does for me and I don鈥檛 know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse.





HAIR PRODUCTS鈥e careful what products you use in your hair if it's long - certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums.





INGROWING HAIRS鈥or men or women鈥f you have oily skin, these are more likely. For men鈥se a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that don鈥檛 have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too 鈥?so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later.





For women鈥axing seems to cause the main problem 鈥?we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creams鈥o avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves 鈥?that way, you can use any kind of shower gel.





NUTRITION鈥 recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex 鈥?those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow.





OLD WIVES TALE??...It's an 'old wives tale' type remedy - but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too...kinda like honey and lemon X





HYDRATION鈥?Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!





DEALING WITH SCARRING鈥here鈥檚 an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called 鈥榬e-finish鈥? by L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it's own moisturiser which I don't use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.





If you get your skin relatively under control, try using '21 days Fade Cream' (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. It鈥檚 a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative!





Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefit鈥檚 Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain 鈥?this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesn鈥檛 smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesn鈥檛 aggravate the skin or cause breakouts.
