Bluegrass Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Go to chemist and buy some Hibi Scrub. Its used in hospitals by nurses/surgeons to stop bacteria spreading.Also used on horses to clean them and prevent flies from hassling them.Its like super super strong soap. Use it in the shower, on your face/back/chest etc.It dries your skin out quite a bit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 go to a beauty spa.Get them to pop all the spots, and get rid of all the black heads. Shouldn't be more than £40 tops - and it should be sorted for good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kid creole Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 i think you supposed to drink 8 glasses a day , having a health diet will help but acne is caused by oil which is secreted from your skin , you will eventually grow out of it so you just have to deal with it really. atleast it aint on your face !!!

Synergy Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 You think i dont do all this allready??I drink at least 2 pints of water a day.ok you drink 2 pints thats a good start but it still isnt really near enough, my mum is really knowladgebal about all this as i have had a few problems with my health and it all comes down to same thing, 8 pints of water is the least your meant to frink to have a health liquid intake, when im on my bike i can drink 2 litres of water in an hour, its just really getting used to it if you get me joe?like if you force yourself to drink more water you will get used to it and your skin will get better.

Gavyn. Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) Get your shirt off as often as possible in the summer, the suns UV rays will sort you out.As for the What do you think they did before these creams " comment. They also never had big macs and ready meals or most junk food for that matter, and most people ate well.

Jonny Shoe Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 You think i dont do all this allready??I drink at least 2 pints of water a day.As a couple of people have said 2 pints of water a day is not enough. I think the average you are meant to take is 2 litres, so I would suggest increasing your water intake to start off with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish-Finger-er Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yer...spots..something all teenage boys get( or your lucky ). im nearly 20 now..and i still have spots.My face isnt TOO BAD..But my back is abit rank..anyone whos seen it, will know what i mean .But yer..ive taken all sorts..tetracycline pills, creams..u name it. Nothing has cured it.Just got back from the doctors and hes gave me "Doxycycline" tablets.Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these..??Cheersive suffered from proper bad acne on me back for a while, easiest way to sort it out ive found is fluids, pretty much anything sugar free and lots of it, im currently on about 6litres a day, sometimes as high as 9, not for spots, basically trying to cut like mad/build muscle while burning fat, and its a pleasant side effect. also as has already been mentioned, get that back in the sun, dries the spots out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Water's always a big deal. But I wouldn't worry about 2 litres, that's more of a total for one day. You have to remember that alot of the food you eat (especially raw fruit & veg) contains water. Aim to be hitting about 1.5 litres of actual water drinkage a day.Although if you're exercising, depending on how hard you're going you'll easily drink 3 or 4 times that. It varies upon your diet & lifestyle.If you're pissing clear then that's usually a good sign, although if you're going for a piss every hour or so - you're drinking way more than you need to.

Nick Garland Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) Well pretty much most of this is bull. Food will affect it but I eat very healthy and watch what I eat yet I still have spots, I also drink the most water out of anyone I know. I do not eat crisps, chocolate bars etc often, like once a week MAX.Go to the doctors if it bothers you they will give you some pills, I know loads of people on them and they work well. I also find shaving aggrevates my skin whether I use sensitive stuff or not, so long as I shave regularly and not in an off pattern my skin is ok, once a day in the evening seems to work. I miss a single shave or put it off till the morning bath then skin goes crazy.EDIT: According to my friend in the newspaper it said that milk encourages spots, I take this with a pinch of salt.

Jack Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 My back used to be awful like your saying. I went to the doctors, got all the tablets and creams and everything but didn't do much. My girlfriend said going on the sunbed would get rid of them, so off i went, feeling like a right gay. But it really worked, within about ten sessions (couple of quid each) over a few weeks they were gone, and they havn't come back in over a year.Hope this helpsJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
