how can i prevent pimples and blackheads? without using proactive or neutrogena...like wash it with cold water or sumthing... pls answer ...

acne can be caused by something from within your body, like caused by the foods you eat or by using products with harsh ingredients. You need to use a product without mineral oil, harmful alcohols, chemical dyes, fragrances or animal by-products. So many products have these known irritants. Try Arbonne products. They are a European health and wellness company with all botanical and herbal based products. They have an acne line called, "Clear Advantage". All Arbonne products are also Certified "Vegan". They have a 45 day return guarantee as well. Right now, Arbonne has branches in the States and Canada but next month will open one just outside of Sydney!!! Check out www.CindieReed.myarbonne.com and click on "products".

Use Colloidal Silver Cream at night. Go to www.notaquitter.com and get a jar.

well not just cold water..
You need to use SOAP! wash your face at least 2 times a day and apply a face cream all over your face to protect it from the sun (which can give you nasty skin on you face) and do that everyday if you dont want to use any products.
BUT
if your willing to give products a try.. try
Neutrogen Face Wash.. for acne and blackheads!
its the best!! especially for breakouts before or after you get your period!!

HOPE ThIS HELPS!

ENJOY =D

Proactive is fine if you have acne. Do you? I suffer from blackheads and the key from me is to never go to bed with any makeup on and to use Biore pore strips at least once a week, sometimes twice. I also use a toner and a lotion to tighten pores. Clinique makes an AMAZING self-heating mask - I felt a difference after one use! Run, don't walk. It's a thermal self-heating mask designed for blackheads. Cold water is just an old wives tale. You could try a scrub? I use one daily in the morning before my cleanser.

You could see a dermatologist. They helped my younger sister with acne scars.

Always use lukewarm water because you can clean better your pores later you can put a little bit of cold water so your pores close! eat a balanced diet, plenty of water, exercise, sleep well, have a social life and don´t think too much about that pimple on your face....

try proactiv,acne bar(soap),sea breeze, clearisil, etc....
