Well - how old are you? What kind of skin do you have? What results do you want to get?

I want to have beautiful skin of course (and maybe also better facial hair :^) does rubbing minoxidil 5% work?)

Are you gay or something? Real niggas don't use creams, they just wash their face with water every morning.

No rubbing alcohol isn't good for skin. It dries it out makes it red and get oilier.

If the washes don't work you may need antibiotics or prescription acne meds

First crucial tip:
Drink water. Seriously, your skin will improve so much just from staying hydrated enough. When I start to slack on my water drinking, I get a zit. It's like clockwork. So drink several liters a day.

Also, I've been using this:
http://www.paulaschoice.com/shop/skin-care-categories/aha-and-bha-exfoliants/_/Skin-Perfecting-Two-Percent-BHA-Liquid-Exfoliant

And it works like magic. Using something with BHA in it. It exfoliates by getting rid of dead skin and it just increases the turnover of new skin cells. So it has the effect of making your skin really smooth and quickly fading dark spots and blemishes.

Step 3 is ALWAYS wear sunscreen. Or moisturizer with SPF. Every day. Even if it's cloudy. It should be a habit of putting on every morning.

thanks, the water tip is nice
I already drink like a litre of mineral water daily, but it's expensive lol
+ water in teas and other shit
Will look into that BHA. Why sunscreen though? It's not like I'm getting tanned or something...

Ehh I don't need it, it's not that bad. See

And it's one of my worst skin days.

>Why sunscreen though?
In general, sun damages are one of the main causes of early ageing and skin problems. Sunscreen keeps the skin youthful.

Everything else in that poster said is right - did the BHA for a while, got perfect skin in 2 months.

Why? Do you live on a desert?

This. Moisturize often and keep your face clean.

Watch what you eat. Diet plays a factor in the health of your skin and your overall health. You should be eating healthy for the all around benefits anyway. Stress is also responsible for acne. I'm 30 but I'll get the occasional zit every once in awhile when I'm stressed from work because of a deadline. Otherwise I have pretty good skin because I drink a lot of water, eat incredibly healthy, don't often get stressed out, keep my face clean throughout the day (ie don't touch your face with dirty hands), and I clean my sheets and pillowcases every week.

But yeah creams, lotions, etc. don't be scared to use that stuff on your face. Don't be a retarded like this guy >>18099378 but also research what you're using and don't go overboard. Different things work for different people.

Well I'm talking about bottled water, a bottle a day and it adds up.

minox will make you lose more hair if you lapse treatment

Well, food costs too, but you get water for cents i believe. Anyway 2l is an average recommended dose, and not worth cutting costs on. You can live longer without food than without water! Also buy it in bigger bottles not tiny ones

1. Get a facial cleanser i.e CeraVe, Cetaphil, etc. Find one you like. Those happen to be cheap and readily available
2. Get stridex pads or something similar. Apply and let it dry
3.Apply some moisturizer. Use one with sun protection in the day. Maybe a thicker cream at night

That's probably the most basic setup

Don't touch face. Good diet. Drink lots of water. Replace bed sheets. Wear sunglasses to protect eyes. It's all pretty straightforward.

Dude buy some kind of reusable water bottle. If youre a water snob, they even make ones with filters inside now. You'll save a lot of money in the long run. Plus bottled water is a scam and is a scourge on the environment, if you care about that kind of stuff.

I use pic related (w/ a spin brush), then toner (I use witch hazel, it smells bad but you get used to it- can but it unscented though), then moisturizer. If I have any really bad spots I mix a drop of tea tree oil into some witch hazel and apply that to it, it dries it out. My skin has cleared up A LOT.

Epsom salt baths. Look it up. Try for a week and a half and all your acne will be gone. You're welcome.
