Does Drinking Energy Drinks Cause Breakouts?

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Does Drinking Energy Drinks Cause Breakouts?

Answer

Drinking energy drinks tends to cause major breakouts, amongst those people who regularly consume them.
I began drinking energy drinks once again, just to get me on a good start to the new school year. It's amazing how much more productive one can be when drinking these things.
I noticed a huge pimple on my back the other day... I never get back acne.
This isn't the first time an energy drink has caused me to breakout.

Solution: Instead of Energy Drinks

Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
Supplement with B Vitamins.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Eat 6 meals a day.
Exercise 30 minutes a day.

Benefits from above solution

No more breakouts caused by energy drinks.
No caffeine.
Saves you money.
Breaks an addiction.
Makes you healthier.
No crash.

By following the above solution, you will allow your body to obtain its energy from natural sources. You will no longer have a quick jump in your blood sugar levels (from taking energy drinks), and you will no longer have high amounts of caffeine in your body. This means, breakouts will be less consistent and may even completely go away.

Can Windex Get Rid Of Acne? READ THIS!!!

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Can Windex get rid of acne?

Answer

Although Windex can actually get rid of acne, (so I have heard) it doesn't necessarily mean that using it on your face is a good idea.

Think about this for a minute - Windex was made to clean, not to wash your face, or get rid of acne.

Although there are some things that you can use for your acne, that weren't exactly intended for that purpose, it doesn't mean Windex is one of those things.

Instead of Windex - Go out and purchase a good acne face wash system that either contains benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, as a main acne fighting ingredient.

Does Zinc Help Acne?

Answer

It's said that the right amount of zinc can actually help clear up your acne. With that being said, you're always cautioned to use the correct amount of zinc before starting the new regimen.

What Foods Cause Oily Skin?

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Answer

First, understand that oily skin is NOT only caused by the foods that you eat, but it's also caused by these reasons as well...

Causes of Oily Skin

Hormone Levels.
Never washing your face.
Pregnancy.
Topical Treatments you use.
Makeup.
Sweat.
Humid Weather.

Now, in my person experience, the following foods have seemed to have made my skin more oily.

Popcorn
Greasy foods in general
Soda
Salt and other dehydrating foods

Quick Tip - In general, it's a good idea to avoid foods high in salt, as these foods can be very dehydrating to the body. Dehydration can cause your skin to dry, which can then lead to an overproduction of natural skin oils, causing oily skin.

What Happens If I Stop Using Proactiv?

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Answer

Unless you have outgrown your acne, if you stop using Proactiv, it will likely come back. Some individuals report that their acne actually got worse than it was before, but I don't believe this was the case.

Instead, I believe that if you stop using Proactiv, your acne will go back to the way it was before, but it will look worse than it was before, because you've become so used to your clearer skin, while using the product.

Is Accutane Right for Me?

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Answer

I only recommend using accutane as a final attempt acne treatment. This means that you should only use accutane if you've tried almost everything else to treat your acne, but you haven't gotten any results.

Further tests by your doctor or dermatologist will determine whether or not accutane is right for you.

This is because the oral treatment is said to have a high amount of side effects.

What Causes Chin Acne?

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Answer

Acne always forms for the same reason, regardless of its location.

Although the above statement is true, many outside factors can affect acne. For example: Touching your face can further irritate your skin and exacerbate acne.

For the above reasons alone, we can come to the conclusion that all acne is caused for the same reasons, but outside factors determine exactly how bad acne / chin acne becomes.

How Do You Get Rid Of A Pimple Fast?

The following answer comes from the Acne Help Guide.

Answer

There are many claims about ways to get rid of a pimple fast.

Toothpaste on a Pimple Overnight.
Rubbing Alcohol
Hydrogen Peroxide
Spot Treatment...

With all of the possibilities, you'd think there would be at least one that actually worked.

The truth is, none of the above solutions work. Some will make reduce a pimple's visibility, no doubt. But none of the above solutions will get rid of a pimple extremely fast.

The only true way to get rid of a pimple fast - After letting the pimple turn into a whitehead, gently prick the top of it with a sterilized needle. Afterward, be sure to wash your face with a gentle cleanser, to remove any bacteria left behind.

What Age Does Acne STOP Occurring?

Answer

Although I would like to say that acne stops after puberty, this isn't always the case. Many people, including myself, and adults alike, will continue to have acne well into their 20's and 30's. Some will even continue to have acne in their 40's and 50's, although I have never heard of anyone having it past their 50's.

With that being said, it's important to take the steps to treat your acne now. Be sure to view the Acne Help Guide for more information on how to go about doing this.
