*Please help,10 pts. for best answer* Black skin Acne blemishes?
I'm black and I have acne blemishes, now in the past couple of months they're more noticeable. My skin tone is completely uneven (With spots darker than others). It looks like blemishes are forming on top of blemishes, and the skin around my mouth wrinkles up when I smile. I'm not sure how my skin got this bad, but I went to the dermatologist and he suggested I Use a skin peel wash for when I shower and an acidic sunscreen moisturizer. He gave me the prescriptions for all that stuff and it came up to 0 with no alternative. So I came up with my own blend 2 days ago. It feels like I might break out again But it could be my skin getting used to the products. which are:
Cetaphil Anti bacterial soap.
I put all three of these on my face after a shower:
Vitamin E oil
Aveeno Clear complexion Daily moisturizer
Gold bond restoring skin therapy lotion w/ CoQ10

I wouldn’t use the Gold Bond stuff, it sounds like it has mineral oil in it. Not sure though
You can try African Soap which contains Vitamin A

this is where i get mine from, note i don’t owe the site
and use Grape seed oil (the kind for the face, not for cooking, might be somewhere on the site,idk), which is good for oily/acne skin and has a natural sunscreen.. if it’s a little too light as it is not a heavy oil..you can use a moisturizer right after..like aveeno or yes to cucumbers or yes to tomatoes got good natural products
A AHA Toner (not everyday though as it can be harsh on acne skin but it reveals new skin)
And a little Tea tree oil everyday after you wash and moisturize to kill the bacteria
Once a week ,use a clay mask..queen helene is nice.
Drink lots of water, eat unsalted sunflower seeds,sweet potatoes, olive oil and lots of fruits…… your skin will look different.

Step 1
Place a drop of honey on the effected area. Allow it to stay for 2-4 hours before washing it off. Honey has been used for a long time to naturally clear and remove scars from cuts and acne.
Step 2
Wash your face with some sugar. Get a cup and place a spoonful of sugar inside. Mix it up good and wash your face with it. Then rinse your face off with some clean water.
Step 3
Dab some lemon juice or vinegar onto the effected area, this will cause the scarring to slow down and promote new skin to be healed.
Step 4
Get some egg whites, place them into a bowl. Stir it good for about 2 minutes with a egg beater. Place this mixture onto your face for 15 minutes then wash it off.
Step 5
Aloe Vera is known to get rid of scars and sooth burning sensations.
