Pleas help, i feel like crying!!What's the best way to get rid of spots on the face?

hey, my comments kinda late but neway, i use a cream called 'sudocrem' at night. I just pad it on my spots, it dries them up and works really fast.





I also use a makup powder called 'Bare Minerals'. Its all natural and is just as effective as foundation only batter for ur skin. Report Abuse

the best stuff i have used is pure aloe vera gel (all natural) think you can still get it from that qvc channel website
Hey, I totally understand what you are going through. I had severe acne in my teens and it really got me down, especially as I thought I would never get rid of it. Now, 8 years on I am pimple and spot free.





The best thing to do is to see your GP. They will then either prescribe you some medication or even send you to a dermotologist (as was the case with me) and they will sort you out. The stuff they give you is AMAZING and my acne cleared up really quickly. Apart from that, Witchhazel is an amazing substance for getting rid of spots - either buy some and dab it on your face or the 'Witch' range of products is quite good to - especially their foaming face wash.





I know that it is really hard coping with it, but be thankful that you only have spots! There is always some poor sod worse off than the most saddest person in the world. Oh, ditch the foundation and let your pores breathe also. Best of luck!
Some tips:





-Drink tons of water. A liter and a half per day is good.


-Use a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation; it is lighter and wont clog your pores.


-Eat lots of fruits and veggies and cut out unnecesary fats.


-Eat salmon! It does wonders for the skin.


-Wash your face morning and night with a cleanser than contains salicylic acid, and dont forget to moisturize with a grease free face cream.





If after 2 months of doing this you see no improvement, go to your dermatologist, and he/she will give you prescription meds that will surely work for you.





Dont let acne get you down, you can beat it!
You've received a lot of good advice. One thing you might want to try is the acne kit on http://www.nontoxicbeauty.com it has two products ata reduced price if you buy them together and they are natural and effective. Worth a try...
Foundation will further clog the pores and make the spots worse. There are plenty of medications that the doctor can prescribe that will clear your spots right up. I had really bad skin when I was in my teens. The only thing that really worked was prescribed medication. Good luck.
Firstly, please note cosmetics only cover up and clogs pores stopping skin from breathing. So later on you skin actually looks bad because it has suffered the drawbacks of cosmetics.





You didn't say whether the spots are like acne or freckles or ';indents';.





Indents are often seen on some smoker's face or maturer people who do not tone their skin to close the pores.





Freckles are from sun exposure. Avoid the sun during the during the peak UV ray times 11-2 Winter or 11-3 in Summer---Australian cancer foundation info. Cover your face with a wide brim hat and sun screen and aviator-style/fisherman's style or wrap around sunglasses. Lemon juice is is suppose to lighten skin. Ask your pharmacist for a 'skin spot fader' product.





Acne is part of adolescence. The oiliness can be reduced by using a clay mask twice a week. Use a facial scrub (oatmeal and water is OK) once a week.


Keep face clean by washing it with water often (never use regular soap it is too alkaline and leaves a film behind that often clogs pores). Medicated soap may help. Johnson %26amp; Johnson '; Clean and Clear lotion was the only one that consistently worked for me.


Drink more pure water. Eat lots of fresh produce. Nutrients that feed the skin. Minimise the junk food intake--- it warps your diet with too much oil, sugar, additives and salt --it is the combo that is not favourable to clear skin.


Smile. Relax. Get enough sleep. [Go research what the supermodel do]. I wish you well.
Go see a dermatologist first. If they are sun spots, you have some options. One of them is bleaching creams, the best creams are those that are strong and need prescription.
one piece of advice is to go to a salon and have a facial. its great for the skin and is a decent price. trust me you will feel brilliant after wards. one problem with this is you are advised not to wear makeup after this for 24 hours as your pores are open and could make your skin worse. if you that self conscious then make a late appointment so that your skin wont be that visible. also, a few cheaper ways is to drink plenty of water, eat healthy and exfoliate every day. you could try using a matte based moisturiser too. if your still worried then see a dermatologist.


just remember that if you have a facial, you need to help maintain it so regular treatments may be in order. but don't worry, please. everyone gets spots in there life time and they can be embarrassing but you are not alone and there are many people, like me, who suffer from spots. i hope this helps.
Go to your dermatologist, who will prescribe you something. Try and minimize your foundation use, or at least use a water based not an oil based concealer or foundation. Also, try a medicated concealer, or put some acne type cream like proactive on them.


Hope it gets better - I know how you feel. xx
Drink plenty of water and exfoliate your skin every night - it cleans the pores and removes all the dirt. Spot creams tend to bring spots out, I've found!





But yeah - water! Most important. And go to bed early.
try vitamin 'e' cream %26amp;give it a chance to work ,dont plaster your skin with makeup.
spots can be melanin over/under-pigmentation. consult a dermatologist first. Some white spots are caused by fungi such as miliacea spp. or yeast. A dermatologist can find out the cause and offer you a solution. There are a lot of safe home remedies available to make your skin look vibrant. some of them are 1) apply red sandal wood powder face mask regularly, 2) apply row turmeric face pack, 3) consult a beautician for a facial 4) apply sun mask when you go out. 5) drink plenty of water 6) go to bed early and have at least 10 hours sleep a day (best remedy).
Hi there, you don't say how old u r but teenager spots will go eventually, if they are not acne!! if they are then you will need to see your doc, so don't pick at them or.... as your granny says they WILL leave scarring, use foundation if you must but THOROUGH cleansing (and toning to tighten the pores)


and remove excess oil.Every morning and night, Face packs once a week will also help. Use products without excess oil, or oil free moisturiser and of course a good diet with not to many fry ups and plenty of water
Don't know what kind of 'spots' you have, but I would see a Dermatologist.!! I had all my spots removed using a cryo technique, that was a spray of liquid nitrogen on each spot. They dry up and fall off in 5 to 7 days. It is similar to a small spot of frostbite. Just a slight burning from the cold spray. Otherwise, there are many other medications available, depending on the type of spots. Keratoses, moles, acne, clogged pores, etc..
Could wear a bag over your head.......
