Skin help? Spots, dryness, etc.. the works.?

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

So I’m a (straight) 17 year old guy. I like to take care of how I look, as gay as it sounds, but now I’m getting problems.

Well, I’ve never been too bad with spots and I didn’t have overly sensitive skin, especially since I started using clearasil and Nivea mens moisturizer about a year ago. But since about boxing day I’ve been constantly breaking out, don’t just say this is puberty, I’ve been through most if not all stages and spot are mostly long gone.

I have started using a stronger face scrub in the past week and got these two huge spots. Then after a few days of using it, it actually stung my face (which has never happened), i thought there might have been hair bleach (my mum) that had not been washed away in the sink. So for the past two days I’ve had spotty, dry skin. It’s starting to get really visible and the skin is literally falling off.

I been washing my face gently now and plastering the moisturizer on which only helps for a few hours… any advice?

For the record, I don’t ever get this many spots (5 or 6 at the minute) and I don’t have a history of dry skin. Can you give me any advice? Many thanks. :)

my skin is really clear of spots etc (cept my some on chin) but when i sleep with gel or wax in my hair or when im out and eat aload of sweets drink etc my skin is itchy dry and parts flaky.(in the morning)

then all i do is shower (obviously) drink water that day and then put vaseline on the dry skin parts and then the next day its good as new.

is going from this extremes daily bad?
do hot showers affect skin condition?

Hi
My Brother inlaw is of Jamaican decent and suffers with extremely dry skin which bothers him. I was hoping for Xmas to make up a little pamper pack of products for him as I always do for my Sister. Searching on google for skincare products specially formulated for black males hasn’t come back with many results. Does anyone know of any good moisturising shower gels and lotions that would suit him.

Thank you!
