What can I do to improve my skin?

[Anonymous]

i understand how this isn't the most interesting question, but its very personal for me and I am very self conscious of it, so I would highly appreciate it if you took your time to give me your opinions and advice on the matter...

basically I don't have acne anymore, but I did I suffered from it for about a year, I then went onto tablets to take for a year, throughout that year it was bad, then good, bad then good again, I have finally got to the stage where I don't have any spots (obviously the odd one) but no where near as bad as it was, and I'm happy with that BUT...

from the times when I used to pick my spots (I know I regret it) I now have scars from them, little dents in my skin, and my skin color pigment is pretty much red, although the spots have all gone, it looks like its still there because of the color. and it really gets me down.

does anyone have suggestions?

i have tried bio oil, and it does work except it makes me break out because its oily.

if you put your input in the answers and could help me I would seriously appreciate it so much, thank you x

STOP MESSING WITH IT SO MUCH FOR ABOUT A MONTH

These are the trials I went through to get a clear complexion

* Wash it with a mild soap or cleanser using just your hands rinse completely. Do this DAILY until your skin gets a gritty feeling to the touch. This is when you need to exfoliate.

* The next day use a facial scrub and gently exfoliate. rinse completely.

* After each cleansing be sure to use a moisturizer of at least SPF 15

* By now you should have a good feel for how much oil your skin produces and when it needs a little extra work.

*try this process out for about a month. If no results are seen try washing your face morning AND at night with the exfoliation once a week. Moisturize after each cleansing.

Method 2

twice a week after cleansing use an astringent. Use this twice a week on your T-zone if it feels oily. Try not to use it more than 3 times a week though.

The trouble with skin is that it has it OWN personal life cycle. Constantly using heavy chemical on it dry it out causing it to produce more oil. Let your skin tell you when it needs extra attention. Don't follow the exact same routine EVERYDAY.

Try mixing coco butter, shea butter & lemon salt together & but that into your skin.
