my little sister has the same problem. we joke shes immune to sun screen. theres nothing you really can do. you just have to accept you for who you are.....or try putting on sun tan lotion and then some sunscreen on....but wait until all the old burns have peeled off that way it doesnt look bad.

I have pretty much the same thing. I have very fair skin and my face gets red and blotchy when I am over heated, upset or laughing. I've just learned to live with it. IT is part of who I am. When I want to go out and look nice, I put on makeup, I makesure to buy the good stuff. And then I try not to worry about it or let it ruin my day.\n\nI have found that very few people care or notice, and if they are really shallow and rude enough to point it out, I don't want to have anything to do with them anyhow.

If you are otherwise healthy and just have fair, delicate skin like I do, there really isn't much you can do. Just eat right and stay healthy.\nMake sure with your doctor that you don't have any underlying problems first though.

Fellow 27/f here...I have a couple suggestions for you. I have struggle with this problem since my teen years and have literally tried everything!!  I finally went on Accutane at 18 and it was so horrible, but I stuck it out and it got rid of my acne, minus a break out here or there. At 26, my acne came back in Full force! I am determined never to harm my body with horrible drugs like I did when I was 18, so I am trying a more natural approach. \n\n1) Use hydrogen peroxide as an astringent after you wash your face. It will help kill off the bacteria on your face and eat away at some of that nasty stuff.\n2) I haven't tried this, but I read today that you could dab honey on a pimple and put a bandaid over it...overnight. Apparently, honey has something in it that produces hydrogen peroxide, so putting it on the pimple will basically release this stuff over night on your pimple. Interesting I thought!\n3) If you are looking for a great face line that will help you get that stuff cleared up, get rid of fine lines and other blotches in the skin, I know of a great one. So good in fact, that I signed up this month to be able to buy the products at wholesale, because they are that good. Probably on here, this comes across as a weird sales pitch, but I'm 100% honest when I say that this product line changed the way I looked at the cosmetics and health and beauty industry.\n\nDid you know that cosmetic products virtually aren't regulated at all? They can basically put whatever they want in the products, and they do. This includes animal byproducts...you said you eat organic foods, but what are you putting on your skin?  I just realized about a month ago, through research, that before I have taken 1 bite of food in the morning, I have put large quantities of dead animals on my skin. GROSS! So I made a switch.\n\nThe products I am talking about are by Arbonne International. You can look them up online. If you email me, I would love to give you more info and see if they might work for you too. I am not in this to make money, but I will "sell" you the products for the wholesale cost I get if you are interested in trying them. No pressure whatsoever, but it is worth looking in to. Best of luck.\n\n*******************************\nLisa, if you consider this "regulation" then you need to get your head checked.\n\n"Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, cosmetics and their ingredients are not required to undergo approval before they are sold to the public. Generally, FDA regulates these products after they have been released to the marketplace. This means that manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval."\n\nThis is a DIRECT quote from the FDAs webpage. Source posted below. \n\nAs to having to go to a "Professional", I am and have been going to a dermatologist for years. NEVER to have my acne cleared up EXCEPT when on accutane. And if you read the testamonies AGAINST that, including my own, you will NEVER touch the stuff. My dermatologist, with all his medications, can't take care of my acne apparently...or doesn't want to, because it isn't in his best interest. Neither could the other 3 dermatologists I've been to in my life. So, I took it upon myself to research and research and research. I am providing what I have found...and miraculously, IT IS WORKING! So Lisa, keep you nose out of it, because obviously YOU haven't been through this. For all your KNOWLEDGE, you know nothing.\n\n*******************************\nI've also posted a link to a list of cosmetic "ingredients" that are or may be derived from animals. Now, you may not think too much about animal cruelty, or that may not be a huge factor for you, but think of it this way. Animals that are grown and bred for specific purposes are treated with antibiotics,

I have oily skin too and i found that mild scrubs worked decent, like apricrot scrubs. MILD!! Don't grate your face. I started using proactiv in January and it has worked great! Only had one or two breakouts since I started and it uses light scrubbing and benzoyl peroxide. So if you want to stay on the cheap side, try something that will scrub. Use it once a day and see how your skin reacts, and then up it to twice a day. And definitely use an astringent/toner, one without alcohol. If you can though I highly recommend proactiv.

Try using Noxzema daily. It helps clear your skin without overdrying it. \n\nI used to have the same problem and I've experimented with so many different products, but Noxzema turned out to be the best! And I'm still using it, 6 years later, even though my skin looks a lot better now.

i'm guessing, its dried soap.. or your skin is really dry..

It could be just wicked dry skin.  Maybe try some lotion.  If that doesn't work, my guess would be psoriasis.  (I'm not sure I spelled that right.)

Hey there. I had acne horribly as a teen. Let me tell you. ^^ Now first you msut understand that acne starts as an internal problem - the pimples are just a symptom of a greater problem. You need to eat healthily - don't eat too few calories or nutrients or too many as both have hazardous effects on the skin thus resulting in inflamed unhappy skin.\n\nNow my suggestion is to eat foods rich in antioxidants which are naturally good for you and your skin. Green tea, white tea, and water are excellent choices along with raw fruits and vegetables. Next you should be taking a vitamin supplement. There's this formula at Walgreens called "Nature's Cure" for men and women - it has these pills which are homeopathic herbal supplements (aka vitamin tablets.) The box is about 10$ or less and it comes with a cream. I'd chunck the cream.\n\nSeriosuly, all those topical acne products do nothing for the skin other than dry it out and aggrevate it. Serisouly. A good skin regimen is a cleanser specific to your skin type, a toner and a moisturizer. Use in that order at a maximum of twice a day. Now my suggestions on products would be the Almay line as it's color coded by skin type and is a full system. Although it can be a tad over priced for drugstore brand stuff.\n\nAlso use a gentle chemical peel once a week ( a scrub is too rough for acne prone skin and can cause other problems and make acne worse) such as Olay Thermal Scrub which isn't a scrub at all. Heh. \n\nIt has a mild amount of glycolic acid (this stuff will lightly slough off dead skin - dead skin is major cause of acne as the oils produced by the skin mix with the dead skin creating this bacteria infested almost "cheese" known as sebum or smegma in the pore) so look for stuff with glycolic acid to help your skin renew it's self.\n\nIf you have body acne then might I suggest the same regimen but a little tougher products? Also make sure your towels are always clean when you bathe or shower and that your clothes including your bra are always fresh and clean each time you wear them. Also wash your bedding every two days and alternate between headphones or use earbuds. One more suggestion is to either chunk foundation entirely or use just a loose powder with a large fluffy brush. You should soak your makeup tools in an alchohol and water solution once a week to kill bacteria. \n\nThe things that I have listed are the most common reasons for acne to occur and I hope that you'll take these steps towards healthier skin and I promise if you follow what I've outlined here you're problem will be solved. =d

no never be afraid of what you look like. try spending a few hours in the sun and that will reduce your paleness and seem to make your feckles "dissappear". besides some guys like freckles ;)

Have you thought about trying a skin lightener?\n\nHere's a link to several products that might help:  http://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AnXhbGvKO0K2wscje3En618bFt0A;_ylu=X3oDMTBtNTA5a3RqBF9zAzE0NDg5MTE1BHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?cop=mss&test=DFLT&p=skin+lightener&did=

Hi. I have lupus too and also am on Plaquenel. \nDon't keep scrubbing your face. That will only make it worse. Use a gentle moisturizer. I use on by Mark. that is very light. Maybe try using a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil too.
