PIMPLES: Why you stillhave them and what you can do!HOME AND HIGH-TECH HELP

Proper cleansing is crucial. Use gentle, soap-free product twice dailydoesn't matter which one, just that you use it! Follow with oil-free, overthe-counter acne medication (choose gel form) containing benzoyl peroxide, camphor, salicylic acid, or sulfur-all kill bacteria on skin's surface.( " N a t u r a l ' ~ buffs: Honey does same thing-apply like mask for ten minutes, then rinse.) You might try a clay mask once a week to dry up oiltoo, but avoid exfoliants-scrubbing action may actually spread infection.This basic routine can be supplemented at the dermatologist's office viamore-intensive methods. Most popular is Retin-A-works by thinning outtop layers of skin, so blackheads and whiteheads "fall off," explains NewYork City dermatologist Alan Kling. Results are evident after about fourweeks of daily use; sunscreen is mandatory during treatment. Topical antibiotics (clindamycin, erythromycin) are often prescribed alone or in conjunction with Retin-A. These work by destroying bacteria, thereby sterilizing skin. Medications with prescription levels (more than 10 percent) ofbenzoyl peroxide have similar effect. In severe cases, oral antibiotics-tetracycline, Accutane-are prescribed, but only if patient has no intention.of conceiving soon (can cause severe birth defects). A new three-step in-office plastic-surgery procedure-called microderm-is another option. First,skin is "dermaplaned"-less-intense form of dermabrasion-in which justtop skin layer is sanded away (110 blood is drawn). Next, acid solution isapplied (gets into pores and loosens dead debris). Finally, dry ice is usedto burn away bacteria. Whole. treatment takes fifteen minutes and requiresno "down" time-makeup will cover redness, so you can go right back towork, notes New York City plastic surgeoll Barry Weintraub, who perform.s the procedure. You return three more times (every other week) anduse Retin-A at hOllie . . . voila: gorgeous, blemish-free skin!
