There are things you can do to prevent this. Benzoyl Peroxide (BP) can dry out your skin, and some think cause premature aging. There is a simple solution to this.
Use a medical grade product that contains BP. Ice your acne also. This helps with the inflammation and reduces bacteria.( Acne is an inflammatory and bacterial disorder). Exfoliating your skin helps skin cell turn over rate. In other words, when you exfoliate your skin, new cells come to the surface quicker, revealing new healthy skin. This help prevent premature aging. Also, wear sunscreen. The sun is the #1 cause of aging. It will cause hyperpigmentations from your acne and cause little brown spots.

I am a skin care specialist and Medical Assistant. I use VIVANT skin care. It was developed by Dr. Fulton, the same guy who invented Retin-A and BP. He also wrote a great book called Acne RX.

Drinking M angosteen juice will help keep the gastrointestinal tract healthy, which will help heal the acne.
Mangosteen has anti-aging effects, anti-oxident effects, acid-lowering effects, and No major side effects.

Drugs are dangerous and foods,as supplements, are not.

Hi–I am going to a plastic surgeon’s office and they are prescribing a particular ‘medical’ skin care line. Some of the products are by prescription. I am 53 and I have always taken care of my skin and it shows. However, I was at the beach all the time and got a lot of sun damage. VERY IMPORTANT : NO SUN WITHOUT A STRONG SUNSCREEN AND NO ALCOHOL ON YOUR SKIN. My Dr. also has a spa that does this. You should try to find a dermatologist or a spa practice with a doc.. Some of the product names I know about are Obagi and Refinity. I am using ‘Obagi Nu Derm’ for anti-aging. It is an average 18 week treatment only 7 weeks and the spots are lighter etc. Good for you starting now–I wish I did. Good luck!!

topical vitamin C serum, helps in oil contral and excellent for anti-aging. Make sure it has a pure form of vit. C which is L-Ascorbic acid, at least 15%, which will also have vit. E.

Some people might use all kinds of stuff on their faces and it works. So what works for them might not work for you. Go to a dermatologist to ask them about the best you can use for your acne.You don’t really know how sensitive your skin is until you start using products your friends are telling you to use. It could make things worse.Everyone as their favourite kinds of foods, like junk food that involves fats and grease, some like sweets . I’m not saying you should stop it them completely but cut down on it. You can cheat your diet buy just having your favourite junk or sweet once a month. For the premature ageing. If you smoke, then honey it is time to quit. Smoking helps in premature ageing you start getting wrinkles before the time. Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated, 100%fruit juices, eat your veggies and fruits. and exfoliate your face at least two time for the month.And remember to wear your SPF before you go out side doesn’t matter if it is summer or winter.

My esthetician suggests glycolic acid for me. It helps with acne and wrinkles at the same time but can be used on multiple skin types. I’m 32 and I’ve been using glycolic acid products for a few years. So far so good!

Arbonne makes a line of all natural products that is formulated to help clear up acne, and to keep skin young and healthy looking.
The acne fighting products are called Clear Advantage. It is best to use the entire set together. This includes an acne wash, a toner, a moisturizer and an oral supplement that contains "a combination of acne-fighting nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, plus botanicals used for centuries to improve skin conditions." If you buy the set ($66) you will also get a daily eye cream. It is important to only use moisturizers formulated specifically for the eyes on your eye area; regular facial moisturizers can cause a lot of puffiness under your eyes.

Once your skin is clear you can wean yourself off acne products. Arbonne makes an anti-aging line specifically for men. You can use the two product lines together (as needed) so you get the benefits from both.

In all honesty though – if you are battling acne you most likely have oily skin; and oily skin is less likely to wrinkle than other skin types. You probably don’t need to use an anti-aging product just yet. Be sure that you always apply sunscreen (summer or winter) – a moisturizer with an SPF is a great invention. Use products that are formulated for use on your face and indicate that they will not cause clogged pores or breakouts.
Be aware that chemicals will help you get results – for a while – but stop working for many people after the body "gets used to them." For some reason natural products seem to work better in the long run.

Arbonne products are sold through Arbonne consultants (like Avon or Mary Kay). If you are interested in trying the products you can order them online – with a code provided by a consultant, or you can order from a person. If you can’t find a Arbonne rep in your area feel free to contact me through Yahoo!Answers and I will be happy to answer questions or help you order or get samples.

Eating a healthy diet will do all of that.

You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don’t pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you’re waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you’re rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That’s what I’m doing. God Bless.
