Nighttime Moisturizer for oily/acne prone skin.?

I break out about three to four times a month and I hate it. After the pimple goes away, it leaves a brownish blemish. Are there any effective lotions/moisturizers with Benzoyl Peroxide or any other ingredients that I can apply during the nighttime to prevent breakouts? thanks!Nighttime Moisturizer for oily/acne prone skin.?
Anything that is oil free, hypoallergenic, or non-comedogenic. I like to use Cetaphil (recommended by my dermatologist). I know I said ';oil-free';, but Jojoba oil is an exception. It is all natural (not a bunch of chemicals in it) and is the closest to the oil your skin produces itself. I also use this a couple of times a week. it doesn't feel oily on your face if you use just a very very small amount. Your face kind of drinks it =)Nighttime Moisturizer for oily/acne prone skin.?
You can choose to bolieve me or not, but it's been scientifically proven that eating a high carbohydrate diet causes people to produce more sebum in their skin therefore resulting in more acne. Eat a low carb diet. Cut out all grains. Instead of getting your carbs from simple sugars like flour or fruit instead eat things like legumes more often for more complex carbohydrates that do not spike your insulin as fast.


Go on a paleolithic insipired diet, but as an acne sufferor i'd say it's best to avoid all nuts, grains, and dairy. The paleo diet restricts legumes or tuber vegetables(ex potaoes). Avoid tuber veggies, but don't avoid legumes.. eat them like three to four timesa week like a serving size with a meal. Eat no more then one fruit a day since they are simple sugars.





Do more research on www.acne.org





go to the holistic/health message boards on the website
Neutrogena deep clean...tried it on just now my face looks much cleaner-itll help prevent acne and acne takes time to get rid or
Camel touched a bit upon the dietary link to acne breakouts. She doesn't quite have the entire picture, however. Carbs themselves are not bad for acne prone people, though some people who have acne have a mild gluten allergy which can cause breakouts.





The carbs that you should avoid are white flour type carbs. White bread, white rice, things of that nature. That's because these type of carbs are broken down to simple sugar in our body and cause an insulin spike. This insulin spike causes the release of excess amount of hormones called androgens which in turn cause to much oil to be produced on our faces and also cause our skin cells to die off rapidly, which leads to outbreaks. Stop the androgens and yous top the breakouts. Slow burning carbs like 100% whole wheat, multigrain and sprouted breads, ezekiel bread, natural oatmeal and brown rice are all examples of perfectly safe and healthy carbs.





Some other foods that cause these breakouts are dairy, red meat and vegetable oils. Acne prone people should avoid these food triggers as much as possible while eating more natural foods and drinking a lot of water throughout the day. Water helps flush toxins from our bodies and keeps our skin hydrated and healthy.





The other thing she mentioned about fruits is not quite right either. Fruits are good and healthy for you. I hate when people say the naturally occurring sugar in naturally occurring fruits and vegetables is bad. This just doesn't make any sense. The problem with fruits that people don't realize is that when you're eating a typical crap western diet full of processed junk, the naturally occurring sugar in fruit can set off insulin spikes because our bodies are going haywire from all the junk in our system. But a person that eats a completely natural diet full of this fruit will never have this problem because everything is in balance. I've been on a 100% raw diet and ate nothing but fruit for 2 days. I didn't experience one breakout. Other people have done raw diets and ate 20 bananas in quick succession and was completely unable to spike their blood sugar levels.





Anyways to get back on track, there is no external cure to acne because it is an internal problem. You must solve the internal problems in order to be cured.





To answer your question about moisturizer specifically, use jojoba oil and even a mix of jojoba oil and 99% pure aloe vera gel. Jojoba is a natural oil which is similar in structure to sebum. This both ';tricks'; your skin that there is enough there so it won't make as much and it is also an excellent moisturizer which will help with dead skin. Mixing aloe vera gel only adds to the potency.
