My wife, before now, had the smoothest of face in the world until recently.

Pimples have taken over her beautiful face, and we seem to have run out of ideas of what to do.

She has tried so many over-the-counter creams but it's getting worse by the day.

This is seriously taking it's toll on her self esteem. I'm beginning to get so worried about it

Please, who knows of any home made lasting remedy?

Sounds crazy but let her stop touching her face. No matter what.

This is a lengthy reply...

I used to have a very rough face. My face was so rough at a time my friends gave me a new nickname - La Pimps.

It was so bad it affected my self confidence at a time. I'm glad I finally got rid of my pimples to a very low rate.

In fact, my face is about 85% clear now.

Here are a few tips that helped me clear most of my Acne and Blackheads --

How I got a smooth face:

1. Avoid that constant nagging urge to touch your face or busting small acnes by scratching on it. because you'll help spread the acne to other parts of your face.

This one is more like a control method. Stop the spread by not touching your face every 2 mins.

2. Avoid processed sugar especially soft drinks... the one we call Mineral (coke, fanta, etc)

Over the years Ive found out that any time I take mineral 3 days in a row, I must have a big red pus-filled pimple the next morning.

If your wife has pimples all over her face, it just means her facial skin is conducive for pimple-casuing organism to grow on.

And sugary soda drinks will boost the growth of the acne-casuing organisms. In fact, my face is a reflection of the kind of food I've been eating.

3. Avoid snacks that is cooked with processed/trans oil like cakes, biscuits, chin chin. Etc...

I don't eat much food but I know deep down I have a sweet tooth. I love cookies a freaking lot! All those oil and butter used in preparing it spikes up body oil and it shows on my face and general health.

The idea here is to substitute processed snacks with healthy snacks like apples, nuts etc.

If she can pay attention to what goes into her mouth then it'll only be a matter of weeks or a few months for her to get a clear skin again.

because her body will take time to eject/detox before restoration starts.

4. Pay attention to the kinda soaps you use for washing your beddings esp the pillow cases. Also pay attention to the kind of soap she uses in her face.

Understand that having a sensitive facial skin means paying extra attention to everything that comes in touch with your face.

From experience, I've found out that facial soaps with a strong fragrance like - Hawaii, Eva , Axe body wash, almost all medicated soaps will almost always leave my face with fresh outbreaks. I avoid washing my beddings with detergents like Klin or Omo because of the strong fragrance.

Sometimes I only wash my face with water alone. And with soap once in a day or two. Becos I've found out that the normal facial oil helps to balance out the pH of the face

I go for bath soaps like Palm Olive & Joy because it's mild on my face.

I suggest she avoids makeup or tone it down a lot to just powders untill she gets the acne under control.

She should avoid spicy oily foods if possible cook with very little vegetable oil.

Pimples go mess up your self confidence because it's literally in your face. Fungbact-A make sense but I believe the acne becomes resistant to it after a few weeks of use

.... If she can avoid Mineral and watch the kinda soaps she uses I believe she will overcome more than 60% of her skin problem.

... Before I forget, E get this Neutrogena anti-blackhead face scrub wey I de use. E make sense die too. But then there's a rule on how to make use of any facial scrubz especially if you already have a bad outbreak.

- You rub on wet face very gently in a circular motion. Then wash off after like a min or 2.

Then use the scrub again after like 3 - 4 days. This will give your face the time it needs to react to the scrub. Then give your face another 2 - 3 days space before applying again .. this little gaps gives your face the time it needs to react or get used to the new scrub.

By the next use you can feel free to apply it for 2 or 3 days straight.

In the end, she has to pay continuous effort to her face it's not a one-time magic thing. Sandy the more she keeps trying diff chemicals on her face the worse it gets.

Good suggestion from you. Thanks, as we try it out.
