cleansing skin only helps to open up clogged pores but acne can have an underlying cause which only a derma can treat.

I guess the correct word is 'make loose the clogging'. sebum,is the cause of blackheads when it clogs in the pores. The basic remedy is to wash up skin with warm water to loosen the blackheads. I guess this is how steaming works? I could be wrong but again I could be right.  What one applies thereafter in case of acne,is the beautician/derma's recommendation based on the skin type as you have said. After you example,we are safe to recommend trained beauticians in addition to dermatologists. I've never suffered pimples attack not even during my teen years - not because I use recommended skin products-anything works for me including diesel oil. But the one basic,yet inexpensive routine I have always maintained is to wash with water and soap- cz I hate the sticky and sweaty feeling at the end of the day. I heard that mwarubaini treates 40 diseases. Which are these diseases?

The acnefree set contains Benzol peroxide which seems to work for my face, the whole business of cleansing morning and evening is a routine everyone should practice whether they have acne or not. For instance i cannot apply any petroleum jelly related product on my face, so goes also that i cant apply them on my hair either. But you get to a point where you get used to them you only notice the days your face is clear, you accept and move on.

While you are at the same supermarket get some liquid soap. Now you are wondering which liquid soap for the face, wacha mambo mingi usijali just get the one for washing hands or washing dishes just get one whose flavour you like.
Go home and after you have showered and are ready to go to bed take one teaspoonful of the muarubaini powder and put on your left hand..if you got the one in tea bag form cut open the teabag and empty the whole contents on your left hand.
Take the liquid soap and put about a teaspoonful ok maybe a tablespoonful onto the muaruabaini powder and changanya it with your index finger until if forms a nice smooth matope of soap and neem powder...if it appears too thick keep adding liquid soap until it is like a very light uji and you can spread it.
Now put your right hand onto your left hand and sugua the mixture kabisa and let it spread evenly on both hands. Put your hands to your face and spread and sugua the mixture it. You should feel the tu leaves of the muarubaini on your skin rubbing like tu small pieces of sand kidogo and if you taste it kidogo as it passes your lips you should taste the kali taste the muaruabaini.
Keep rubbing it in gently onto your face. Sometimes the soap kind of dries of a bit, what you do is just put your hands in water and get them just wet enough so that when you rub again you can continue to lather the soap.
Keep rubbing in the mixture on your face onto the whole face but concentrating more on the areas with the acne vidonda. When all those areas are covered leave the stuff on your face for about 5 minutes.
Rinse off the face with clean water. Now when it comes to drying your face, do so with a clean towel and I would prefer you blot it dry, (wekelea towel then lift it off) rather than rubbing. Do not apply anything on the face for the night. Your face will feel a little dry but that is OK. In the morning, amka oga na ujipake ile kitu unajipakanga kila siku.
Repeat this every night for 7 to 10 days. After seven days log in here and tell us if there is any improvement. Am waiting.  Quack! Dish washing soap is one dangerous poison! Even for your dishes.. Google. And no soap should touch anywhere up, past your shoulders. Never wash your head and face with soap.. Google. For ex-foliation, make a paste(with water) using bi-carb of soda/baking powder. I've never added Neem.. might just do so next time. Throw away fancy lotions, moisturizers etc. Use a mix of natural Shea butter and natural coconut oil.. from head to toe. @Mukiri, you have an idea where i can get the Shea Butter?

hahha @ CLK ati socket? really ? hehehehe. Ok,i am a gal.
Well most products have either salycyclic acid or benzol peroxide and one more i forget .......and the % of the active ingredient varies. Proactiv is for serious kind of acne and it has sulphur as well...i have never tried those more "serious" products. Garnier Pure active has only 2% of the acid and mild beads to scrub.
This is why i said that sometimes,it takes trial and error and even alot of CONNING from dermaCONS before you have some semblance of a solution to the problem

Someone offered me a job there and everyone around me was having a fit, especially my mum thought i would never come back, let me know when you are in town, wouldnt mind notes abt life that side.. I strongly believe the cash i have spent on the acne solution finding mission, inatosha plot mahali, and most of that stuff is not covered by insurance..

Given a choice between someone who says she has never had acne and gives advice based on God knows what and people who are giving life experiences about how they overcame or are on the road to overcome,i would take the latter.@ esske,no offense. I am happy
