cvs wont have proactiv.....proactiv for starters the cheapest you can get it is like 19.99 per month and they send you a kit every two months so its like 40 bucks per kit which i think is a rip-off however there is this cheap alternative which is the SAME exact thing and it costs approx 28 dollars and can be found in cvs, costco, sams, anywhere and it is way cheaper and it works! its called acne-free (very simple I know) it comes in a white box with 3 bottles...way cheaper than proactiv and same results..prescribed by the inshallah soon to be pharmacist mo!! if that doesnt do it then pay a visit to the dermatologist and ask for differin(key ingredient is adapalene) if you have marks ask for retin-a... theres alot of myths about food and stress but I agree with them for some reason try to have soy milk if available a bit more expensive but does wonders ...water is also very very important 8 cups of 8oz a day minimum......erm also a good natural product is shea butter very good for marks...sounds like alot but inshallah sooner or later will work and dont forget to ask Allah the most important ingredient!!!! because He is the one who cures not the medicine..medicine is simply a procedure which is sunnah.....

Makhruh is one step less then Haraam. It is 'frowned upon'. If you do it, you will not be punished. If you don't do it, you will be rewarded. An example of Makrooh is eating crab. :)

Smoking is Haram as it is poisons the body.

Eating Crab is Halal as it is from the sea.

Thats the worse thing you can use. Use plain water only and eat loads of Lemons and Oranges that helps... And yeah touching your skin does provoke the spots

Sanaa',

you're right, what people most likely do is start washing their face like mad and using agressive products which only damage the skin and makes the skin even more sensitive.

I would suggest seeing a dermatologist but I can tell you, it's pretty pricy when only one consult sets you back 40/50 bucks.

As a Muslim, my face is being cleansed 5 times a day Alhamdulilah. (by wu'du)

So, as it is obvious; stick with your wu'du and take vitamine C (Fruit, potatous, vegetables)

Also; chips, chocolate etc. has nothing to do with the your acne but to be sure try to keep a list of the things you eat and if a certain type of food has a reaction on your skin you can start avoiding that type of food.

Keep healthy and keep up the wu'du without all the mumbo jumbo that will only effect your wallet. Use the products Allah subhana wa ta'la has given us; fruit, vegetables and what not Insha'Allah.

Have u tried using aloe vera - u just rub the jel and rub it on ur face and it's supposed to help a lot.:)
 
just a note-if ur face is too greasy, don't over wash it in the hope of getting rid of grease cos then ur brain thinks ur skin is still too dry and causes ur glands to secrete even more grease...
 
Guess what!! : You ARE what you EAT.
All of this acne and stuff is most probably caused because you are taking the wrong type of foods. Beleive me I went thru allllllllllllll this stuff, And I found out that it's just because I was taking the wrong foods. Stop on sweets (Yes even chocolate!!) Greasy foods, Drink Plenty of water!!! No fizzy drinks, No pepper or any hot foods.......The list is so long believe me but in short you just have to take natural stuff.
And I would advise you not to put all these chemicals on your face, natural such as Aloe vera works better. And you can make lots of homemade natural masks insha'allah.

Good luck :)

i agree-ur face is very sensitive and it doesn'y need harsh chemicals.
some creams have something in them which makes ur skin 'addicted' to them.
which means that they only work while u use em and when u stop ur skin gets worse..
 
^ true true sis.....and I can bear witness to that because I've tried almost every face product on the market :D but now Ive quit all that and turned to natural and my face is healing amazingly masha'allah :)
 
Aloe vera is the best solution sis. You can even get your own plant. They are sooo easy to look after. Alla you have to do is not water 'em. It's a desert plant so every 2 weeks will do.
 
you should use a wash, toner, exfoliate face, and water is good, but you must be patience is takes 30 days for new skin cells to devlop
 
You should make dua....and it will go away in a matter of days inshaAllah :)

Acne is not caused by dirt! overwashing your face or body (more than 2–3 times per day) will not make your acne it better. In fact, too much washing or overuse of harsh scrubs and “pore strips” can actually strip the skin of the oil it needs to stay soft and pliable. In fact, overwashing may stimulate your skin to create more oil, there by worsening the problem.

Believe me I learned this the hard way. I used to have pretty bad acne...but after I have been told this by my Pediatrition I kinda saw the light. I use this cream called "Tritinoin" it works pretty good.but it did burn the first time I used it. Don't worry It is worth it.!
Most of my acne was on my forehead coz I cover that part of my face with my Hijab and the doctor told me not to cover my forehead coz it worsens the problem...but anyway I did. Now that I use this cream it does'nt matter if I cover it or not.:) :sister:
