I called the article acne gone as that is where anyone suffering from acne wants it to be, gone away as far as possible never to ever return. I had bad acne I made it gone. It was simple in the end. Before I get going I want to say I know what I say is just what I did and maybe can't fix every case of acne out there but I know I can fix many a pimple sufferers problem. Just as I was taught I will teach you. I was checking through the pages here on the hub and there is some pretty good information so I thought I would keep adding to that information. Oh, and I didn't put any photos of acne on this page as we all know what it looks like.

I guess there are so many acne remedies these days it's hard to know what to do. Some cost a heap of cash to get and are of course therefore not available to the people who need them. Those people are for the most part young folk. I am not that young anymore but when I was I had acne and it was bad. When I say bad I don't just mean the thing itself was bad I mean it was bad for my life. I mean really, how can you go out and get a partner if you're are always self conscious about zits. Oh I know we are not supposed to use words like that but hey I had them and that's what I called them. I hated them.

Now that I think of it I have to say I know people who didn't seem to hate them. Maybe they didn't want to get a date but they almost seemed to enjoy squeezing the things. I know a guy that used to try and weigh the stuff that came out on the science lab electro scales. So gross if you ask me. Yuck I feel sick thinking of it again. Not me, no way I wanted them gone. So I am not going to talk much about keeping acne, I will focus on making the pest gone.

When I was young I had skin that just oozed oil anytime I stressed or exerted myself too much. So you can pretty much figure I had oily skin most of the time as I was always stressed over my oily skin. Vicious circle really and I wanted out. I started to read up on the subject. No internet back in those days and so I had to get magazines and books. I found some gangster type adverts in comics and even saved my pocket money to send off for some guaranteed remedies. The first one came back as a junky magazine. The next never did arrive so I gave up on that form of research.

The research had to keep going. These days I am the same so whenever something bothers me I research it as much as I can. I found some information that explained I shouldn't squeeze acne pimples. So I did my very best not to. They said that when I squeeze them the germs can get into the skin pores next to the place I squeezed and multiply that one pimple to many. Pretty scary but you know if I was going out and hoping to catch a date and I looked in the mirror and found a zit I would estimate size and condition and give it a "damage ranking". You know looks a bit yellow, not too much red around the edges, has a really nice white head, size is not such that a great chunk of skin will already be blistered and fall off leaving an obvious scar, and so it gets a "damage rank" of maybe one. And I squeeze it ever so gently. Nothing happens. Try a little more pressure. Oh man now I have ripped the skin and have a swollen red lump on my face. Band-aid? Na forget it I am not going anywhere tonight. Maybe I should have followed that books advice.

Well I did know not to touch them by then. Next they (they is everybody who seems to know more than me) started to talk about diet, exercise, bowel regularity, cleansing astringents, creams and lotions, scrubs, face masks and the list went on and included prayer. But you know what did it for me in the end. What really broke the cycle? Self discipline. It was hard as you can imagine and then harder but I beat it. Of course it used to come back at times but no where near as bad and I just went back to my discipline and gone.

It's amazing how it happened. You know I really didn't listen to my parents much in those days but my mum knows stuff. Eventually I went to her and told her I want to get rid of my pimples. She said it's going to take discipline and I didn't much like the sound of that but I agreed. She set to and changed our house around just for me. Just a few weeks later my pimples were fading and scars were healing (not the deep pock marks) but all the little fellas were gone. She did it and from that day on her technique was adopted as a part of my life.

Gotta say thanks mum.
