Remove any make-up you have on. Wearing make-up can clog pores, making them dirty and causing pimples. Also try to wear oil-free makeup (if you have oily skin) or a medicated makeup.





Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn't matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin.





Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you've just revealed.





Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication.





Bacteria in pores is one cause of spots. Reduce the amount of bacteria by using toners containing anti-bacterial agents like alcohol, peroxide and benzalkonium chloride, and by using creams that contain benzoyl peroxide (ask your doctor about benzaclin, with moisturizer if you have dry skin, as it works better than just plain benzoyl because benzoyl takes up to 8 weeks before improvement is seen) which kill bacteria as well as cause the skin to regenerate faster.What is a good makeup (concealer) to cover up acne scars %26amp; blackheads?

AmazingConcealer from Amazing Cosmetics. It seriously is the best concealer I have ever used, and I have the same problem as you when it comes to blemishes/acne scars. I put this stuff on along with the rest of my makeup regimen and you couldn't tell at all that I have problem skin. Seriously, get it. A little goes a long way, if you use too much it will be cakey. But if you just use a tiny little dot, it covers your whole cheek. And since you only need to use a teensy little bit, the tube lasts FOREVER. It's a little pricey though, the smaller tube costs 28$ at Sephora/Ulta. But it's definitely worth it.
okay well you need to be cleansing and moisterizing and a good cover up, mary kay has an awsome one, call your local beauty consultant and she will let you try it for free and she will deliever it for free. ASK her about the cleaser and moisterizer.
Use Nars The Multiple Cream Concealer.


It's cheap and effective.


Also, rubbing some of this on ur nose will give the illusion of a straighter nose! Here's a link:

Hope this helps! :]
You can get rid of the blackheads with nose strips.





but to cover the acne scars, i would suggest Clinique Superfit foundation and concealer.
you can't cover you need to treat. seriously or else it will get worse probably. but if you insist the rimmel stick concealer is good.
I Use 'Rimmel London Clear Complexion'. It Conceals And Helps Prevent Breakouts And Also Looks Very Natural. Its Only a Small Tube, Looks Like Lip Sticks But It Is Very Nice :) So I Reccommend It :D
neutrogena Conceler.


IT has salicylic acid and it helps a bit on my acne.!


I was suprised that i could Cover up a blemish, And get rid OF it at the same time!
maybelline age rewind concealer
