Question 1

does rice water cure acne ?

Accepted Answer

Rice Water & Acne: To my knowledge, rice water does not cure acne.

Question 2

coconut water good for acne?

Accepted Answer

Get real Rx: "pop" remedies are adjuncts-only. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength treatment. The coconut-water idea isn't as silly as sleeping with your face smeared with honey, but it's even less likely to be helpful.

Question 3

how do sun and salt water affect acne?

Accepted Answer

Unpredictable: Both may make for a flare, or a partial remission. Acne is a chaotic system and is unpredictable. If you're affected, please start managing it. If topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid has not cleared you in a few weeks, get with your physician for something stronger. Best wishes.

Question 4

is hot water or warm bad for acne condition?

Accepted Answer

No: Just as long as it isn't too hot, you don't need to be dealing with burns on top of acne. Warm/hot water will cause some dilation of skin pores making it a little easier to cleanse and remove debris. This may help reduce the number of new acne lesions. Washing with a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid wash often adds to the improvement. See your gp if you are having problems.

Question 5

is it true that hot water good for acne, like hot showers?

Accepted Answer

Hot Showers & Acne: The best is warm water, hot water does irritate your skin - it over dries it and may damage  capillaries in your skin which make for reddish and overly sensitive skin - which in turn breaks out more easily.

Question 6

how much water should a person suffering from acne should drink?

Accepted Answer

Acne and Water: It is recommended that persons drink 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. There is no special recommendation for persons with acne. However, if you are prone to acne, i advise cutting down or cutting out carbonated soft drinks and cut down on sugary juices.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Water for acne: Water has no effect on acne. No scientific proof of any benefits.

Question 8

i'm wondering if i drink nothing but water and a lot of it, will it help my acne?

Accepted Answer

No: The development of acne lesions is not related to water intake  whether  it is too little or too much.  Heredity, hormones and stress are more likely  culprits.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Several things: The flare of your acne could be related to the stress of your move or to increased perspiration associated with work or excercise programs.  Synthetic materials also cause irritation. Check your  soap as well.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Excessive dryness: Applying an oil free hypoallergenic moisturizer after each cleansing with warm water and Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser can help prevent excessive dryness when using facial medications.  Excessive dryness CAN result from multiple topical medications, so apply sparingly at first so your skin can adapt and you can monitor for hypersensitivity.
