Find an Ideal Acne Treatment Using Online Evaluations

Treating acne can be done via online tests if you're ready to put in the effort. This article describes how to make the most of online acne treatment methods.

Steps

 * 1)  Take a personal skin evaluation online. After doing this, you will get a list of products that are recommended for your skin based on the evaluation. There are numerous sites, from brands to dermatologists, so it is a good idea to search using an online search engine using such terms as "skin evaluation", "skin type test", "acne test", etc. Some sites that might help get you started are suggested under "Tips".
 * 2)  Check out those products the site suggests are suitable for you following the test. It should give you a basic description of the relevant product, so read it. You can check the ingredients on the Skin Deep database if you have concerns about chemicals included in the suggested products. In addition:
 * 3) *Make sure that the product is oil-free and has no alcohol-based ingredients.
 * 4) *If the site offers free samples, you can send away for these.
 * 5)  Follow the instructions carefully according to the "drug facts" section on the back of the box or container. Don't cleanse your face more than twice each day (after you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed).

Tips

 * There are many sites to take skin evaluations. It is recommended that you take a test on a site that sells the brand of skin-care you like to use. Here are a list of some; please note that none of these are vouched for nor are they promoted by wikiHow, they are simply here to give you a general idea:
 * Neutrogena.com
 * Biore.com
 * Olay.com (while their line is good, it can be expensive and is better suited for adults)
 * Cleanandclear.com
 * Make sure you get products suited for your skin type (dry, oily, or combination).
 * It's also recommended that you use a cleanser, toner, and a moisterizer. They all work together to help your skin!
 * Using a skin mask, like a clay or regular, helps too. Check the directions to see how many times to use it. Usually it is 3 times a week.

Warnings

 * Never use cleansing pads, especially if you have dry skin! They're consist of alcohol-based ingredients, and they dry out your skin like mad!
 * Make sure you follow the directions on the products. Using it too much can irritate your skin badly, but using it too little won't help your skin to its fullest potential.
