Is Nerisone cream recommended to treat acne outburst? How about Dexeryl ? If you are a dermatologist, help!?

Good Afternoon,





I am not a dermatologist, but I am an esthetician. I can give you some good skin care advice which should improve your skin...





First of all, it's important that you take care of your skin on a daily/weekly basis as follows...





~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~


-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.





-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. 2-3 times a week include steaming (in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).





-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize.


*If needed, Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes to begin to soften.





-How to: *


Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on


Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck


Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)


Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat


Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner


Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away - if it begins to sting or burn intensly before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask


Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed


*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.





~Products~


For mild acne, I recommend Neutrogena, here are some links to products for acne/oily skin types: http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a> http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a> http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a> http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a>


If your skin is also sensitive, you may want to consider using thier products for combination skin: http://www.neutrogena.com/SosSolution_3.鈥?/a> http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a> http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a> http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a>





If you have severe acne, try ProActive instead, and/or see a dermatologist so that he or she can actually analyze your case and see what treatments may benefit you most. I used ProActive when I was a teen and had moderate to severe acne, it improved my skin alot.





~VITAMINS/MINERALS, DIET, %26amp; EXCERCISE~


Each day, include a multivitamin and try to maintain a fairly healty diet and exercise routine. Also see these sites about natural solutions: http://healing.about.com/library/uc_acne鈥?/a> http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_ac鈥?/a> Don't take any of these vitamins or minerals listed if they are already an ingredient in your daily multivitamin.





Let me know if you have any more questions that I may be able to answer!
