I never used to pick at my face. Now, from just the last year and a half I have these black spots all over from picking at my face. My skin tone is all uneven also. Has anyone here successfully cleared these marks up? What was your routine?

Obagi, combined with Retin-A.
It's expensive, but oh-so worth it. I've only been using the system for a month, and it's done more for my skin than any other product I've used, and I've tried pretty much everything, including black soap, proactiv, shea butter, aloe vera, etc. The whole routine is a little time-consuming and you do have to go through a rough stage, but when it gets better, it gets a lot better.~ Last re.laxer 7.99 ~ Chop 7.00 ~ Locs 2.03 ~

How long did the rough stage last?

Also, which products in the Obagi line did you use? That stuff is kind of pricey so I want to buy only the essential products. Also, how often did you apply the Retin-A?After almost three months, I've finally uploaded my May June & July Updates: http://public.fotki.com/Kinkykea/

I used to have serious acne...black spots and uneven skin tone...I used Nature's cure for face and body...I used Ambi for the black spots and uneven skin tone (I know people say this stuff is the devil...), and now I use African black soap and a little cocoa butter at night...In the day time I use Oil of Olay...

Black opal fade serum is good for targeting dark spots(you will see the spots literally peel off with this serum, great stuff. Hydroquinone in it and retinol as well as kojic acid). I also rub some rose hip seed oil and grapeseed oil all over my face afterwards.

The tea tree oil is really helping my skin out...I have oily skin,and acne really be taking it's toll...but here is my regimen..that is really clearing my skin up
Wash face with Dr.Bronners Tea Tree Oil Liquid Soap...or a natural soap like aloe with vitamin e,clay soap or black soap...
Then I use my facial tonic..that I made myself...
I made it using
1 cup spring water
4 oz aloe vera juice
4 oz rose water
5 drops lavender e.o.
6 drops tea tree e.o.
Combine all in pot..heat gently....when it gets warm..cool completely then put in clean bottle
Put small amount on cotton ball and put on face..
Then I will put some moisturizer on...
If I have some pimples..i will put some tea tree oil on a q-tip and put on my pimples..dries em up..so i dont have the urge to pick....

that tonic seems like a skin treat so i think i'll make a batch of it myself. question though-- how long does this keep? does it need to be refrigerated or should i just use this up within a week?
also, i've been wondering where to purchase clay soap and i noticed you listed it. so, where do you go for this and is it purely clay or is it mixed with some other ingredients?
thanks for sharing this NappilyInLove ^_^
