U may want to pull ur hair upwards coz it irritates the skin,, use a facial wash atleast 2 times a day and wash ur face regularly.

If you 're the kind who likes or has tried many kinds of products/ facial wash/ acne creams, I 'm going to suggest you to STOP! The reason I 'm telling you this is because most of them contains chemical ingredients that you can 't even pronounce or understand the roots of it, only God knows how exactly safe are they. I don 't even like the idea of applying toner, moisturizer etc those crap. I mean, if you look at those old people, most of them have smooth skin without much acne scars/ marks left, it 's because during their time, they didn 't have much facial products to use, and I believe that most of them either use a normal soap to cleanse their face or just water! So, just let your skin rest from all those stupid chemicals, and just use a very gentle cleanser (I 'm using Cetaphil), or, water and that 's it, let it breathe. I 've known a few people who have stopped using products and switched to just using ONLY water to wash their face, and after 3-4 months their pimples cleared up itself. I 've tried using only water for 5 days, but I didn 't feel my face is "clean ", and I have a bit of OCD, so I use the gentle cleanser. I know it still has chemicals in it but the cleanser is the most gentle cleanser of all products. BUT on the other hand, my elder sister used to have tons of pimples on her forehead, and one day she got sick of those facial products and began to wash with water alone, and her pimples went off after a few months. After 10 years even till now, age 30, she is still washing her face with only water and maintain perfect complexion. Also, eat healthy (eat more dark green vegetables like spinach and broccoli to help clean your bowel), have at least 8 hours of sleep daily, exercise regularly, and drink 10 glasses of water really helps! I know it 's an old saying but it has been there for so many years, so it definitely have some truth in it.

Havent had acne in a year because of this!!!!( i ocasionally get a small pimple...but hey thats normal!!!) My skincare routine: Cleanser: Basis....this is just a bar of soap that matches your pH level of your skin....so it wont dry out your face(if you don 't use moisturizer though it will) This cleanser seems simple and it is not meant to fight acne...but in a sense it does...it really cleans your face well without drying out your face...i didnt believe my mom when she recomended it...but man does it work wonders Toner: Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner...really any toner you prefer is ok...but this it the one i use. Start from the top of your face and go towards the temples...aslo with cheeks...go towards the temples...then on chin go in circular motions only(not making it up...this is what you are supposed to do whenever applying anything to your face) This will take off the dead skin and make your pores smaller(helps with the dirt getting in) It also leaves face really smooth and nice looking!!!! Moisturizer : Sheer Cover Oil Free Moisturizer...again any moisturizer will be good...just as long as it is oil free, made for the face, does not have any acne fighting agents in it. Dot it all over face then apply just like i said with the toner. Moisturizing can really halp fighting the acne. Did you know that dry skin is actually a cause for acne and pimples? The dry skin will actually clog your pores and therefore cause a breakout. Dont listen to people saying you just need to dry your face out...its a lie. Facial scrub: Oatmeal and Sugar....seriously...this is the BEST scrub i have ever had....just take oatmeal and grind it into a powder and the add Sugar( more Sugar if you want more of a scrub...less if you just want something soothing) then add a little water and make like a paste( not too thick and not too thin) Rub on your face for like 3 minutes then rinse with warm water...put moisturizer on right afterward and your face will feel so refreshed and soft!!!!! Do it about once a week. Dont rub too hard or you will damage face. The oatmeal is for sootheing for face of redness and dry skin. The sugar is for exfoliation. Steam your face for about 5 to 10 minutes a week. Mousturize right after you steam. This will open your pores and get all the dirt and grim out. It also helps with dryness. Dont steam and use the scrub on the same day. It is best to use it on seperate days. Dont ask me why...just figured it out. = ) I suffer a little more from dry skin...but yet it can get oily at times...but with this routine has been great....and now i don 't have a single blemish or patch of dry skin!!!!! It is amazing!!!!! Do this routine( excluding the scrub and steam) twice a day. Your skin will clear up...but in about a week or two your face will break out and that is a good sigh. This is because all of the dirt is getting out of your skin. Just keep with it and it will pay off in the long run...i have great skin right now(used to have horrible skin...i could have seriously been on one of those acne comercials it was so bad)...but now i have stuck with this routine and my skin is now soft and smooth!!!!!!! Tips: Vitamin E(taking it and also rubing on face) is really good for your skin Olive oil is also good(rubbing on face...wamred...rinsed with warm water Taking fish oil is also good Try not to touch your face....it pushes the dirt into your face

How to cure a pimple 1. Wash you skin thoroughly and pat it dry with clean towel. 2. Wrap an ice cube in a washcloth and hold it over the spot for a minute or two; it 'll help bring down the swelling. 3. Dip the end of a cotton swab into some diluted tea tree oil (available at any pharmacy, and trust me, this oil was meant for the skin!) and dot a tiny amount directly into the pimple. 4. Leave it alone to heal. Don 't pop, pinch, or squeeze pimples, it will only make it worse.

I have only found one solution to work out of all the solutions I have tried. I will list a link to it below.I am putting the link, because this is the only place you can buy it.If there 's none available, just check back.The company is fairly new and at times, it is selling faster than they can produce it. I have tried a lot of products, but this is the only one I can say actually works and does exactly what it is advertised to do.

Http:/ / acnebesttreatments.blogspot.com Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 glasses when I wake up (adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times). I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system.
