dont hide your natural beauty with makeup.(:
do you have bangs? tie them up when at home, or whenever you can. i like neutrogena’s pink grapfruit scrub. smells super good and works super well. i dont recommend clean and clear, but i like neutrogena brand. i like the neutrogena wave because it makes skin really soft and removes dirt and stuff from your face. i recommended it to my friends, and they all love it. if you have red, red pimples, i would use clean and clear acne spot advantage. its a small tube filled with salicylic acid that reduces the size of pimples. some great tips you can use are on youtube. i like looking at bubzbeauty videos, they help a great deal(: i use cleansers in the shower after shampooing my hair. i use it during the time when my hair is soaking up the conditioner. the steam from the hot water opens your pores up. rinse with warm water and continue on with showering(: i shower at night, and wash my face again in the morning. putting cucumber slices on your face for a few minutes each day helps a LOT. eat a lot of tomatoes and strawberries too(: my mom tells me to eat a lot of sushi and fruits for vitamins. drink a lot of water, keep hydrated and email me for more info. good luck!

I know this sounds crazy, but washing your face with antibacterial hand soap (like Dial or whatever) actually helps clear up your face, because it’s made to kill bacteria. works on your face the same way it works on your hands. I swear!
I like clean and clear. My acne was really bad and my skin is extremely oily but it helps. Maybellene 24hr lasting cover up doesn’t make my skin oily which is incredibly rare.
Google "How to get rid of acne" and there r a lot of websites that give u tips on getting rid of acne without using all that proactive junk and stuff. Trust me i had a few acne problems and i found all this cool tricks like blending orange and putting it on or face den letting it dry or rubbing garlic on ur face.. i know it sounds weird but at least try it you’ve got nothing to lose and you dont have to pay lots of money.
I went through a similar thing when I was your age. Only I also had some cystic type blemishes too!
As it turned out, after numerous Rx’s and washes and ‘miracle’ cures, I found that I had digestion and hormone issues!
My mom took me to see a Naturopath – a medical doctor that specializes in natural remedies. She ran a bunch of blood tests and told me that when you go through puberty your estrogen and testosterone levels get all wonky and this causes acne. She made me do a liver, colon and blood cleanse – which was totally gross – and by the time I was done my acne was GONE.
TOTALLY GONE!
This was when I was 15 – at that time I’d had nasty zits from the time I was 10. I still get one or two when I party too much, but nothing like what happened back then (I am 31 now).
So – depending on where you live – find a Sangster’s Health Centre or a Naturopath and they will help design a cleansing program that will probably work.
In the meantime – keep washing your face in the morning and evening (never go to bed with your makeup on. Use a toner. Use an oil free moisturizer – even if you have oily skin, adding moisture will help your skin to stop triggering extra oil production. Do a scrub once a week and follow with your usual wash tone and lotion.
Change your pillowcase every other night – it can trap oil and bacteria in the fabric and make everything worse. If you have long hair, tie it away from your face at night.
Try to avoid acidic foods like oranges and pepsi/coke – these can make existing acne worse but usually doesn’t cause additional blemishes.
Eat more fibre! It is sort of annoying to eat the 10 servings of veggies a day, but you can also do a capsule of psyllium – this helps to keep your digestion system happy and get the toxins out.
WASH YOUR FACE EVERY NIGHT before you go to bed (use a cleaner that makes your face feel cool and tingly after…clean and clear facial scrubs.) make sure you WASH YOUR HAIR every night as well and CHANGE YOUR PILLOW CASES extremely often! (If you go to bed with greasy or product hair it gets on your pillow and when you turn at night it gets on your face…adding even more oil and clogging your pores.) then once a week put on a facial mask (BODY SHOP GREEN ONE!!! for oily skin!) this will clear your face instantly!. Put OXY SPOT TREATMENT (found at walmart or hannahfords) of your zits and it will dry them at night. every morning put aveeno face lotion on (specifically for acene…walmart). or else your face will really dry out and you will get flakes. This will instantly clear it up and prevent it!
