first of all, avoid using products formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their "beauty" products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly .... also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. I use arbonne products.... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb... because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much, it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back .... also check this site from the fox news about toxins in beauty products..... http://easylink.playstream.com/ydc/arbon...

I'm not a guy but this kind of adds onto the question and an answer to guys who say no gross ect ect. First, we can't help when we get acne! Yes you can wash your face but that doesn't make acne go away for good! Second, I've heard that it's better to get acne at a younger age (<20 and lower) because when you get older your less likely to get it yet if you don't get it at a younger age you're more likely to get it when you're older. Third everyone is going to have at least one pimple somewhere in your lifetime I swear to it! So don't judge a girl or a guy who has acne because it's not our faults we can't help it and acne is mostly caused by stress so we get acne because most guys stress us out because they won't accept us unless we look like Victoria secret models! So don't judge a girl or guy because they have acne because at some point you'll have it too.

Ok, first take a deep breath. I know what you feel like but its not the end of the world: there's hope!
1. Use a facial soap like St. Ives apricot scrub for acne to clear blackheads and white heads. this is cheap: only 3.99 at walmart
2. Next comes the expensive part, but well worth it. Go to Macy's or some department store that carries CLINIQUE and ask them for a pore minimizer that also has salicylic acid (acne medication)
3. Use CLEAN & CLEAR lotion. It dosen't clog pores. It's oil free and also has .5% salicylic acid.
Hope that helps. Good luck girl!

Moisturize with something that won't clog pores (I use Aveeno). I also have a prescription for Retin A Acid cream, it dries out the black heads and white heads which will cause them to wash away with a good scrub. If you have very sensitive skin you gotta be careful with it though, because it can cause dry flaky skin (but I kind of do that on purpose because then my pores get tighter and all of the flaws and scars peel away). Good luck!

I use the Clear Skin Regimen at http://www.acne.org. It's a non-profit (so it's free), the guy who created used to suffer from pimples himself. The system works wonders on my face, and its helped countless other people. The best part is that you don't have to order or buy any expensive treatments, everything you need for the Regimen can be found at your local drugstore. Find out more at the website.
In general, for clear skin it helps if you: don't touch/pick at your skin, drink lots of water, wash your hair frequently, change your pillowcases, exercise, wear little make-up (or if needed, hypo-allergenic makeup), and minimize stress.

uhh i have whiteheads too.The only way you can get rid of them is to go to dematologist and get them zapped away.Try boiling some hot hot water and put ur face over the steam not enough to burn ur flesh jst enough to feel the warmth, then put a towl over your head.And focus ur head on the steam.That cleans out your pores.
O and get a non pore clogging MOSTURIZER spf..i use almay spf 15 or loreal spf 15 mosturizer..and use an st.ives apricot scrub to wash ur face with.These products are non-pore clogging instead of the lotion u use.
