Answer 1

People keep saying that by washing your face the more the cleaner it will get. You need to look at what the truth!....And thats that pimples start underneath the skin. Skrubbing your face is only going to irratate it more. You need to get into a routine of drinking at least 6 or more glasses of water a day, washing your face with a light soap like dove or ivory before you apply your make-up. If you were fondations make sure its not really oily to check this place a frew drops of your liquid fondation on a white peice of paper, after a few hours look at it and you will see oil ring around the dap of fondation you placed. If the oil ring is larger than the dot you placed, its to oily, need to change your makeup and read on the back for non oily fondation. You also would want some thats not too dry as well. You need to place a moisteriser on first before apply your makeup one that says..wont clog pores. Than before you go to bed make up to wash your make up off your face. One a week you can try these things but i wouldnt do this more than once a week...
boil some water after the water is boiled place it in a bowl and place your head over the bowl where the steam is and to trap the steam in placed a towel over your head making a little tent. But only be under there for no longer than 3 mins, and dont do it if its too hot, you dont want to burn yourself you just want some steam.
also you can try mashing strawberries with backing soda and mashing it up together and place on your face for about 5 mins, makes your face feel alot smoother.
Also can try washing your face in warm water than applying backing soda and massage in circle motion with finger tips than rinse.
But remember dont do all of these the same week. Try doing one of these methods once a week for a month and see if you see a differece, if not that do the next and try for a month and than the next and see what works best for you.

My daughter used pro activ and it cleared her face up in two weeks. She is still using it, has had no breakouts, redness, or dryness on her face. You can get a thirty day trial size by joining the pro activ club and it is 19.99 a month which is probably what you will spend for the over the counter products.

Answer 4

dont waste your money on pro active, that **** doesnt work. wash your face with soap about 2-3 times a day, in the morning and evening. just keep doing and it will clean up the acne.
