Try not to wash your face too much, maybe once a day would be okay because otherwise, it could over-stimulate your oil glands to make more oil. Always moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer after washing too. As for your acne, being that you're going through puberty, your oil glands are gonna go haywire for a few years, but that's normal. All of your friends will be getting them, or have them already, so try not to worry about it too much. To help clear them up though, try using tea tree oil. Just put a couple drops on a cottonball and rub around your face (it will also absorb the dirt and gunk from your pores like an astringent.) Try not to use anything drying on pimples though, like salicylic acid, toothpaste, anything like that. All that will do is make them more noticeable because if you decide to wear makeup over them, then it'll just cake up around your pimple. The best thing for them is to put moisturizer on them to help bring oxygen to them. Plus, it'll keep them hydrated so any makeup you wear over them will glide right over them, making them less noticeable. Also, if you'd like a good makeup tip, skip the concealer and just use foundation over your pimples and any red or discolored areas. Once you've blended them in, use a light dusting of powder to help set it and give it that matte finish. Hope this helps. =)
Oh yeah, and be sure to drink plenty of water and eat right. Too much junk can also be the causes for your breakouts. And if it's around your time of the month, you'll just have to be prepared with your moisturizer. =)

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Try the Ketsugo range, all the products are supposed to actually control oil production over a period of 6 weeks or so.

proactiv is really great, though. i don't want to sound all infomercial, but it really does clear up you skin and keeps it clear and contro the oil - you might just want to give it a shot
