1 How old are you? How old were you when you started breaking out? I'm 18 now. I started breaking out when I was 16. Never really had much acne before then. 2 Is your skin always clear, do you get spots sometimes, or do you almost always have a breakout? I get pimples near my period. I usually get one of two somewhere around my mouth, and maybe the odd one around my forehead. They usually clear up once my period's done though. 3 What face wash do you use? Clean and Clear Morning Burst (the purifying one in the blue bottle). 4 Do you use face masks or scrubs or anything? What kind? I use St. Ives products for this. I use their clay firming mask at night (sometimes I skip it, but I try to do it quite a few nights a week). I also use their Apricot scrub once or twice a week. 5 What brand make up do you wear? What do you wear (foundation, concealor?, ect) Just drug store brands. I like Maybelline and Cover Girl products. I change the brand I use frequently because I'm looking for the best product for my skin (most of the best products I've used are Cover Girl). 6 How much makeup do you wear? Usually just concealer, foundation, and a bit of mascara. Sometimes some eyeshadow too. 7 What spot treatments do you use? Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5. I put that on any pimples before I go to bed. 8 Do you eat junk food or healthy? I eat both healthy foods and junk food. Probably a bit too much junk food, but oh well. I also drink a lot of water. Water's a big help.

Analyze your diet. If you are eating alot of fast food, fried foods, or sugars that can directly affect your complexion. Adjust accordingly. Otherwise, simply use regular soap on your face to dry up the acne that's there already. Make sure you do not touch your face at all throughout the day, that is also another way acne tends to flare up. Don't pick or rub any of the existing blemishes. In fact when washing your face, use a facecloth instead. Do not use any oil-based products on your face ever (ie: liquid makeups, blushes, etc...). Use water-based. Drink lots of water, stay away from sodas or anything with alot of sugar and caffeine. This actually makes a difference, I know it does for me. I have a very fair complexion.

What's the big deal about using things like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide? They work, and they're cheap. It's not like they're made from animals or cause cancer.
You could use natural acids from fruit to help exfoliate your skin. I'm sure there are topical formulations available at health stores that use natural sources of these alpha-hydroxy acids or whatever.
Acne is caused by clogged pores and overactive oil glands. It's true that you don't want to irritate your skin into producing even more oil, but I disagree that you don't want to wash your skin. You just have to find your skin's balance and not overdo it. It's also true that you should not scrub it like with a washcloth. Just use a gentle facial cleanser like Noxzema to remove EXCESSIVE oil and dirt.
By the way, i'm a 35 y.o. male who never completely outgrew acne, but I don't have acne as long as I am careful to use benzoyl peroxide occasionally, a salicylic acid cleanser at night, and use a salicylic acid cleanser in a spray bottle on my back.
I also occasionally use a mud mask to clear out my pores; I try to use it a couple times a week.

Natural products with witch hazel and tea tree oil are good for acne. Tea tree has antibacterial properties. Witch hazel will help remove excess oil and will shrink pores.
Once a week, use a homemade scrub with sugar and olive oil to exfoliate. Follow up with a wash with an all natural face cleanser containing tea tree. You can find this at a health food store.

Drink plenty of water, stop eating chocolate and try using witch hazel every 2 days. (Witch hazel is a natural product) You can get it in a stick or as a shower gel/ face wash type thing. It can be a little harsh so read the instructions carefully but its good for acne and blemishes.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

use a natural astringent in am and pm-like whitch hazel or even rubbing alcohol-yes I know everyone says this dries your skin out-exactly-dry those zits out and use a good moisturizer-after cleansing 2x a day-and in 2 weeks I promise you'll see a difference.

Stop touching and washing your face. Thats it!! dont even wash it with soap and water. Rinse of for 1 sec in the shower and thats it dont pick, touch or even rub. Sounds nasty to not clean your face but what your doing is throwing of your skins oil/moisture balance.
