It depends on how old you are. If you are younger than 20 - it will go away. If you are over 20 then go to a nutritionist. It probably means you are allergic to something simple that never would have crossed your mind that is causing acne.

My favorite "facial" is an aspirin mask. I go to the dollar store and buy a bottle of 100 non-coated aspirin for a buck. I put about 10 of them on a spoon and add a couple drops of vinegar to the spoon. (you can put them in water or crush them and dissolve in water but the vinegar instantly make them into a paste. fyi: aspirin will not totally dissolve. I mix the aspirin which is acetyl salicylic acid with a little bit of sour cream for the lactic acid. I first scrub my face with it and then I leave it on for as long as I can. It really works great to leave on all night but it's messy because it gets flakes of aspirin all over your sheets but the results are worth changing the sheets once a week like I should do anyway. I developed adult acne and tried everything and nothing else helps. This is a miracle cure. Also, if you can't stand the thought of sour cream, use yogurt or just use some of your regular cleanser, they work ok but I think the sour cream does better. I have also made myself an aspirin toner that I use every day. I mixed my clinique toner, some burt's bees rose water and glycerin toner, some white vinegar and 15 aspirin. My face has stayed free of zits for 6 months.

Get oil blotting papers for the shininess...they sell them at walmart....try using an astringent on a cotton ball to clean your face after washing it with soap...it will clear off the dead skin and the bacteria that the soap will not remove.... and if this doesn't work you may have eczema which is not acne at all...get the Noxzema products to help clear it up

A lot of times when you are having trouble with acne it has to do with your liver. If you believe in holistic things, perhaps a liver cleanse might help.
