you will have to :
1.use detergent soaps like dettol or any soap that will remove the oil from you skin and dehydrate it avoid the oily soaps and the oily creams that have plant oil because it will saturate your skin with oil besides your own.
2.wash your face whenever you wake up and at least 5 times a day to remove oil .
3.drink a big amount of water through the day because it will decrease the concentration of blood .
4.avoid or limit eating nuts because :A.it is hard to digest.
B. it is oily .
5. do not scratch your face or remove the acne by your fingers because it will bleed and leave scars .
6.decrease the amount of sugar by eating few of high sugar products.
it seems to be hard but take it step by step and gradually it will be easy.

OK lets be real, acne's a b**** and it's the worst thing to get over but its not impossible. The best thing out there for it right now is Acutane, but, it is not for everyone that's why it is only obtained by a Dr's prespription. Some people tend to be allergic to the medicine, for a few percentage it does not work for, but usually it does, for everyone, even though after you stop using it the acne comes back, like with every other medicine after the treatment is over. It is really harsh on your body though, for women they can't take contraceptives or have kids due to some serious problems that can occur while taking it, other people experience horrible peeling and dryness.
Apart from all this, i used to have acne, apparently not bad enough for Acutane (according to my dermatologist) but it was still bad (at least i thought it was), so i was recommended this over the counter medicine called "Nature's Cure". They have two medicines, one formulated for men, and another for women, and among these they have the topical creams and face washes as well as pills that work from the inside out. I personally tried the cream and face wash. Since i started using it i have yet gotten another pimple, seriously, my face is progressing miraculously, alot of the blemishes are gone, almost all. Smooth skin, it does dry it a little bit but barely, everyone's complimented on it. A few more weeks and my face will be completely clear. To help with this i also get facials done, everyonce in a while to help with the deep cleaning, which helps alot to remove stubborn clogs and blackheads and so forth.
I know not all of these over the counter medicines work for everyone, like myself that i've tried Proactive and Murad and all those things and i actually got my face worse due to them. But this one worked, see if you can find it in a neighborhood pharmacy or drugstore, or supermarket (which some of them also sell them), or online in their website.
About a diet, the main cause of acne is not your diet, eating chocolate or drinking too much soda, it's an old wife's tale, BUT a good diet will prevent excess oils in the skin which will clog pores and cause breakouts.
The main cause of acne are your body's hormones, we can't fix those with a change in diet. For me i go to the gym about 5 days a week, and excercise, this helps your metabolism break fatty acids that may affect your hormone production, as well as providing an overall well being for the body and get you nice and fit, a little blood to the old pump is sometimes the best remedy for current health problems as well as future undeveloped ones.
Stress is another factor that people a lot of the time don't consider, it does affect your acne because too much stress will trigger hormone production in the body and well you know the rest. Try to take life easily, i know sometimes it's hard but you gotta try, for my stress, excercise wipes it all out, and it usually does for a lot of people so think about it.
Well i hope this helps you and good luck with what ever you end up trying.

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.

Here are my suggestions:
1) Never play with your face and the acne, when you catch yourself doing so, go immediately and wash your face. Prevent the spread of bacteria.
2) Simply wash your face with soap and water at least 4 times daily
3) Give it 7 days and you will see wonders.
Only if you do not see improvement after strict 7 days, see a dermatologist. Do not waste too much time picking up stuff at a pharmacy.
Playing with acne may leave permanent dimples and small scars on your face.

This will help.....go to Walmart and purchase a shower head massage.
Remove the old shower head and replace it with the new massage shower head and they only cost about $5.00
Once you have done that next time you shower put the m assageer on jet by turning the settings on it and then crank up some hot water just barely where you can stand it.
Let that jet pulse hit your face and carefully not to let it jet your eyes...lol
Move your face up and down slowly as the jet water hits your face.
The reason for the this is very simple. The hot water jet cleans your pores out and will help clear your face up.
