Acne or blemish-prone skin is a remarkably common skin condition. While many adolescents may experience acne, this condition also can appear for the first time in adults in their 20s or 30s or even later in life. Generally, however, if you had acne as a teenager, you are more likely to have it again as an adult. Eighty to 100 percent of all teenagers have acne to some degree, and an increasing number of adult women also have some acne.
Limit the number of layers ofcosmetics products they apply and to avoid any products containing oil.
Excessive scrubbing or frequent cleansing will not control it, and any rough manipulation of the skin may further irritate and inflame the lesions or even lead to the formation of new acne lesions.
Mary Kay offers a Gentle Cleanser, Oil Mattifier, Blemish Control Toners, a wonderful clarifying mask for blemish prone skin, Acne Treatment Gel and Beauty Clotters oil obsorbing tissues that will help. If you go to www.marykay.com/kaylexasmom you will find them under the skin care portion as well as information on the main page.

okay...your acne is really not that bad. Honestly...you have a good complexion and nice skin. But to keep those pimples at bay I use products with salicylic acid and for a moisturizer something with alkyl benzoate. That should take care of your worries! :) But also keep in mind that not getting your daily dose of all the neccessary vitamins can play a role in your complexion...so try that route and see what happens!
Good Luck!

Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. You can use a cleanser with salicylic acid in it once or twice a week but anymore than that will dry out your skin and make it peel. Keep your hands off of your face and keep your hair off of your forehead if you can. That will help keep lots of bacteria off of your face and bacteria causes alot of acne.

You need to buy some neutrogena called the one spot treatment or something like that. When u open the bosx you see this small bottle like squeezing thing but you can put it all over ur face or just on little spots.

it might be unsafe to put all those harmful products on your face. i've learned my lesson after using a product with salycic acid (however you spell it) and my face got REALLY RED and irritated and even worse! your acne isn't even that bad and noticable. just continue washing your face with a good soft acne wash. i use clean&clear cause it works. buy this facewash, it's in a purple squeezy tube. and it works really good. otherwise you can also cover up that with a little powder since your acne isn't that severe. good luck!

You can buy Salicylic Acid (which is in any astringent). Or you can buy Benzoyl Peroxide. These should work for you since you don't have any severe acne. Clean and Clear makes the benzoyl peroxide, and astringents.

It's hormonal -- high levels of testosterone.
It usually settles down as your estrogen levels rise and your body gets the tesosterone under control.
Some doctors prescribe birth control pills to give increased estrogen.
Best answer in the meantime is as simple as soap and water -- that'll reduce the oiliness.
