Actually, I have a chlorinated pool and the chlorine dried up all my acne! So I'm hoping it will do the same for you. If not, you can also try Clearasil UItra! That worked for my face and shoulder acne and I'm sure it will with yours too! Goo luck!

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

The chlorine in the water will probably dry the acne better than any astringent.

Wash your face well, and use an astringent to dry the Problem(Clineque products) even on your butt. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not, in fact it will improve it.

I can understand your anxiety - I once wouldnt go in swimming baths at all, but the chlorine in the water helps dry them out the doc told me.

No! Chlorine dries out pimples and, if anything will make your acne better!

I dont think so, but swimming will open up your pores and when
you get out - threat the areas and get off the sugar and the grease if you can.

probabally not. just make sure you dry off really good afterwards. I use proactiv btw, but only on my face, it works really well so if you wanna try that to go for it.
