Answer 1

Wash your face twice a day, with ordinary soap and water, but don't wash too often or scrub too roughly.


Consider a product containing tea tree oil at a 10% to 15% strength; it can be an effective alternative to benzoyl peroxide. Wiped on twice a day, this solution is antibacterial and can help to dry out active lesions.

Use only "oil-free" cosmetics. They are usually labeled "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic." Be sure to wash off cosmetics with soap and water every night before going to bed. And avoid cosmetics altogether if you have severe acne.

Try a daily chamomile tea rinse. Make a strong chamomile tea, allow it to cool, and wipe the liquid over your face each morning. It makes an effective daily rinse because it both tones and cleanses.

Avoid tight-fitting nonabsorbent clothes, especially exercise outfits and sweatbands, which tend to trigger acne. If you can't avoid them, at least change out of them as soon as you can.

Stay away from "trigger" foods that you feel may set off your outbreaks. Even though there's no proof that food causes acne, it can't hurt to avoid any potential problems. Try eliminating the "junk" fats (called trans fatty acids, like the hydrogenated oils) and replacing them with the "healthy fats" like those found in flaxseed and fish oils.

Don't pick at your face. Squeezing and picking pimples and other acne blemishes can increase inflammation and result in permanent scarring.

Clearisil is freaking stupid. It has never worked for me even when i used all of their procducts in the order described. Use pro active, it's pricey but it works.
