I've tried about everything, but nothing seems to really keep off any blemishes. I've also heard that if you have bad acne when you are young, then you will have clear skin when you get older. Is this true?

Well, for some lucky people it clears when you get older. Pimples are caused by bacteria on your skin getting trapped in the pores by excess oil. Your body attacks the bacteria making a little red inflamed mound. I have found that you just have to try new soaps and moisturizers until you get a system that works for you. Right now I use a mild face soap (not bar soap! too harsh) and lots of moisturizer (especially in the winter). If you over dry your face it will produce more oil to compensate and as a result more bacteria will be trapped in your pores, the bacteria is the enemy, not your oil. Also, exfoliate your skin once a week b/c dead skin cells help to trap the bacteria in your pores. If it is really bad you can go to a dermatologist and they can prescribe a potent acne medication for you.

Drink lots of purified water and squeeze a lemon in it .
Must be purified water and must be Organic Lemon.
Drink at least a quart of this daily.
Also, do not use any soaps or chemicals on your skin. Just purified water and lemon juice if it is oily skin.
This will give you beautiful skin.
