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.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Don't you think if there was such a thing, that NO ONE would have acne? There is no such thing.

If you've tried everything, then go see a dermatologist. They can prescribe things you can't buy in the stores. But still....nothing is going to work overnight or in a day or two. It takes time. And they all have some side effects. You just have to find the one that works best for you.

i dont know much about the mini pill, but I got the depo provera shot a year ago after having my daughter and not only did it give me acne, ( and Ive never gotten acne, ive always had clear skin) I also put on more weight than i had while being pregnant and it made me feel super depressed, I dont recommend that shot.. i felt 100 percent better once it had finally gotten out of my system. how old are you, have u looked into IUD's .. they dont have hormones and wont cause acne or weight gain..

Hey sweety,
Birth control pills regulate your hormonal levels in ways that gets rid of acne. It helped me a lot.
Now, you can explain your parents that many girls take birth control for that reason wheather or not they chose to be sexually active. And if you do, than that just serves two purposes.

Hope that helps,

Don't we all wish there were? Keeping face clean and hands away from face help a lot.
