NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Smoking is bad all around. Acne needs clean skin to get better, smoking will get into the pores and clog them up. There are toxins in cigarettes all bad for the skin. And as many have mentioned will age you faster, getting wrinkles and the like. The skin color and texture changes.

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.
In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.

It depends on the person. When I used to smoke, I broke out, so I quit. My friend whose skin is perfect - she washes her face with regular soap, touches her face a lot, and I never spot a pimple on her!- started breaking out once she started smoking. She complained about the bumps on her forehead and her back, but she never stopped smoking. I still see it til this day.
Other examples are my guy friends, when they promise themselves to stop smoking, their acne cleared up. But due to the addiction, 3 weeks later they started smoking, and they began breaking out with some crazy acne.
So from my experience, yeah it makes it worst. But if you smoke, you should know the answer.

Yes. The toxins in cigarettes delay healing so your zits will take longer to go away. They promote the release of inflammatory cytokines that increase cellular damage.
Doesn't matter how healthy the rest of your habits may be- smoking is the number one most dangerous and destructive thing you can do to your body, and the smoke you spew out is more toxic still to the people around you.

No, but you will die young, and I think thats worse than bad acne.

Acne should be the least of your worries. Smoking ruins people's lives. Trust me. Don't do it!

it might not make it worse if you're lucky, but logically it would because of all the toxins and it sure won't help things any.
