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

It is hard to get rid of body acne because you cannot wash it as often plus the clothes you wear can get sweaty and add to the acne.
I know there are several products that are just for body acne but you probably cannot get it at Wal Mart or local places.

I know that this is going to sound stupid. But it works, I've seen it for myself. Take a teaspoon of crushed cuttlefish bone, the stuff that you give to your budgie. Dissolve this in a tumbler of warm milk and drink it every morning on an empty stomach. It can't hurt you so give it a try. Unless you are iodine intolerant!

i have minor acne on my chest. it used to be pretty bad though. i started buying pimple products at target because they have a good selection. i get acne free (it's like proactive but you don't have to order through mail) because it has the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. i also get an exfoliating scrub (face cleaner with little scrubby beads in it) and try to find one with the active ingredient salycilic acid. at night i always put on a treatment with one of those active ingredients, usually acne free repair lotion because it has time released benzoyl peroxide. don't sweat it if you don't get immediate results. it can take up to six weeks for a cleansing routine to kick in so just keep at it. don't give up.
in summary, any good working stuff you would put on your face, put on your problem areas. clean them often.

You can try Neutrogena Oil Free Acne wash for the body.
It dried my skin too much, but if you have really oily skin it might work.
I use Murad instead, but you have to buy that online.

Shower in hot water which will open the pores and use a mild soap or acne wash for your face. Rinse off soap with warm/hot water and before you get out rinse with cold water so it will close the pores.

expholiate, expholiate, expholiate. I'm not kidding. You need to freaking rub that skin. Get a loofa and rub yourself down with it when ever you're in the shower.
Proactiv honestly works like a charm. People use it not just on their face. Ask someone to rub it into your back.
I garantee you'll see result fast if you do either one of these things.
