Let me tell you something not many people know,
When you try to wash the oil off your wash using soap or
any store brought product what happends is it sucks up alot of the natural oils
out of your skin, and what happends when that occurs? your
skin goes into over time trying to reblimish the lost oil
and doubles the amount, your pores open up more to get more of the oil out and air in so let me help you
Ah ok well my mother had the same problem as you,
and let me tell you what she did to make it stop,
this is a home treatment of course, the only thing
you may need to buy is a lemon if you dont already have some in the fridge,
what you want to do is get some lemon and squeez that
sucker into a tiny bit of honey, and mix that all together, put that
into the area where you want treated and wait 5-10 mins and than wash off,
the lemon works great as a toner and as we all know toners are
great for tighthing the skin and even better for your pores to look
smaller, the honey helps as an evener, it will even out the uneven
skin tone and also sooths the skin,This teachique not only destorys the pimples you already
have but it also helps prevent them from coming up again,Drinking alot of water
every day also helps alot :) Well I hope this helps <3 good luck
-- Love Vanessa

There is a generic brand of Proactiv called Acne Free. It can be purchased at a local wal-mart for approximately $20.00. I have used this cheaper alternative when I could no longer afford Proactiv and found it to be just as effective, if not more so.

Don't get proactive, it damages the skin.
The first step in clearing acne is to cleanse with a non drying cleanser, tone with a non drying toner and moisturize with a moisturizer that won't block your pores. Then you treat the pimples.
Go to marykay.com find a consultant with your zip code and email or call her and tell her that you want samples of the formula 2 line for acne treatment and acne treatment gel.
It will take 2 weeks for your face to clear up but this is what my daughter uses and she had been called pizza face and now her skin is perfect.
Good luck!

Noxema
Thats it...I used it and can count the # of pimples I had on 2 hands. Rinse your face with really warm water to open pores. Scrub in Noxema all over face for 30 seconds to minute...I let it sit for another minute and then rinse with really warm water. At first it will seem like pimps getting worse, but that is only because Noxema is drawing out the bad stuff. I did it twice a day at first and when it got better once a day. If it got worse again...back up to twice a day...and the cycle went on...but...no pimps and no pimp scars.

All these products that claim to treat and prevent pimples are not 100% trustworthy. They may clear pimples for a few days, but it will probably come back while some products don't even work at all. I think washing your face about 3x a day will help and drinking plenty of water. Don't overwash your face or it will dry out. Eat veggies, they are good for your skin. Good luck!

I use proactive which works for me, but since you cant get that, try noxema stuff, which you can get at most stores. If you can order off the internet try Nelsons Acne Gel for spot treatment.. works well for me! I know the problem you're dealing with and I hope my suggestions help! Otherwise you may want to see a dermatolegist!

If you put baking soda in your face wash it will work wonders.
I heard the tip on the Tyra show and the person go the tip from a make up artist.
It works really good!
*Oh if you do use baking soda don't mixed it in the bottle
pour some in you hand and then mix it with the face wash.
And drinking lots of water helps too!

why cant you get proactive, i heard that works really well? Well we all know that there is nothing in the world that can stop our acne completly, but make sure to get concealer, put it over your zits everyday then put your regular make up on. I swear it works great. Also make sure to moustirze EVERY DAY! That actaully really helps.
Hope i could help xD
