What Can I Do About Acne?

If you're worried about acne, there are things you can do to keep those pimples away:

* To help prevent the oil buildup that can lead to acne, wash your face twice a day with warm water and a mild soap or cleanser.
* Don't scrub your face. Scrubbing can actually make acne worse by irritating the skin. Wash gently, using your hands instead of a washcloth.
* If you wear makeup, moisturizer, or sunscreen, make sure they are "oil-free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic."
* When you wash your face, take the time to remove all of your makeup.
* If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face because they can clog pores.
* If you have long hair, keep it away from your face and wash it regularly to reduce oil.
* Baseball caps and other hats can cause pimples along the hairline. Avoid them if you think they are worsening your acne.
* Wash your face after you've been exercising and sweating a lot.
* Try not to touch your face.
* Don't pick, squeeze, or pop pimples.

Many lotions and creams are sold at drugstores to help prevent acne and clear it up. You can try different ones to see which helps. Products with benzoyl peroxide (say: ben-zoil peh-rok-side) or salicylic (say: sa-lih-sih-lick) acid in them are usually pretty helpful for treating acne. Benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria that can lead to acne and it also can reduce swelling (puffiness) of pimples. Salicylic acid is another acne-fighting ingredient. It causes skin to dry out and peel, which can help get rid of pimples, too.

When you use a product for acne, be sure to follow the directions exactly. Don't use more than you're supposed to because it can make your skin very red and very dry. It's also good to try just a little bit at first to be sure that you're not allergic to the product. Don't give up if you don't see results the next day. Acne medicine can take weeks or months to work.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

You just have to wash your face with a wet wash rag and scrub everywhere on your face. make sure you use just water. You could also try acne wash every 3 nights. That is what I do and if I don't do this I have lots of acne.

I agree with Brendon C only use a micro-fiber wash cloth and not your hands when washing your face.
Also make sure you are getting alot of vitamin C and the mineral zinc in your diet or with supplements
Also, eat more fish and fruits and veggies and less red meat.

You see your doctor to get antibitoics to get the staph bacteria that causes acne under control. Go see your doc and get treatment started.

proactive doesn't really work! go to your doctor and ask for a perscription! trust me they really work. my brother tryed like everything and nothing worked. but he just got the perscription like a month ago and it is really clearing up!
it does take a while for it to kick in but just ask your doctor about all of that stuff!
