Do The Following FOUR Things EVERYDAY To Clear Up Acne QUICKLY! Doing 1 or a few of these will NOT keep skin as clear as possible! You must do all FOUR things EVERYDAY!

STEP 1 WASH, TONE, MOISTURIZE FACE TWICE A DAY
Wash face 2 times a day, morning and night (possibly 3rd time, midday, if super oily/sweating or after exercising). Only use products that are labeled oil-free, won't clog pores, non-comedogenic, or non-acnegenic!

Try this natural and gentle face routine:
Wash Face with warm water & cleanser – Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar/Wash by Johnson & Johnson.
Tone Face with liquid toner/astringent – Thayers Witch Hazel or Dickinsons Witch Hazel. Witch Hazel is gentle, non-drying, reduces bacteria/swelling, helps prevent acne, minimizes pore size.
Moisturize Face with an oil-free moisturizer – Lily Of The Desert Aloe Vera Gelly, its 99% organic, contains Vitamin A, C, E! Aloe is gentle, helps renew skin cells, heals blemishes/scars. Don't use other brands of aloe, has very little aloe and to much junk in it which can irritate skin!

EXTRA TIP: Dabbing a LITTLE BIT of milk of magnesia on your face will control oily skin and help shrink pimples! Google search the words "milk of magnesia oily skin" and "milk of magnesia acne" for more information!

STEP 2 KEEP HANDS, HAIR, OTHER STUFF CLEAN
Keep dirt & bacteria at bay to prevent breakouts! Always wash hands before applying face products! Don't rest hands on your face! Don't let dirty oily hair touch face! Change your pillowcase often! Clean eyeglasses and phones everyday! Wash or replace makeup tools often!

STEP 3 DRINK THREE IMPORTANT LIQUIDS EVERYDAY
WATER: Drinking about 64 oz of pure water everyday improves skin quality, flushes out toxins, delivers nutrients to skin! You can also include 100% Fruit Juice or 100% Vegetable Juice as part of your daily total.

LEMON WATER: Vitamin C improves skin quality, produces collagen (essential skin protein), reduces wrinkles, helps wounds heal. Every morning start your day with one glass of lemon water. Drink lemon water on an empty stomach, one hour before you eat breakfast to make this remedy work effectively. Squeeze one fresh lemon & some of the pulp into a glass of lukewarm water. You can add a little honey to cut down the tartness. Lemon water helps clear acne, cleanses the liver, flushes out toxins. The acid in lemons can damage tooth enamel, so brush your teeth immediately after drinking this!

CARROT JUICE: Vitamin A keeps skin healthy, reduces sebum/oil production, helps skin cells to shed normal, reduces the size of large skin pores. Drink 1 serving (8 oz.) of 100% carrot juice everyday. You can buy Bolthouse Farms 100% Carrot Juice at most grocery stores. Caution! Overdosing on Vitamin A is toxic & dangerous! Eating to much beta-carotene will turn your skin orange!

EXTRA TIPS: Eating a VARIETY and ALOT of FRUITS and VEGETABLES everyday will help keep skin clear! Foods and liquids that are high in fat, oil, sugar, salt, sodium should be eaten in MODERATION! Milk has been linked to acne, so drink Rice Milk instead! Take a vitamin mineral supplement daily! Buy book The Clear Skin Diet by Alan C. Logan & Valori Treloar.

STEP 4 ACTIVATE YOUR SKIN
AEROBIC EXERCISE is the MOST EFFECTIVE way to clear up acne, but try to do at least 1 of these 3 activities EVERYDAY to activate your skin:

Aerobic Exercise increases circulation & delivery of nutrients to skin cells, encourages good blood supply, helps remove toxins, controls acne breakouts! Do 20 to 30 minutes of exercise everyday or every other day! Drink Water! Immediately take a shower to remove sweat & dirt!

Face Massage improves acne prone skin because it removes toxins away from the face & delivers nutrients to the skin. A lymphatic massage (massaging the lymph nodes on the face) can also improve your skin! You can also buy a book on face massage, such as Ten Minute Facelift by Jennie Harding. Directions: Wash face. Apply toner. WASH HANDS & then use aloe vera as massage gel. Do 10 min massage before going to bed. Don't wash face again, let aloe dry on face.

Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System (electronic face brush with sonic power) will keep acne prone skin clear and smooth! Check out the Clarisonic website. Do not use cleanser that comes with this product, buy Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash. If the Clarisonic is to expensive, buy the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System. Use facial brush once or twice a day. Don't use facial brush if you have pustular acne or serious sensitive skin!

I had the same problem about a year back. Try going to the dermatologist it is SO worth it. I was spending like at least an hour or two TRYING to make my face ok and trying EVERYTHING, then he put me on this antibiotic and it started to go away by itself.

SO WORTH IT.

MAX CLARITY!!!
I am 22 and I had acne when I was younger really bad. It stopped when I turned 19. Then it came back at 21 well I used max clarity for no more than 2 1/2 weeks and my face was completely clear. I only payed $20 dollars for it. I seen it on T.V. so I called and ordered it and they sent it in the mail. You can also order it online just type in Maxclarity. Its easy too. Its just foam that you put on your face you dont have to wash it off or anything. Its three small bottles and you put each one on one after the other. I did it in the morning and at night and Its great. I would garantee it.

I will have to agree with a previous answer to go to the dermatologist asap. If you for some reason can't do so, I would highly suggest using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your face daily. I've been using it for about a year, and what do you know – my skin is the softest and smoothest it's ever been in my entire life!! It's a miracle (:

I dont even know how long ive been using ivory soap….. it works amazing though!!! i hardly get any acne at all and its like $1 something or 3 bars. and i use Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion on my face and it helps my acne to which is about $7-$8 and it lasts! also st. Ives naturally clear apricot scrub blemish and blackhead control, it reduces red marks very good!

If your interested in my advice here is what you can do:

Ok so i would get baby wash cloths you know those really soft ones and when you take a shower (i only wash my face once a day and its good enough) put the soap on the rougher side, and keep the soap in there while you wash your face, and use the white side which is softer and just rub all over your face and then let it sit for about a minute (make sure you wash your face after you shampoo and condition!) then wash it off with luke warm water. DO NOT rub your face dry after you get out towels are way to harsh on your skin. so just let it air dry. thats all you have to do for that.

and now for the apricot scrub; (use in the shower or whenever you use the soap, right after you use the soap is fine thats what i do.) only use it sunday, wednesday, and friday! do NOT use it anymore than that!! and just put it on your fingertips of one hand (portion size should be no more than your fingernail, a lot goes along ways!) and just rub really good all over your face not to hard though… and again dont rub your face dry.

then right before you go to bed put one squirt of the Aveeno stuff in the palm of your hand and rub them together just enough to get some on the other hand then just put it all over your face and neck! dont put it on in the morning just at night before you go to sleep, so only once a day!

I really hope i helped and good luck to you!

ps, dont use the wave, clearasil, proavtiv or any of that its horrible for your skin just use the natural scentless ivory soap! haha and again good luck!!!!! xoxo

Really sorry to hear about your acne battle….I have a friend who swears by ProActiv. May be worth a try.
