Acne is normally caused by the hormonal changes in your body. Washing is one of the ways to Lower the amount of pimples you get, but not the only way. The oil glands in your hair and skin produce a specific type of oil lubricant, Sebum, but as a teen’s body matures hormones cause these glands to go into overdrive and produce more than necessary. Your pores become clogged and a bacteria gets trapped inside, that bacteria cause’s acne.\n\nNow washing your face two or three times a day can help prevent the buildup of oils, but make sure you DO NOT SCRUB HARD. Washing your face as gently as you can helps, Scrubbing with pressure actually worsens it by irritating your skin and pores! \n\nIf you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." This means it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne. And when you are washing your face, be sure you take the time to remove all of your makeup so it doesn't clog your pores. If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog pores. If you have long hair that touches your face, be sure to wash it frequently enough to keep oil away.\n\nThere are many over-the-counter lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide available to help prevent acne and clear it up at the same time. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly - don't use more than you're supposed to at one time, as your skin may get too dried out and feel and look worse.\n\nSometimes even though they wash properly and try lotions and oil-free makeup, people get acne anyway - and this is totally normal. In fact, some girls who normally have a handle on their acne may find that it comes out a few days before they get their period. This is called premenstrual acne, and about seven out of 10 women get it from changes in hormones in the body.\n\nIf you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don't touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it. This might be hard to do - it can be pretty tempting to try to get rid of a pimple. But when you play around with pimples, you can cause even more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Plus, the oil from your hands can't help! More importantly, though, picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars on your face.\n\nAcne is passed on from your parents ask them about their Acne. What helped them may work for you; there is no one single cure for Acne.\n\nFission\n\nNOTE: Some people believe that foods and stress cause breakouts. These are Myths, they are not true.\n\nAcne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french fries or pizza, chomping on chocolate, or drinking sodas. Stress doesn't usually cause acne either (although it can make existing acne worse because stress increases sebum production).\nThere are also myths about what helps make acne better. Acne isn't really helped by the sun. Although a tan can temporarily make acne look less severe, it won't help it go away permanently - and some people find that the oils their skin produces after being in the sun make their pimples worse.

Sometimes when we try to prevent or cure a problem,we can cause the problem to be worse.\nMaybe you don't have oily skin and your skin is only trying to lubricate it'self because of too much washing and thereby drying your skin out and your body is trying to compensate.(A little OCD maybe?)\nTry some Ivory Soap,Oatmeal Soap or Basis Soap.\nBe sure to give it some time to kick in before giving up.\nDO NOT use deordorant soaps as they only cause more drying and you body will respond as such.\nDiet change might help too and check your vitamin intake,you might be lacking something.\nSee a Dermatologist.

Just a few tips :). Wash your face no more than 3 times daily as washing it too often will only worsen the pimples. Try to stay away from oil-based make up; it can trap bacteria and cause EVEN MORE breakouts...\n\nIn terms of remedies---Do you have Aloe Vera at home? I know this sounds a tad mucky (it is), but if you do, crush to soften then rub it on the skin's surface. Leave it on for a few minutes...it works fairly well. \n\nHaving said all that. Why not try ProActive? It's really great. It has helped my skin tremendously; I'm sure it could work wonders on yours :).\n\nTake care. Hope I was able to help! :D

use a salycilic acid wash (just like neutrogena or something) 2 or 3 times a day.  for when you're out and about, make sure to put powder over your concealer, and you can get those touch-up papers.  (a weird thing that a lot of girls do is use toilet seat covers because strangely they are made of the same absorbant kind of paper as the special touch-up ones.  just rip a small piece off and dab the oily spots on your face).  finally, try a non oil-based moisturizer.  my mom says having oily skin when you're young means you'll have nicer skin when you're older, so it's not so bad.

Eat more fruits & veggies. Exercise and drink plenty of water. Stop using products which over dry your skin. I only use Jojoba oil to clean my face and it works great. I take a cotton pad and apply it to clean my face. I know it sounds contradictory that you have oily skin and you apply more oil? But believe me it works great! Give it a try. Get the one which is all natural from Essence.

Have you ever tried Proactiv? It's a really good acne medicine, and I use it every day and have perfectly clear skin. You can order it online, I'm pretty sure. \n\nWhen I wash my face, I use a tea tree oil based face soap. Tea tree oil is really good because it helps prefent zits (don't be worried because it's  "Oil". It's not the same as the so-called bad oil that gives you zits. Tea tree oil gets rid of them!)So try to find a tea tree oil based face wash (not body wash), which can be found at health food stores. It totally works.\n\nSo that, along with proactiv, is what I use to keep my face clear. Hope this helps, good luck!!!

A rash, a pimple, irritation... I wouldn't know, you didn't specify where and how it looks exactly. Try showering everyday and washing that part of your skin thoroughly.

my daughter has gotten the same thing before and i believe it was because she was dipping her hands into different soaps and lotions and then at some point touched her face .sensitive skin can do that cause usually they don't get regular pimples until puberty.

FOR OILY SKIN IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO WASH YOUR FACE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY WITHOUT SOAP. APPLY ASTRINGENT LOTION FREQUENTLY .DON'T EXPOSE YOUR SKIN TO THE SUN. IF IT IS UNAVOIDABLE USE SUNSCREEN LOTION. IN THE MORNING YOU APPLY FACE PACK MADE WITH ALOE VERA, MULTAN MITTI, ROSE WATER,TULASI  POWDER, ROSE PETALS POWDER AND APPLY IT GENTLY ON YOUR FACE AND HANDS FOR 30 MINUTES AND DON'T USE SOAP AFTER WASHING YOUR FACE. IT IS BETTER TO USE MEDICATED SOAPS LIKE MEDIMIX, OR PONDS SOAP WASH. DON'T APPLY OIL EVERY DAY. ALL THE MATERIAL  CAN BE HAD FROM ANY COSMETIC SHOP.YOU CAN USE BASIN POWDER MIXED WITH CURD. YOU WILL GET CERTAINLY GOOD RESULTS. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO CONSULT DERMATOLOGISTS INSTEAD OF BEAUTICIANS FOR YOUR ACNE PROBLEM. IN TEEN AGE ACNE PROBLEM IS COMMON.YOU NEED NOT WORRY.MY ADVICE TO IS NOT TO PULL PIMPLES IT FURTHER DAMAGES YOUR SKIN.

I have had sever dermatitis on my hands and I also have had severe acne there are a couple of things I remember that helped me try not to touch your face as this will increase the amount of pimples you get as they are caused by mostly bacteria on the skin ie transferred from your hands/fingers to your face.  I also think that food is not the cause of bad skin in fact they say that chocolate does not cause pimples in any way shape or form and if you are drinking plenty of water then there should not be a problem in regards to flushing your system.  I have tried that many products to manage my acne and have found that loreal Happyderm moisturiser is fantastic it contains phytodorphins that supposedly make skin happy and it works for me.  I have also used Bio oil which has orange oil extract it is available from most pharmacies and supermarkets and is fantastic on scars another thing I have tried to reduce redness is the ordinary eye drops you buy over the counter to reduce redness in your eyes work on your face as well but only for a short time they work by reducing the size of the capillaries in your eyes so they do the same for your face and another good idea I found is wash your hands after touching anything that could transfer dirt to your face once you become aware of this its really easy to not touch your face and I also found that a good routine as far as cleaning goes helps same time every day wash,tone and moisturise and only once a day and I also found that changing your pillow slip everyday really helps to reduce breakouts as well I also found that accepting you have a skin condition and doing whats possible for you helps you to feel better in yourself as you know yourself you are doing everything possible by not squeezing them is the right thing to do another thing is getting some silicone glove cream which not only protects your hands but your face as you aren't transferring bacteria from your hands to your face I wish you the best mate because somebody who doesnt have a skin condition doesn't understand what it is like painful and it makes me unhappy and I always am aware of it especially when people stare.

Try going to a sauna a couple of times a week.  It will sweat all of that excess oil out.  Sauna's are great for clearing up the skin.

Wash your face thoroughly (until it feels tight and squeaky clean) with plain soap and water as hot as you can tolerate.\nDo this twice a day. Pay especial attention to greasy sections of your face and rinse with clean water.\nYou do not need all those fancy preparations. They just add to the layers of guck in your skin.\nUse a mild abrasive, e.g. one of those cheap oblong rubbery sponges that come ten to a pack. This will also give you a good lather from the soap.\n\nNow, once you do this, you're likely to notice an increase in pimples. This is because you have cleared away skin guck to allow all the stuff underneath to escape. Don't worry - stick with it, it will be worth it.\n\nWhen you get to the point that you don't have pimples any more, keep with the soap and water; it will keep the skin clean and prevent it clogging up again.\n\nLastly, if you have blackheads (common with acne, but not the same thing) buy a blackhead expresser to remove them. These are badly clogged pores and will turn septic if not cleared out.

Usually, pimples appear more on teenagers because they secrete oily substances a lot. When bacteria mix with the oil, infection and then pimples result. In your case, your body may still secrete a lot of oil, maybe due to the types of food you eat (oily), or your body may just have that oily characteristics. You may see a dermatologist for a better advice, or you may just have to live with it and just hope that it will eventually disappear...Lack of sleep may also be another cause. Try to make a research on the other possible causes. Who knows, the solution may come from changing your lifestyle.
