How do you stop acne.?
350321
Try the Clear Skin Regimen by Acne.org, I set a goal of three months for myself last April and stuck with it, after a month my skin was completely clear, and since I set a goal farther away it was easier to achieve, as I didn't have my hopes up for a quick fix

Girl, I suggest you eat 6 small meals a day and exercise. Another trick that I have is take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar every evening it cleanses the blood and removes fat deposits in your cells. It also kills bacteria inside your blood stream and clears up acne.

no, no and no! acne starts on the inside, and to beat it, so should you! washing does help.\nwithout going to a perscription, start off drinking 64 ounces of water a day! this will flush the toxins from your system, and start clearing your skin. just washing will help, but it will not clear the acne!\nto get it nipped in the bud, go to your doctor, he or she can help you get it for the most part, clear. good luck!! :)

Acne is a tough problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't always disappear as you get older, which could develop into adult acne.\n\nFurthermore, if left untreated, acne can cause semi-permanent scarring.\n\nThe good news is that it's all pretty much preventable.\n\nThe bad news is that I suggest if your acne is quite bad, you see a dermatologist as soon as possible. Save up some money, even if it means that you have to cut corners elsewhere for a while. You should make sure that your health and well-being is a priority.\n\nYou could try to tame acne with a regimen of over-the-counter solutions. You should make sure to wash your face at least 2 times a day, use a toner for oily or acne-prone skin, and use a topical cream to help dry out existing blemishes. You may also wish to try a system called "Proactiv Solution," which you may have seen on tv. People have used this product for acne with varying degrees of success. Google "Proactiv Solution" for more information.\n\nThe problem with this solution is that often, with acne, the problem is below the skin - where creams and washes can't reach. This is why it's so important to see a dermatologist.\n\nFor more information on this topic, google the terms "acne solution" or "acne tips."\n\nGood Luck!

If you are prone to acne, Proactiv is wonderful.  Otherwise just use Oxy pads or some other over-the-counter acne medicine to help dry it out.  Also, use a facial cleanser with gritty stuff in it every day.  Practiv has one as part of its program, and St Ives makes an apricot scrub.  They are great for cutting down on blackheads, which can later turn into pimples.

Same here. You should try to wash your clean twice a day and use any acne medicine, I usually use SeaBreeze.

Please see my acne page ( at the bottom of the page there is also a link to an ebook that has helped a lot of people.) Good Luck!

To cure acne you must cure the gut (gastrointestinal tract).  Stress is well known to cause serious disruption of gut function (especially if you add a medical drug or two to the mix - e.g. antacids, antibiotics, or NSAIDs like Motrin, Advil or Aspirin).\n\nYour doctor is not likely educated on this issue, so you may need to educate yourself (or find a Certified Clinical Nutritionist [CCN], Chiropractor, Naturopathic Physician, or that rare Medical Doctor that is trained in nutrition).\n\nSherry Rogers, M.D. has written an excellent book on how to heal the gut (you do NOT have to have any 'stomach or bowel problems' to have gut problems - many people are asymptomatic at the gut level).  The book is called: "No More Heartburn".  Do not let the title mislead you, this book is about healing all kinds of gut problems, especially leaky gut syndrome and intestinal dysbiosis (the two likely factors in your acne).  The book is available at Amazon.com and I highly recommend it.\n\nI hope you find this helpful.  Best wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S.  Many of the acne drugs doctors like to use are virtually guaranteed to cause gut problems!  This may be why their use does not 'cure' your problem, but literally prolongs it!

I’ve heard that three cloves of garlic a day can help prevent acne.  If you take them and put them in a blender with some V8 then it tastes just like a spicy V8.  Tea tree oil is good for acne, but it can dry the skin. It may be better to dilute it. I have also tried one or two egg whites whipped with a tsp of honey and one or two tsps of lemon juice.  Let this sit on your face for 10-15 min and do this about 3 times a week, if your face gets to dry then you can include the yolk. \n\nBest of luck..\n\nIf you look online you can find lots of stuff on home remedies.  There are also lots of books on the subject, try checking some out at the library.  :)\n\nhttp://www.womanht.com/beauty/beauty.htm

Pimples are a result of a chemical imbalance in the body this is sometimes brought on by stress, not eating right, and even lack of exercise.  Take a multi vitamin daily, wash your face twice daily and use an acne clenser or follow up with an acne fighting astringent.  This will help keep the skin clensed and keep new ones from forming.  As for the current ones use a "sopt fighter" at night and this will help shrink them.  If this dont work you might have to go to a dermatologist to get something stronger.  Good Luck!

Wash face, use toner, use all-over treatment, use spot-treatment; respectively. Twice a day. If it is moderate or worse (not mild) then go to a dermatologist who will give you pills. And don't touch your face ever

Try pro-active or see a dermatologist. I had acne that was caused by stress and a hormonal imbalance and my dermatologist put me Acutane and it worked great but it takes at least 2 months to start working.

1.  Change your pillowcase every other day (sleep on it one night, flip it for the next night, then change the pillowcase for the next night. Lather, rinse, repeat. LOL).  You may have to get someone to buy more pillowcases for you .  In a pinch, fold a clean towel over the pillow and sleep on that.   Our bodies get rid of extra oils and "poisons" in our cells by sleeping at night, and we exhale all of those through our breathing and skin. It will go into your pillowcase as you perspire at night.\n\n2. Wash your hands in the sink, then wash your face with your HANDS ONLY.  Use an antibacterial soap. Do not use a washcloth as they carry germs and bacteria and you will spread the acne around. Wash just when it gets "oily " on your forehead and nose throughout the day. Let it air dry.  (Or, at school, just "pat dry" with a paper towel).  Don't overwash your face, it just makes the follicles produce more oil. \n\n3. Do NOT touch your face throughout the day. You need to train yourself not to do this. Touching spreads bacteria around. You may be holding your chin in your hand throughout the day, which would cause chin acne. You may be touching your face and not even realize that you do so. Or do you have sporting equipment where you wear a chin strap. If so, that needs to be washed in an antibacterial daily. \n\n4. Drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your skin well- hydrated. This keeps the pores healthy. \n\n5. Change your diet--don't eat greasy foods like fries, tacos with lots of cheese, meats.  Add lots of vegetables to your diet.  Drink green tea or herb tea to flush out your system and achieve balance. \n\n6. Use the "clear" clearasil on the acne that really hurts and DO NOT TOUCH THEM, until ready to come out.  After a blemish comes out, use hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and hold it on there while it cleans out the pore. It will fizz, which is what it is supposed to do. Let dry on its own.\n\n7. Don't use oil based makeup, ever. \n\n8 .  If it is really getting bad, see a dermatologist so that you don't get the scarring.\n\nGood luck , I had this problem in high school .  I wish someone had told me to back off on all the face washing.
