There's not much you can do for prevention - it's just hormones going crazy and you just have to grin and bear it (we've all been there!) However, to get rid of your acne once it's there is different. Toothpaste is a quick and simple solution - just put a little blob on each spot before going to sleep and they'll dry up overnight, gaining a crusty head that is then much easier to pop. Hope it clears up soon (and it will - I had v bad acne from 16-19 years old but once it was over boy was I relieved!)

the only solution to your problem is to relax and release something called stress from everday problems.Did you try seeing a doctor?there are several different medication on the market to relieve headches but not all the products would work 4 you.\n   Have you ever tried putting an ice pack on your forhead?\n   have you ever tried lying down in a very dark room\n   try to abstain from noises and smoke .\n   unnecessary worries ,avoid them\n   dont keep your head dry apply some oil at the middle of your head at night

There are a lot of things that can help cure acne, but the few I rely on most are:\n-Drinking lots of water and tea...instead of soda or juice\n-Washing your face a lot\n-After making a cup of tea, take the used teabag and "wash" your face with it (I don't know if this actually does anything, but I keep hearing it does...and it doesn't hurt to try)\n-Put toothpaste on your zits

Blackheads are clogged pores and usually they are black because of some kind of impurity. I would tell you to wash your face twice a day with witch hazel. 2-4 bucks at the dollar store and drink lots and lots of water. Wash your hands often, with lots of soap to prevent spreading bacteria and do not touch your face unless your hands are very clean. Change your pillow case often, it can spread bacteria from night to night. Witch hazel is cheap, a natural astringent and a PH balancer so, use it everyday and stop eating greasy junk food. Water, water, water.

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!

I love the purifying mask from o c bigelow, then I use the o c bigelow cucumber skin tonic, I spray it on instead of wiping it on, o c bigelow also has a great honey almond face scrub, and here is a link for a tool that I have that really gets the blackheads out. Steaming is good too use a mini crock pot to get the water hot enough, and Swiss Kriss herbs from the health food store, put the swiss kriss herbs in the pot with water in the sink with a towel over your head and blow on the hot water to make the steam come up.

Blackheads consist of skin oil (called sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria that are clogged in a hair follicle.\n\nBlackheads are rare on legs, and more common on face and neck and other parts of the body. I recommend washing regularly and exfoliating to remove dead and dry skin. Use lotions to repair damaged skin and stay away from treatments with too much alcohol. Despite what people say, they may 'dry up' pimples quickly, but will also entirely dry your skin.

Proactive is the greatest invention I have ever come across. My brother had horrible acne and in a few weeks it cleared it up almost completely. He's tried all the commercial face washes, the poor decloggers, the oil removing wipes...everything. He tried 7 different typed of antibiotics. NOTHING worked. Eventually my mum thought "this can't hurt since nothing else has worked" and it worked wonders. Not the cheapest solution but definitely the best!

Try Fruition and Night Repair by Estee Lauder. It is the best cure for acne and recurring blemishes. I used it for about a year and was permanently cured from it afterwards. I haven't had any blemishes for years. It is expensive but both bottles will last for about six months. Apply a small dime size amount of both formulas on your dry face after a shower. You can put make up on over it and after a few weeks you will see a major difference. Good luck and please try it!!!!

The best thing you can do for your acne that i have tried is Proactiv. I have tried everything under the sun and that was the only non prescription solution that worked for me.\nBut be careful because some people have bad reaction to benzol peroxide.

Yes, as lookingdabest mentions, I've heard of ProActive as being helpful, too.  I, however, have had no first hand experience with it.  Other than doctor prescribed Tetracycling, which has been helpful for me, I've been looking very seriously into something called "Zeno".  I've attached the link.  This device supposedly treats acne one pimple at a time, but makes them almost disappear in 24 hours.  Too good to be true?  I'm researching this over and over.

I would actually suggest going to a dermatologist to see what is up with your skin.  If you are prone to allergic reactions to over the counter acne medicines and soaps, I would think a doctor would be the best bet.  For home remedies, you can try swabbing your skin with a solution of black tea-steep a tea bag or 2 in some hot water, let it get nice and strong, cool it off, and wipe down your skin.  Also, remember that you don't need to apply a lot of pressure when you clean your face, just rub gently.  GL.

food can be an issue! greasy foods such as pizza and fries-things like that. it boosts the oil in your skin that builds up and causes acne. alot of things can trigger acne. i know because i had it myself. washing your face to much signals the body that you are running low on oil, so then you get more! you don't want to wash your face more than twice a day! none of my family had acne either. what happens is the oil in your pores builds up and causes a plug. then your skin swells up and becomes red and sore. i would recomend a medication like proactive or acne free! i use proactive and i works like a charm... i used to have bad acne but now you can't see one blemish!

Spend a bit of time out in the sunshine.  It will dry the skin, and lessen the oils.  Also,  keep face clean, and use Hydrogen Peroxide after, on a bit of cotton and pat on face.  Heals infection in the acne, and helps to dry it up.\n\nDon't touch face except for to clean.  Make sure you don't get hair care products on face.  Hair sprays and gels can clog pores. Conditioners can get in pores and harden.  \n\nTie up bangs in hot weather.  The bangs left down can make you sweat more, and presses sebum mixed with sweat into your pores.  Ever notice you have more acne near your forehead?  Sounds crazy but give it a try.\n\nKeeping face clean, helps your pores out alot.  Dirt gets trapped in the pores, that mixes with the sebum, hardens and causes the blackheads.  Clean face as soon as you notice it is getting oily.\n\nDrink 8 or more glasses water daily,  helps the skin flush out wastes, and gives your skin a nice glow.

Leave them alone. Black heads are a fact of life for some people. She can try using a cleansing scrubber such as Buf-Puf to minimize them. Pinching, popping, etc is only going to make her pores seem larger and damage her skin. If you ABSOLUTELY have to pop, get an appropriate tool from the pharmacy. Digging into the skin with nails is going to create sores and scars. Overwashing and using harsh cleansers are going to dry her skin out, creating an overproduction of oil, which will exacorbate the blackhead problem. Blackheads are dried sebum, the oil your skin naturally produces.
