Acne is a skin condition wherein the pores of follicles of the skin are blocked.The oil which should have comming out of the surface of the skin is blocked along with the dirt or bacteria causing pimples to grow. Here are how to get rid of acne, .dont pick press,rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. .use an over counter products containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. .try over counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol,which helps unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. .dont just spot-treat-acne,put the products on acne areas,too. .go easy on you face. .wash properly once or twice a day,using a mild soap,and rub lightly with your fingers and warm water. .dont use brushes,rough sponges,leansers with granules or walnut hulls or anything similar on the delicate facial skin. .dont use oily products. use water base make up .dont get facial Hope it will help... more power to you!

Hi! there is one more treament that help in acne and that is hypnotherapy. HT not only help to reduce skin related problems but also helps to find out the main cause of acne and to control or remove that reason. Try it as it has zero side effects.

Hello hendraceka!(",) I do believe that acne can cause embarrassment to most teenagers. Here are some natural tips to get read of acne. Sometimes, all your body needs is the right nutritional balance and proper skin care. Here are some easy things you can start doing today to help you heal your acne. You should notice a difference in about 4 weeks. * Apply a honey mask to your face once or twice a week - Honey has antibacterial properties so it is great for disinfecting and healing minor blemishes. It is also gentle on sensitive skin. * Wash twice a day with acne soap - You should wash your face twice a day with a sulfur based soap designed for acne. Once when you first wake up in the morning and then, right before you go to bed at night. Be extremely gentle to your skin when washing - do not scrub or use any sort of rough cloth. Overwashing your skin will actually stimulate your sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, thus increasing your acne. * Keep your hair off your face - If you have long hair or bangs, pull your hair off your face. Your hair contains oils as well, and will contribute to your breakouts. You'll also want to wash your hair everyday and after workouts * Take a potent multi-vitamin - Acne can be a sign that something is wrong on the inside. Your skin depends on nutrition. It is a vital organ that is usually neglected. If your body is not receiving the right nutrition, it will fight back. One common way it will rebel is to produce excessive sebum, clogging pores, and reducing the ability for your skin to heal and fight bacteria. * Include chromium in your diet - Chromium is well known for weight loss diets. But it is also excellent for healing infections on the skin. Taking a chromium supplement once a day will help heal your pimples quickly and prevent future breakouts. * Eat carrots for beta-carotene (Vitamin A) - Vitamin A strengthens the protective tissue of the skin and actually prevents acne. It helps reduce sebum production. This vitamin is essential for the maintenance and repair of the tissue which the skin and mucous membranes are made of. Vitamin A is also a powerful antioxidant needed to rid your body of toxins. Did you know that a deficiency in vitamin A can actually cause acne? * Avoid wearing makeup - Leaving makeup products on your skin only contributes to clogging your pores, causing more pimples and blackheads. If you feel you must wear makeup, be sure it is water-based. * Drink 8 glasses of water - Drinking water is essential for clean skin and your overall health. Water is essential for carrying waste material out of your body... and is quite possibly flare-ups * Do not pick or squeeze your blackheads and pimples - As tempting as it may be, do not squeeze, scratch, rub or touch your pimples and blackheads. Do any of these actions, actually increases the sebum production. Plus, when you squeeze, you are actually rupturing the membranes below your skin, causing infection and sebum to spread underneath your skin. The result is more pimples. * Wash your pillow case every other day - Your face lays on your pillow case every day. Your pillow case absorbs the oils from your skin and reapplies the dirt and oil. Thus causing breakouts. Keep your sheets and pillow cases clean. * Eat foods rich in zinc - Zinc is an antibacterial agent and a necessary element in the oil-producing glands of the skin. A diet low in zinc can actually cause acne breakouts. Hope it did help you. Just try it, remember, there is no harm in trying. Great day and God bless!(",)

There is no medication or cure for pimples especially when you're in your teens. Once you pass your teenage years it will vanish automatically but meanwhile do take care of your diet and clean your face daily so as not to worsen the condition.

Try a treatment containing benzoyl peroxide to reduce pimples. Gently wash affected areas twice a day with lukewarm water and a non-oily, perfume-free soap. Shampoo your hair daily and keep your hair off your face. Don't use products such as conditioners. Avoid covering affected areas with tight-fitting clothing, and do not wear hats. Don't squeeze spots-they may get infected and spread. Take care not to nick spots when shaving. Avoid oil-based cosmetics and creams and opt for non-comedogenic products, which do not block pores. Go without make-up for 1 or 2 days a week. Good Luck!

I have acne pretty bad to. Im 20 years old and still have it. It has gotten better since ive grown older but i still break out. A really great produt you should try is Pro Activ. IM not just saying this either. I used for about year and my face changed dramatically. I would be using it still but i just couldnt afford it anymore, and plus I have a gf that doesnt care, so i dont have to impress anybody haha
