Hey girl i've been going threw this for the last 3 years and i got this shit dwn to a science. First if you can handle it go to a dermatologist from there order proactive to maintain a good system and lastly Yasmine birth control. And in as little as 2 months you will notice a MAJOR diffrence. Some acne comes from hormones and some comes from bacteria on the skin like from picking your acne. Keep your hair off your face, wash your sheets. And when washing your face never use the same rag you clean your body with. Also drink plenty of water and you should be good to go!! My acne was so bad I use to just break dwn and cry now you would never no I had it. Lastly please please please dnt wait to long because acne can cause really bad scars and marks on your face so do this shit A to the SAP!!! Good luck.

Start on the inside. Do you smoke? Do you drink soda? Are you in a stressful environment? These factors can cause bad skin. Cosmetics help but you also have to do your part. When you buy skin products do you keep a regiment? I have a friend with bad acne and she is always showing me something new she picked up. She will use it for a week and after the newness wears off, it's off to another product. She doesn't even drink water, she drinks alot of soda and smokes. Certain foods can also cause breakouts. Do you drink enough water? How is your bowel movements? It sounds gross, but believe it or not, if you are not expelling enough toxins out of your systems, it causes your skin to react. Bad toxicants are coming to the surface causing breakouts. We all have different skin types and live in different environments, you have to find something that works for you.

Very well said! You may also want to try a detox. This cleanses out your system. I've practically used everything under the sun, but I finally got it together. I went to a dermatologist and had a Vi-Peel and my skin has been good every since. Now I'm using Cindy Crawford line....meaningful beauty and it works for the occasional pimples I get even though it's not specifically for that. It makes your skin glow!

I have major oily skin. After searching some beauty sites, I came across one that focused on black hair. They have a beauty section and that's were I found out about Likayas Papaya Soap. It's a soap that oriental people use to keep their skin light and acne free. Papaya is a natural skin lightner so it faded out all of my blemishs. I also have an issue with the peach fuzz on my face (don't act like you don't have it...we all do). I get my face waxed and for the longest time when the hair grew back I would get those ingrown hair bumps. It even cleared that up. This soap is wonderful. I use it places where I want to even out my skin tone. The catch is, it's hard to find locally in the oriental markets. You can order it from Amazon. It's very cheap. I lucked up and found it at a store in my city but when I went to get a new bar they were all sold out. So I'm on the look out for a new product also. A friend of my uses Dermalogica she says it works really well.

Proactive is very good... I swear by Clinique's 3-step system... also drink lots of water. keep your hands clean and out of your face... I would research Yaz before you ask your doc for it, it has serious side effects that can harm your gall bladder...

Clinique's 3-step is very good. During the winter months I replace their daily moisturizer with their Total Turnaround Cream. That cream does wonders over night. But I have down graded to St.Ives. Their products are very cheap and effective. I use their products on everything from the roota to the toota.
