Can you sit in the sun? don't burn & watch tan lines. but the sun will help. drink a lot of water fruits and veggies - raw between now and then. a good flush of the system. have fun at prom!!

For the summer I hit the tanning booth like five times in 2 weeks. Itll help sooo much! Thats what my doctor told me to do.

Whatever you do, DO NOT GO IN THE SUN. the suns rays is an acne feeding machine. proactiv works really good in a short amount of time.

Take zinc it helps control the oil n clears breakouts within a week I swear I took it to clear up my skin for prom.. Drink at least 2-3 bottles with it to flush out breakouts faster n eat with it too.

I've been using the African black soap on my face for the past two days and I love it so far! I really also love the Clinique acne solutions kit, it saved my face

African black soap! My skin is completely clear and it's only been two weeks. I also moisturize with a mix of unrefined coconut oil, unrefined Shea butter, and grapeseed oil that I mix together at home (only at night, it's a bit too heavy for daytime). I use L'Oréal Triple Active day moisturizer in the morning.

Lmao sitting out in the sun is actually the best thing to do, it kills the bacteria. Also if your around the beach salt water helps a lot too. Last summer I was in the Mediterranean and I got complements on how clear my face looked after a week of swimming and Sun bathing. Hydrating is the most important though, if you want to get rid of acne, so drink lots of water! If all else fails you could try benzoyl peroxide and witch hazel.

Dry them out, use natural soaps and exfoliating sponges, also don't moisturize with heavy stuff. also clean bedsheets work wonders!

The sun DOES NOT HELP ACNE! I went to a dermatologist and that is a huge thing try looking out for hidden culprits of acne like un-washed makeup sponges , and un cleansed makeup brushes, try changing your pillow case every week and in the middle of the week flip it over, and super trendy clothes are tight but tight clothes make your body sweat and cause tons of acne so lay off tight shirts, and finally use a loofah in the shower with your body wash. Hope it helps!

The Sun will dry out your skin/breakout and oily pores making it SEEM clearer... but because its dryer your skin might become oilier. Tanning is awful for your health, indoor tanning in particular. Getting some sun outside is great, but in moderation.

Try african black soap and visibly even moisturizer it works wonders use it twice a day in the morning and at night be sure you use the moisturizer or it will dry out your skin it will all help clear up the acne as well as even out the skin tone.

Activated charcoal capsules!! They absorb toxins because they are infused with oxygen. I usually break two open and mix it with aloe vera to make a paste. Activated charcoal is NOT the normal charcoal you see everywhere.

I use that for a face mask. Otherwise, neutrogena naturals face wash, St Ives apricot scrub, and aveeno positively radiant moisturizer!! That's my daily routine.

Use a moisturizer and make up with a waterbase, don't use oilbased!

I've just started using tea tree oil as a spot treatment at night and it's made a huge difference. It's anti-bacterial and won't dry out your skin like benzoyl peroxide. The first night I used it I had super painful cyst on my chin coming in and by morning it shrunk to half its size! I just put a few drops onto a cotton ball and dab problem areas after my moisturizer sets in.
