Try to figure out what is causing the acne start with your current cosmetics if they are not noncomedogenic they are probably making you break out - other contributors could be hormones and/or your diet - so try to eat healthy and destress with something relaxing if you are ever stressed or if its that time of month - make sure you have a good skincare routine with a gentle acne cleanser and low alcohol based toner and a moisturizer with spf for day time - at night try something more moisturizing than your day one - for the oil moistruizer is key and also you can use powder over any liquid makeup to absorb excess oil.

I just gave this same advice to another girl but I STRONGLY suggest you try this. I wish I could send a mass email to every girl in the world about this lol. Every morning drink a cup of warm filtered water (not tap) and the juice of a whole (preferably organic) lemon. Drink with a straw to protect teeth. I SWEAR by this! I saw improvements within 24 hours and my face has never been so clear. The lemon although acidic turns alkaline in the digestive tract and an alkaline body is the key to clear skin. It detoxifies your skin of toxins and is also loaded with vitamins. It's extremely extreeeaaammmllllyyy healthy. This will work if your acne is due to hormones and/or a chemical imbalance which in most cases it is. If its from your makeup or products that's a different issue you need to change them. But please please try this. Your face will be clear and less oily as well.

Wow Veronica that's really cool I'm going to try that! :)
My advice would be to drink a lot of water, and wash your pillow case every week because not washing it for a while can give you acne

Use products with activated charcoal :) it'll balance the ph of your skin reducing the oiliness level :) Lush has a really great face bar called 'coalface'. Try it out, hope this helps!

@Veronica is absolutely right about the lemon water it might not be a cure all but it does have a lot of benefits,and does turn alkaline inside of you and that helps with a lot of things.

And make sure your cleansing twice a day with a salicylic face wash and moisturizing even oily skin needs a moisturizer try a tea tree toner also it will kill the bacteria on your skin exfoliate twice a week with a gentle scrub with micro beads in it not crushed shells and use spf daily to prevent hyperpigmentation.

Believe it or not just plain Dove bar soap has worked for me with breakouts. I would buy all kinds of products and they didnt work

Veronica- do you drink a glass or warm water, and then a separate glass of lemon juice? Or can you mix them together?
