   I made some tips for you to help you with your skin. :)

   ~Always eat healthy,I am vegan I strive to eat as healthy as possible,I love to eat antioxidant-rich foods such as blackberries,blueberries,strawberries and lots and lots of dark leafy green veggies like kale,mustard greens,broccoli,brussel sprouts,snap-peas etc
   I also make sure to drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water a day(I drink 12),a great way to do so is to start when you wake up,try drinking lemon water it give a great kick-start to your metabolism.

   ~As soon as I wake up I like to palates,I use this one when I am in a hurry:

   ~And I have a book that comes with a DVD called 15 Minute Total Body workout for Teens..or something like that(it’s at my dads house right now,so I can’t really find out what the name is)

   ~Some other ways to exercise is to ride your bike,jog,or walk your dog(if you don’t have one ask your neighbours if you could walk theres).

   ~Skin care is very important to!,I recommend natural cleanser (Cetaphil, Purpose, Kiehls, and Desert Essence all are great),once a week give your self a nice steam facial which helps release toxins and opens pores,then use a mask I like Ecco Bella’s Dark Chocolate Face Mask or you can just use eggs (cheap and they work really really well!),also a nice gentle exfoliant such as Earth Science Gentle Apricot Scrub,or baking soda.For a moisterizer use jojoba oil for oily skin and I recommend a cream moisterizer for dry such as Desert Essence Daily Essential Facial Moisturizer.

   ~Remember to relax take a break once in a while (including makeup!),give your self a spa day!,or take a nice walk.

   ~Try not to wear makeup to much I only wear makeup for special events,I like Urban Decay’s vegan makeup.

   ~For a natural spot treatment try tea tree oil or honey mixed with nutmeg.

   ~Try getting a sunscreen that’s at-least SPF 15 and up!.

   ~And remember keep your chin up nothing is more beautiful then confidence!.

   ~Avoid consuming too much dairy, and if you absolutely must have it, try to have organic milk and cheese that haven’t been pumped up with as many toxins. The hormones from a cow will be passed on to you when you drink its milk, and they can interfere with your own hormones

   ~Try to cut out on to many carbs,carbs turn into sugar resulting to acne.

   ~In short
   ~Drink water .
   ~Eat healthy.
   ~Use a natural cleanser(since you didn’t say your skin type I’ll just recamend one for oily and one for dry) such as Kiehl’s Washable Cleansing Milk (dry) or Dessert Essence’s
   Thoroughly Clean Face Wash (oily).
   ~Use a good mosterizer such as jojoba oil (oily) or Suki’s pure facial moisture – nourishing (dry).
   ~ Use a good mask such as Ecco Bella’s Dark Chocolate Face Mask once a week (all skin types).

   I know what you mean.

   What you need to do is change your diet.
   Dont eat fatty foods like chocolate and all that, burgers.

   start eating fruit and veg more – it helps trust.

   Drink Green tea, sometimes you can rub the tea bag over acne and it helps they say, didnt for me tho, just drink it.

   wash your face at least 2 times a day with a non perfume soap like "simple"

   drinking hot lemon drink helps a bit

   good luck thats all I can think of, do them all and Im sure youll be fine

   Sames. Sucks,doesnt it?. Try dermatalogica,ive been using that and its starting to ease up. Most of all,if you use makeup,dont just use a makeup wipe,because that wont get all of the makeup of,and that will atribute to your acne. Use simple soap,its really good for sensitive and acne affected skin ;)

   follow up with your dermatologist or gyn. discuss how much your health is really worth with your parents. without knowing the cause of the acne, you’ll never be able to treat it effectively.

   Here is a simple tip that you can use to reduce your acne scars and pigmentation.

   The Oil Cleansing Method
   What you will need:
   Warm Water
   Cold Water
   Clean Towels
   Castor Oil
   Olive Oil

   The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface.

   You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute.

   Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel.

   1) Since your body is made of about 70% water, it’s only natural to assume drinking plenty of water will have a great effect on not only your body, but your skin. You get out what you put in, if you continue to drink sodas filled with sugars, dyes, and acid, chances are your acne won’t be getting better any time soon. Reduce the amount of sodas and sugary drinks you consume and increase your water intake. This step alone will produce amazing results in 1 day!

   * The body becomes extremely dehydrated while you sleep. Try drinking a tall glass of water every night before bed.

   2) Another great drink for you in green tea. Green tea is chocked full of antioxidants that fight acne causing bacteria. There are plenty of other fruit drinks that are high in antioxidants, such as most natural berry juices.

   3) There are theories all over the Internet that say foods you eat have are not directly correlated to acne severity. With that being said, I stopped eating greasy foods and combined with the rest of the steps I’m explaining my acne is completely gone. So take this step or leave it, but it certainly can’t hurt!

   4) Speaking of healthy diet. Eating green leafy vegetables is a great way to flush your system. Similar to water these types of foods naturally cleanse your body of toxins. And don’t forget to throw in plenty of those fruits high in antioxidants.

   5) Vitamin E is yours skins best friend. Vitamin E has healing properties that is essential for your skin. You have the option of taking vitamin supplements or making sure you use a non greasy facial lotion. I personally take a multi-vitamin that happens to include 100% daily value of the vitamin, and use a special lotion.

   6) You might find this hard to believe but relieving stress can actually help get rid of acne as well. High stress level have been know to tamper with the natural production of certain hormones. Over production of some hormones can adversely affect your sebum glands which produce the natural oil for your face.
