Best answer:
Answer by Bob
use blotting sheets
What do you think? Answer below!
Make sure you wash your face twice a day, so preferably morning and night. When washing your face, be sure to do the three step process:
1. Face wash! (I use Neutrogena)
2. Toner!
3. Face cream! (It’s better to use cream specifically meant for your face rather than any old body lotion)
Also, during the day, using blotting tissues is a really good way to get rid of the oil on your skin, it won’t really help with the breakouts but it’ll definitely help with the oil.
If you really wanted to, you could use cover up and concealer and if you already do, you could possibly carry that around with you. (although this type of face make up is actually quite bad for your skin unless you look for the natural ones made of minerals rather than the fancy brand names)
The most important thing to beyond all of this is to drink water. Usually when a person breaks out or their skin becomes oily it is actually just one form of dehydration. Drinking water will clean the inside of your body of any chemicals as if you were washing dirt off your hands.
Hope this helps 🙂
There are many ways to cure acne. You have to experiment to find what is best for you. Everyone is different, so don’t give up! 🙂
The BEST treatment is prevention! My answer is already pretty long, so here is a good link(:

I always wash my pillow cases every week or so. It really helps!
Avoid putting things on your face with a scent, such as hand lotion. It wil most likely cause more breakouts.
“Non-comedogenic” products are best for your skin. Non-comedogenic simply means they will not make your face break out more. They won’t have a scent or any other harmful ingredients.
You can’t go wrong with washing your face…
Wash your face twice a day, with the hottest water you can stand. Hot water will open those pores for a much more thorough clean. Rinse with cold water to close those pores back aswell!
Now when you are buying face wash.. You will notice there are two main active ingredients to treat acne.
– Salicylic Acid
– Benzoyl Peroxide
Both are very effective treatments. When used together they can be even better. Just make sure to keep your skin moisturized, they will dry your face quickly.
Salicylic Acid – Works by causing the cells of the epidermis to shed properly. This prevents pores from being clogged. The acid is also known to break down black heads as well as whiteheads. It also allows your skin to absorb more benzoyl peroxide.
Benzoyl Peroxide – Removes dead skins cells and fights bacteria. When used correctly, it can also reduce redness. Probably the most effective by far.
Here are some other options if you want to experiment with at-home methods…

I prefer to use natural products myself. Tea Tree oil has been proven to work as well as Benzoyl Peroxide with less side effects. Although it takes longer to show results. It isn’t for everyone!
I’ve started using a witch hazel toner. I love this stuff. It works very well to reduce irritation and cleanse skin, for a great price. Here is a link for witch hazel uses and benefits..

Some research suggests vitamins such as A and all of the B Vitamins help with acne. Here’s the link for that.. http://goo.gl/rnCk1
Like I said before, everyone is different, so give everything a try! Here is a wiki article, for extra info!

Rubbing Alcohol… Will fight bacteria that cause acne. But alcohol will deffinatly dry that face fast, and potentially cause redness.
* This can actually make acne worse if you dry out your skin… Use in moderation and moisturize often.
To even skin tone and also fight acne I use an Alpha Hydroxy Acid lotion at 10% strength, 3 times a week. It also helps with wrinkles and scars(:
A healthy diet is also very helpful.. But come on, we all know that isn’t easy. Here’s a link for tips on dieting to improve skin. http://www.m.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/features/diet-and-skin
Moisturizing is VERY important for a healthy face. It will prevent a lot of dryness. When you get dryness and cracks in the skin, you are just asking for more acne.
Always remember to use non-comedogenic products.
* If you don’t moisturize, your face will become oily, making you want to touch and wipe your face, spreading bacteria and other crap into those pore! Plus oil is more likely to attract dirt and dust.
Finally, NEVER touch your face. It’s probably the worse thing you can do. Besides popping your pimples… If you pop them, it will make them spread, leave scars, or even get infected. I don’t advise popping them… But if you really must… Do it the right way! Here is a wiki article.. http://m.wikihow.com/Pop-a-Pimple
Remember not to be discouraged. Everyone gets acne. It’s normal. You just have to experiment to find out how YOU can control yours. Good luck 🙂

I would suggest you try using Jojoba Oil as it is almost identical organically-speaking to sebum, which is the natural oil produced by your skin. As well as being a great natural moisturizer it can also help with acne, Jojoba Oil penetrates into the skin without clogging pores and is suitable for all skin types it contains vitamin E and antioxidants which are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin.
Studies on jojoba oil show that it has the ability to prevent skin from becoming too oily. This is due to the fact that putting jojoba oil on our skin can trick our cells into thinking they have produced enough oil.
Remove any surface dirt from your skin, then put just a few drops of jojoba oil into your hand and rub it into your skin when you start to work jojoba oil into the skin, the oil penetrates into the pores. As jojoba closely resembles your skin’s own oil, moisturizing with jojoba oil sends the message to your pores to stop overproducing the sebum that causing the oily skin.
Jojoba oil also helps with acne scarring, with regular application acne scars and other skin conditions can be lessened and in many cases healed completely.
For the acne spotspimples:-
Tea Tree Essential oil it has great on acne as it has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Simply put a couple of drops on a cotton bud and dot onto each spot. Don’t use it over your entire face as it can irritate the skin for some people.
Lavender Essential oil has well known antifungal and antiseptic properties and is widely used in treating acne. For that stubborn pimples lavender can be applied neat using a cotton bud or pad. Redness, swelling and irritation will be dramatically reduced.
The Lavender and tea tree if applying to larger areas, should be used in dilution for larger areas, I would recommend between 10-20 drops of essential oil to 50ml of jojoba oil.
Hope this helps!
Niacinamide face cleansing pads are an effective and simple way to keep acne away. Just place a pad on the pimple and watch it fade away. Lavender Oil helps prevent skin drying. Niacinamide also helps diminish skin-hyperpigmentation (acne scars)
Niacinamide pads are also known as Vitamin B3 pads or Nicotinamide pads. Works on body acne too.
Give them a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.
