Hey! I know this has nothing to do with weight but i was wondering if you guys could help me, if not that's totally cool. So for awhile I've had two goals in live, to get rid of my acne and to loose weight in order. Here's the thing I can't loose weight until I get rid of my acne because that's the way I want to do it, and I decided that awhile ago and I really don't want to break that. Okay, so the point is has anyone here ever had acne? Because it's hell for me!! I've had it sence last year the summer before sixth grade. When I look at myself in the mirror i disgust myself, and sometimes like just last night I cry cause it won't go away. I've tried EVERYTHING literly...clinique,cetifil,murad,proactive,acne free,a bunch of nutrigena stuff, this one pill from the dermotologist. If someone knows anything that can help me please please post!! I'm really sad and I hate going places. Thanks and God Bless..LB

tie your hair back at night in a light pony tail, wash your face twice a day, keep your pillow cases clean, use alcohol astringent its like orange it burns as well after you wash your face, and use pore strips and faces masks every week or two mine went away ...
also you can do both goals at the same time it wont kill ya lol because its gonna take a while for the acne to go away and its gonna take a while for the weight to go away so why not just take on a challenge and do both at the same time.. also i forgot to add about the acne thing DRINK LOTS OF WATER i know thats a weight loss thing as well but the reason water helps is because the more you drink the more it clears out your system and cleans it along with making it smooth and soft i hope this helped..

well after all this helps out and your acne is gone, start using noxzema creme and oxy pads every day. it doesn't help really get RID of bad acne, but it prevents it. so use that once your skin heals!

also, stick w/ that for like a month if u try it, it wont work over night. o, and putting ice on ur face in the mornings can reduce the swelling from the zits, and that red eye treatment drops can take away some of the redness

id do both at once. and greasy foods rarely cause acne, unless u rub them on ur face, but fruits and veggies can help your skin be healthyier. to dry my face when its really oily, i was it with dove bar cleanser, than I take a cotton ball and put rubbing alcohol on it. it kills bacteria in your pores and dries out the oil. Id follow it with an oil free moistureizer like clean and clear, because it can REALLY dry your face out

HOW LONG DID YOU TRY PROACTIVE? BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE TO WORK BUT WHEN YOU DO YOUR FACE WILL BE LOOKING GREAT I TRYED PROACTIVE AND OT MADE ME GET EVEN MORE ZITS THEN AFTER USEING IT FOR A WHILE IT WORKED NOW MY ACNE IS GONE!!! ALSO THE CLEARISL WIPES WORK REALLY WELL AND DONT EAT CHOCLATE AND DRINK A LOT OF POP

i have great news! you can do both at once!!! here it is: eat lots of anti-axidant full fruits and veggies and drink a lot of water- don't over do it with junk, keep your hands clean- exersize and wash your face after to get rid of stuff on your face. do these things and you are on your way to an acne-free and healthy thin body!
