   After washing the affected areas, dab some rubbing alcohol on the zits. Avoid greasy food, too. You can make your own home made facial sauna by dipping your face over the sink and put a towel over your head and back and shoulders, while letting hot water run down the drain or even letting the water fill up in the sink. The towel will help to keep the steam from escaping and it will open your pores. If you get too hot or uncomfortable, stop doing this or else add a bit of cold water to the flow. After the sauna, splash your face with cold water to close the pores, then put a dab of rubbing alcohol over your zits. Make sure your hands are washed a lot during the day. Bacteria transfers from your hands to whatever you touch, which is usually your nose, cheeks and eyes. Good luck.

   im going into grade 9 too…………..

   to cleaning acne i would use neutrogena
   its called: oil-free acne stress control (its a power-cream wash but the scrub works fine too)

   its real good….comes in a green and orange tube
   smells like cucmber and green tea

   but a good diet would help too.drink lots of water and eat berries

   so i’m in the same boat as you. i’m going into 9th grade sept 8th and i have acne but mines really starting to clear up. Theres really no magical way to get rid of it. sorry i know thats not what you wanted to hear. but i use cliniques line of face wash and it works great. I’ll admit its a little expensive but totally worth it! you can just go to your local clinique and they can probably help you find which face wash is right for you. I dont know any quick fixes but clinique face wash is good for long term.

   Really, there aren’t any quick fixes, even Accutane (the most powerful acne drug out there) takes a couple of months to work.

   You can probably lessen the problem and get rid of the big ones, you can use neosporin and a band aid over night (that works wonders). Aspirin masks are also great (as long as you don’t scrub too hard).

   Quick fixes dont exits.
   Currently every night before i go to bed i put a paste toothpaste on my acne and wash it off in the morning. I use prescription differen and clean and clear facial scrub.
   Im on a diet where i try to stay away from extremely greasy foods like pizza, burgers, etc.
   I drink ALOT of tea and water.
   I wash my face before i go to bed and when i wake up.

   And my face is mostly clean. :D
   for body acne i recommend cleaning with Dove soap.

   Okay, I’m going into 9th grade to in September and have the same problem! First thing, get a face wash, face scrub, face toner, and face moisturizer. Olay has good face wash, scrubs, toners, and moisturizers that help acne. Along with all of that stuff, get some acne medication. I got some from my doctor called Differin, works great. But you could also buy some from your local drug store, if you don’t have time to stop by your doctors. Clearasil makes a good acne medication cream, and you can buy it from your local drug store, but for some people it burns their skin. Other acne products you can try are Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, and Biore. I hope I helped! I know how much acne sucks! Lol. :)

   Don’t eat a lot of sugar stuff..like sour candies or anything with a lot of sugar all the time. And drink tons of water, atleast 2 bottles a day. It will flush out all the bad stuff in your body, huydrate your skin, face, and even your lips.. also don’t over-wash your face (no more than twice a day).

   As far as your body acne goes, don’t wear your shirts/clothes too tight..because that’s how a lot of it comes about..by wearing really tight clothing.
   If your back acne (also known as bacne) is really bad you can try this..http://www.murad.com/clarifyingbodyspray.jsp?wm_lpID=8847284&wm_ctID=57&wm_kwID=3201795&wm_mtID=3&wm_content=0&wm_g_crID=2498717695&wm_g_kw=get+rid+of+backne&wm_g_pcmt=&wm_g_cnt=0&gclid=CJTHg66cwJwCFQO2sgodEzyyng&wm_defaultURL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.murad.com%2fclarifyingbodyspray.jsp&wm_kw=get+rid+of+backne&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=get+rid+of+backne&utm_campaign=clarifying+body+spray

   it’s a bit on the pricy side but it works.
   It sounds like your stuff is pretty bad with how it’s all over..you should try making an appointment with your local dermatologist.

    This works in 2-5 days and it actually works. Your local wallgreens or family dollar has it! Its called Noxema. Look it up! it works!
