How can I completely clear my skin of acne before summer ends?
I'm 14 years old and my face is breaking out all over. I'm going into freshman year in high school and have been having acne breakouts since the sixth grade. I want to go in to my school year looking good with clear skin but I don't know how. Is there a way that I can completely clear my skin of acne before summer is over?

i used to have acne to! i hated it, and it was really embarrassing in school, but now its all gone, hooray! (im 13) Here are some homemade tips,that are cheaper and more effective. sorry that it’s long, but it’s all worth it!!
Some quick and easy homemade tips! This is NOT to long to read, trust me. It’s all helpful!
Cut down on stress as this acts as one of the strongest precursors of acne, Get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Sunshine triggers the production of Vitamin D which is essential to having healthy skin. Fresh air and sunshine will cut down on your stress levels and course oxygen through the skin, and Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Drink plenty of water!!!! And no chocolate! You should also drink about 8 cups (or 7) a day! It really helps!
Make yourself a home remedy. Mix cucumber juice with the juices of lettuce, carrot or alfalfa and apply to your face. Leave on for about 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly
Go out and buy yourself a tomato. Now crush it up and use its pulp by applying it directly on the acne. Let the pulp do its work for about a half an hour and then rinse it off with warm water. This is how to get rid of acne naturally without the expense.
Crush up some mint leaves to obtain their juices. Apply the juices on your face and leave on for a few minutes. You can also do the same with toothpaste
Avoid picking or squeezing your pimples
Mix water with baking soda until it turns into a paste, then gently massage it on your face for about 30 seconds. Rinse the scrub off thoroughly. This works as an exfoliate which removes dead skin and oil that causes acne. You can also use plain oatmeal for the same affect. Simply cook the oatmeal, let it cool, and apply to your face for a few minutes. The oatmeal absorbs the oil from your face
Apply some tea tree oil directly on your acne spots. The tea tree oil will kill bacteria because it works as a natural antiseptic.
Acne isn’t caused by dirt. In fact people with oily skin have cleaner skin than average because they wash it more often. But it’s a fact that washing too much can make acne worse because it makes the skin dry and sore. So, wash no more than twice a day, using mild soap and water.
I also found this awesome aspirin mask online, and it’s made with aspirin and honey. look it up! It’s amazing!!
ALso! VERY IMPORTANT: When washing your face, use COLD water!!! Do about 15-20 splashes! It makes your face look better! :)

Noxema facial cleanser in a blue jar works great!

Do you go to a dermatologist???
If so and nothings working and your face is absolutely HORIBLE then I guess acutaine is a good choice.
If you don’t know what acutaine is it’s a pill dermatologists give you thts like a huge steroid and it gets rid of all your acne.do some research.it might sound impossible but acutaine works very well.I ha HORIBLE acne and then I took it and was amazed!
You have to get your blood taken tho every month so they make sure you are not pregnant.
If it honestly that bad tho.
Other than that if you see a dermatologist or watever then talk to a specialist and tell them what you really need and that it’s not working. Good luck!

I have an AMAZING recipe! Works like a charm i do this ALL the time to get rid of MY acne. What you do is wash your face 2-3 times a day and right before bedtime put a spoonful of tea tree oil with 8 spoonfuls of water and with a cotton ball, dab on the acne. When you wake up, rinse. Do this 1-2 times a week. If its very severe, See a dermatologist!
HOPED THIS HELPED!!! :D

Yes there is, but how you do it honestly depends on how your face reacts to certain remedies, because not everybody is the same. The best way to clear your face is to wash it twice a day with whatever works. Try Clean and Clear, Clearasil, Proactive, and a few others if soap and water don’t do the trick (which, believe it or not, *will* clear acne). Wash it in the morning and scrub it at night. Your face can’t always be scrubbed harshly, because irritating it will cause more breakout. A few acne remedies include: Using organic apple cider vineger, or tooth paste as a spot treatment at night, making an eggwhite mask to remove blackheads, and biore strips to clean clogged pores. It also helps to not touch your face, but if you must pop your pimples, do it properly by watching this >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1gLgGVFeNI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
What you don’t want to do is pop your pimples while your face is greasy and your hands are covered in bacteria. You also don’t want to put on moisturizers with oil in them, because they clog your pores. If you have oily skin, use an alchohol-based wash, and a toner. If you have dry skin, use a cream-based wash with a light, oil-free moisturizer. Try adjusting your diet a bit, by eating less fattening foods, and work out (or at least take walks). Try to avoid stressful activities, because that also really makes your face breakout more often. When out in the heat, blot away whatever sweat or oil is on your face as often as possible.
This guy >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE-P173wRmE&feature=youtube_gdata_player also has some great advice for keeping summer acne breakouts at bay (and possibly gone forever)
Have a nice summer! :)

Healthy food like fruits and sallads and lots of clean & fresh water is very beneficial. Also you can wash you face at least 2 times a day and clean it with antibacterial napkins.
Make sure you find ideal cream for your skin too.

I’m a 16 year old girl and i used to have acne. Not a lot, but enough to make my skin look ugly. I bought Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Daily Scrub from WALMART. I use it in the shower every day and i now have ZERO acne! It works really well!
