Good plan for getting rid of acne?
okay so I am stuck with blackheads and redness due to post acne and a few small pimples. Will this plan work?
everyday morning wash face with dove moisturizing soap, and apply toner and moisturizer. At night rinse face with water.
On top of this..3 days a week use Neutrogena Blackhead Scrub (exfoliant) (do this after washing face, prior to toner/moisturzier)
Then like once a week or so in morning or night after face wash apply baking soda face mask or lemon juice toner (for redness).
Will this plan not be too much on my sensitve skin, get rid of blackheads, reduce redness/inflamation, and clear up my skin overall?
Thanks
Also..once a week before baking soda mask I was going to steam my face to open pores
Or should I also wash face with soap at night instead of just rinsing?
blackheads and Lemon Juice…does it really work?
i have horrible blackheads, most of them reside on my nose, and some on my chin....does lemon juice really help get ride of the blackheads, if it does then how, and how should i use them?

How can I get rid of my acne?
I've tried castor oil which did nothing.
I tried Neutrogena which only made my face feel really tight after I washed, but other than that it did nothing. I've tried Proactiv, which did nothing. Antiseptic ointment, toothpaste, and various spot treatments that contain sacyllic acid, sulfur, or benzol peroxide that I've tried did nothing but dry it out, causing it to scab over.
I tried a homemade aloe vera mask which got rid of tiny bumps and made my skin very soft, but it did nothing for the main acne. Ditto with things like honey, lemon juice, grapes,
My diet is pretty healthy, I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and whole wheat and avoid fast food, fried food, dairy products (I'm lactose-intolerant), red meat, excessively salty foods, sugary foods; I drink plenty of water (about five cups per day, and I don't drink anything else besides soy milk)
I don't exercise much except for PE and occasionally walking home, but I'm not sure if that's contributing to my acne?
I wear sunblock everyday (Neutrogena.) I ice my face after I shower. I swear I've done everything I can but it's still pretty bad - on the tops of my cheeks, a few by my chin, a few on my forehead (but mainly just my cheeks.) I don't wear make up at all.
My parents suggested that maybe I had been putting too many things on my face, I about three weeks ago I stopped using all products and masks, and only used a mild, unscented facial wash by Clinique once a day. It didn't work.
My friends say it could be my lack of sleep (I have an "A" period and get up earlier than the rest of them) but I've been trying to go to bed by nine o'clock by each night, while waking up at 6:30 - 7:00.
I'm currently using the Clinique 3-Step Acne Remedy, but just wondering if there's anything else I should try if this doesn't work. If not, what could be causing the acne? I'm a freshmen in high school; could it be stress? I also have a side swept fringe, but my hair isn't anywhere near my acne, so it can't be oil from my hair.
Thanks in advance.
I am Schnitz: I change my pillowcase every week and change the towels I wrap around it every other day. (This was the first thing my dad suggested to me a while back)
chloe: My mom won't let me go to a dermatologist just yet because she claims that my skin can get a lot worse, and that nothing is getting infected. :/

Honey and Lemon Juice used to help prevent breakouts?
I am 21 and lately I've been having random outbreaks due to stress and hormones, etc. I use a cleanser and acne fighting topical medicine every night, I also use acne preventing, hypoallergenic makeup and I am still breaking out. I have been reading that honey facials, and lemon juice applied topically or ingested can help improve acne. I used the honey facial twice already and I also have used the lemon juice ( I drank it). Will this help improve my skin? Anyone ever done this before?
