Is this a good morning routine?

Well, Ive never really had to do any acne treatments because i never really broke out at all and i really kept myself clean. Well surprisingly now im breaking out in whiteheads and small pimples. im like NO! im also trying to lose about 15 pounds that i gained on my vacation. Those buffets sure get ya! hahaha. well heres what im planning to do:
Wake up at 6 am go on elliptical for 20 minutes.
Take a 10 minute shower. Use Noxzema Deep Lathering Cleanser in shower (ive always used this)
I use Hydrating Teatree Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. I also deep condition with Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Masque once every two weeks. I use a loofah to exfoliate my skin, does that work? So if im really breaking out i use my proactiv renewing cleanser on the spots with most zits. Then i get out and comb my hair and then apply Biosilk Silk Treatment to my damp hair. I then use my stridex acne pads. Then 3 times a week i moisturize with either aveeno clear complextion moisterizer or proactiv oil free moisturizer with spf 15. Then i get dressed, let my hair air dry, and eat a fruit for breakfast. When my hair is dry, i straighten it. I put it in layers and use my Pantene Shine and Heat protection spray on each layer. Either i straighten it or curl or just leave it or do something lol. After that im pretty much done and just apply my usual every day makeup. I get my stuff together and then go on the computer or something and then leave for work. I dont eat lunch all day other than maybe a water, juice, and a granola bar or something. Then i get home and eat a nice healthy dinner. Sounds good? My coworker who i am very close to pointed out that i was getting a few pimples and i freaked. (we are really good friends lol) im glad she pointed it out. But what i noticed by myself is that i went for a good 120 to 145 in 8 days at my resort! CRAZY!!! lol so thanks in advance plz helP!

How do you treat acne spots?

I have deep acne spots on the back of my shoulders and it is from my detangler and heat protectant after my shower. Now I know how it started I wear a tshirt when I do my hair and not a little undershirt

In general though, does anyone know how to fade those ugly spots. Is there a loofah, a treatment to fade them?

How to get rid of bacne fast!? (back acne)?

My grad is coming up in June and i NEED to have an acne free back by then, so i can wear my dress.
I have pretty severe acne, but not cystic. It's on my shoulders, lower back, upper back, and neck. I hate it. It's disgusting and no one else has it! Facts: I shower everyday, i use head&shoulders shampoo, i dont condition my hair, i use a scrub and a loofah on my back, and i use a spot treatment on horrible spots. I can't wear a tank top let alone a friggin t-shirt! PLEASE HELP ME!!
I'm looking for home remedy type of cures that will get rid of my bacne for good within atleast a month or less! (: Don't just respond telling me how to prevent, i would like a cure too! And don't say accutane, proactiv, murad, etc. Any miracle cures that worked for you!? PLEASEEE do tell! :D

Acne on chest and back — what should I be using?

I use face wash on my chest for acne there (it's mild -- tiny whiteheads and red bumps), but for my back I usually either just scrub with something like St. Ives facial scrubs or I scrub with a loofah and my regular bodywash. My bacne is worse; large, red, painful bumps. How can I eliminate both of these? I shower daily and scrub at least every other day.
