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!

Back acne problems, any tips?

I've noticed throughout the years that when my hair is long, i breakout on my back with acne and blackheads. But, when my hair is short and doesn't touch my back, it's all clear. So, I know the problem is definitely my hair. But, it's not at all oily and I wash it with salon shampoo and conditioner. Should I see the dermatologist about this? any tips? PS. i love my long hair and will not cut if just for this problem.

How can I get rid of acne and blackheads that just don’t disappear?

I've had acne and blackheads for a really long time now, I think for about 3-4 years. I've tried the Clean and Clear line (I think that's what it's called) and a lot of the clearasil products. None of it is helping. I live in England, so any products you refer me to, must be obtainable in England, preferably in Boots.

Thanks,
TJ.
My hair is fairly long, I wash my hair once a day (shampoo and conditioner). My hair feels kind of unsmooth (if that's a word) when I don't condition.. Also, use soap for my hair?

Can you please help me with my severe acne!?

It's worse now than it has EVER been in my whole life. I used to complain when I had like ten pimples, but now I wish I could go back in time to have that! Many teenagers complain about having one single zit, but I would give everything to just have that! I'm in 12th grade, and I've had acne since the beginning of 7th grade. I've tried so many facial cleansers, topical treatments, and I've been to the dermatologist a numeral of times. I've been on three different acne treatments by the dermatologist so far. All of them work at first, but I guess when my face becomes 'immune' to it; it stops working.. which is about after a month or two. Right now I'm on the ointment ziana plus the pill solodyn. I've been on erythromycin-benzoyl peroxide topical gel, and tazorac cream. Yes, I've already tried the Pro-Activ and Clean&Clear system. I don't wear any make-up powder or foundation. I've changed my detergent, I wash all my blankets, changed my shampoo and conditioner, but nothing seems to help. I tried that trick of using toothpaste, alchohol, and many more! I'm desperate right now, and I refuse to use accutane because of the side effects. Please help me! :(

Here's my acne right now;

i DON'T THiNK iT'LL EVER GO AWAY :(

If you read the whole thing, you would've seen I already used that Clean&Clear system :( I had an allergic reaction to it that made my face swell up like a balloon!
Also, you would've read that I used Pro-Activ! Gawh; lol.. but thanks for answering people :)
