HELP WITH ACNE PLEASE! 10 Points to best answer!?

I've been suffering with breakouts for 3 years now. Early this past October I'd get one or two pimples in between my boobs.. But as of November it started getting BAD! Now it's all red and broken out. Its appearing on my back a tiny bit. I'm scared I'm going to end up like the people who get on Accutane and just suffer so badly. I was pescribed an antibiotic but after stopping I heard the acne comes back even worse a month later in most cases! Not worth the risk!! I have been looking at different acne websites and I've taken not to different "cures" or "treatments." I was wondering if ths would work in helping defeat this horrible thing I have to suffer with..

Lots of vitamin b5
Washing with Dove cool moisture bar of soap
Drinking lots of warm water with lemon
Spot treatment of the acne in between my boobs with neospoirn
Cutting down on dairy products, sugar, soy, fried foods
Lots of tea

.. If I do all of this, will my acne heal quickly. I mean it's not HORRIBLE, it is pretty bad though. So what is your opinion. Any suggestions? Don't suggest Accutane! I am highly against it. Please guys help! I know it's gross xD But it is what it is and I just need to get rid of it. By the way I'm 17 and obviously a female.
Proactiv does not work at all. Truthfully if it worked then wouldn't they go out of business? Lol.
Talia! Oh jeeze! Such a good helpful site. I'm going to follow everything it says :) Very excited. Thank you very much!

what is the best NATURAL way to get rid of blackheads and acne for pre-teen? (facial masks)?

Hi. I have some blackheads on my face that I've been wanting to get rid of. I also have what I think may be pimples. For pimples (not so sure) I have about 6 on my forehead. What is the best treatment for this? I heard ice-ing it with an ice cube helps. I do not have any bangs. In fact, for the "pimples" they seem more like small dots resembling small pimples. How can I get rid of this?

Also, for the blackheads I would like a natural way to get rid of them. I am a 13 year old girl, and I don't want my parents to buy anything and I am not allowed to use my own money anywhere. I would like to know the best NATURAL system to get rid of blackheads and the small dots resembling a pimple.

I wash my face about 2-3 times a day with soap and warm water. I do not exfoliate my face that often, but only recently have I done that. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies and other healthy foods such as brown rice and fish, etc. I try to drink as much water as possible.

So please, again, tell me the best natural way to get rid of blackheads and the small dots on my forehead resembling tiny pimples or possibly acne.

Also, I don't want to use any creams really. they key here is natural for me

I also have these little acne bumps. I don't know if they are acne, but they resemble them. How can I get rid of this?

P.S. Please give full answers to both! Thanks~!
oh and yes I am mainly looking for homemade facial masks I would like a combination of masks and how long they would be on your face, thanks!

Honey and cinamon on acne?

Does this really work?
31. Make a paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. Repeat for two weeks, pimples will disappear forever

What is your skin care routine?

Just curious. (:

Here's mine in steps:

1. Get the pad for my Neutrogena Wave wet with HOT water. (hot water opens your pores)
2. Turn on my Wave and rub it in gently on my face up and outward. (up because gravity pulls your face down.)
3. Rinse my face with warm water.
4. Use Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Make Up Remover to remove all mascara and eyeliner.
5. Dampen my face with warm water
6. Use Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Gently rubbing it and up and outward.
7. Rinse it off with COLD water. (cold water closes pores to prevent stuff from getting in)
8. Use Oxy: Spot Treatment and dab on the cream on my zits.

My routine is somewhat effective, I'm just not consistent with it.
Please tell me yours. (:

Am I scrubbing right for my acne and blackheads?

For the blackheads, here are the directions. 1. wet face (I just used warm water) 2.scrub face 3.rinse thoroughly ( I splash cold water on my face a few times) 4. pat dry (which I do with my towel)

I also do the same exact thing for the acne. I splash my face with warm water, then I quickly apply the scrub or cleanser to my face. Then splash it with cold water and then pat it down.

Do you think I am doing this right? It has been 4 days since I first used the blackhead scrub and have been using it all 4 days. I havent noticed too much of a difference.

I use "Clean and Clear blackhead removal".
What the hell?

Sensitive skin; acne question?

I have very sensitive (and slightly oily) skin. I don't have bad acne, just about 4 zits on my chin. The only place I ever get acne is on my chin, and around my nostrils (those are the only places that are infected with blackheads as well). Whenever I use even a light acne facial cleansing wash, it dries out my skin, so I know it is quite sensitive.

So, I've been treating the 4 zits on my chin everyday with salysilic acid and benzoyl peroxide drugstore acne spot treatments. But they just keep on peeling off, revealing new ones directly underneath. It is very gross, and my mom says because of this, my I have stubborn acne.

So my question is, should I just be all natural, and stop treating my acne? Maybe all the harsh acne treatments are just irritating the zits and causing them to not go away. I'll still wash my face with warm water, but I won't put any acne medication or makeup or anything on the zits. Is this a good plan?

Does masks really work?

Honey Paste-Another easy and effective homemade acne treatment is to make a paste of honey with cinnamon and nutmeg. All you need is about one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and about half of it nutmeg powder. Add some honey to make enough paste to cover the inflammed area completely. Just lie down as honey may dribble down. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes and wash with luke warm water.

would this actually work to help acne???
