How do I get rid of bad acne?

how do you get rid of acne. im 13 and people always ask me why I wear so much make up and I tell them, but I heard it just makes the acne worse. I cant just not wear any though. and like in the summer its gross if I wear bathing suits or tank tops because I have kinda bad back and chest acne too. people say its really gross and I just want to get rid of itt. =/
what do I do??

Well for starters wash your face with STRONG acne medication.
In the morning get a bowl of boiling water and hold your face over it for five minutes to open up you pores.
Then wash your face. Rinse with real cold water to then close your pores.
Finish off with an oil-free moisturizer.
You have to stick with it for a long time you can't get lazy or all you hard work won't be worth a thing.
For your bacne take two showers a day and keep your sheets clean wash them every couple days.

girl das wats causing it to be worser if you want to pu make up just use eyeliner lipgloss are lipstick masscara and eyeshadow nun else it does mess up yo face and dont ever pop your pimples it will get messed up and stain on yo face foeva and also tell yo doctor fo sum cream

see a dermatologist. they have meds for that.

Have you tried Proactiv? They have stuff for your bacne too... it really does work and is not that expensive, like $20 a month for the face stuff!

Here's a couple of things that improve acne drastically,.. Drink tons of water, water is amazing for your skin especially for people with acne problems, so make sure to get your 8-10 cups a day. Second, excercise hate to say it but excersice releases hormones that can improve your skin's conditions, and thirdly try products that don't dry your skin and probide moisture and have some base form of acid. I hope your acne clears up.

Try getting make up that doesn't clog pores.. avoid cover up.. it sucks I think cover up is great but it's possibly making your break outs worse.

STOP WEARING MAKEUP.
Absolutely NO concealer, but a tiny tiny bit of powder is ok.

Drink lots of water.
DON'T touch your face. Your hands are dirty, and dirt and oil are what causes acne.
Use an astringent night and morning on your face.

If it doesn't improve, or if it's really REALLY bad, see a dermatologist or try Proactiv--that stuff worked wonders for me.

I have bad acne to and I use proactiv. it really works for me. If you want to wear a foundation pick a water based foundation that is oil free and wont clog your pores. Mineral make up is the best. I use bare minerals and makes your skin look great and it is also really good for if you have acne. Also USE A MOISTURIZER. If you have acne you HAVE to moisturize your skin! And if you excerise or play a sport wash your face right after so your sweat wont cause you to break out. And drink lots of water and yah dont touch your face. Dont pop your pimples either. When you pop a pimple the pus just pops out and spreads into your surrounding pores and causes more acne. And when you find a face wash that starts to work, stick with it! dont keep changing face washes, but if you cant find one that works go to your doctor.

Well, hope this helps

Ummm proactiv is the best but its too expensive and you have to orrder it theres this stuff called acnefree that you can get at drugstores it costs less and works just as well...Good luck.

I tried proactive and it doesn't work!!!

I am exactly like you Hitsmex. Im 13 too. I wear cover up to try to discize my pimples! It doesn't work! Alll my friends say why do you use so much make up or why are you wearing make up? I either say im not wearing it or just admit it! Last year I heard a popular girl say ... Have you sceen (my Name's) face! she is wearing so much make up! I have some tips that have worked for me:

I put Ziana all on my face and dab spots with Clean and Clear benzol peroze at night.

In the morning I mosterize my face and put Lancome (some thing like that) cover up on. Only on the pimples. I have tried to put cover up on my whole face but it makes me look like a clown!

Oh and when you wear a swimsuit wear your hair down it all ways helps me. what ever you do dont feel alown. I am just like you. There is still hope! Im sure your beautiful .

By the way you just cant stop using make up!!!

I need big help my face looks like sh*t!!!

For some people makeup DOES NOT make acne worse.
if you have sensitive skin
you should t wear it a lot if your going out to a fancy place yea whatever go ahead. not too much.
wash your face every night NOT every morning and night BECAUSE
if you wash at night your face will be clean, if you wash it in the morning too it will dry out your face causing you to break out more.
stress is also a big factor. eat and drink healthy and you will look and feel better in no time.

I have this problem 2,especially with the back and chest thing

Strong cleaners will actually make acne worse because they take so much oil out of your skin that your body automatically produces MORE oil, making it worse. What you need to do it buy a gentle cleanser and moisturize with a oil-free lotion.

Ok right recently I found this cream that's supposed to moisturise your skin and all but I actually found it GREAT for getting rid of spots AND it leaves your skin nice and silky soft! lol Also it seems to be quite good at getting rid of the scars left from spots. It's called aqueous cream and you can buy it from most pharmisists and some supermarkets will have it. Also you can use it all over your body so that's your back and chest sorted too! And dont worry-before this I had spots on my back and chest too! I think it's actually quite common!
Hope this helped hunny! x

im just like you but im 11,what I do is I take a pill every morning and night that my dermi gave me and I wash me face every morning and when I come in from playing/ecsersizing outside.I also use a cream called duac(also from dermi).I have really long hair so I keep it down when im in school to hide acne on the sides of my face and my back when im swimming which I do a lot.I wear a little makeup at school and when I go out to dinner with my family.over summer break I keep my hair up with a head band and put it in a pony tail to keep it out of my face and use a cream called retina.its really strong and can burn/turn your face red if you use to much,so I only use it once or twice a week on other days my mom uses it for her face.it comes from both sides of my family so I got it really bad.if you have any more questions or just want to talk e-mail me at Fun mail me.
