You can take certain vitamins and certain things to help your skin, I have something at home called DermaMed nutrition for troubled skin which is for acne
Something else that can help acne is diet change: cut down the oils and sugars to zero if possible or a bare minimum (so junk food in general) and start eating more fruits and vegetables and consumes lots of antioxidants (good health in general!)
Also avoid eating lots of take out foods and microwaveable or frozen foods with lots of preservatives, READ THE INGREDIENTS, if you are unsure of those ingredients with long names do some research and be amazed at how unhealthy soft drinks are (example: sodium benzoate, which is a preservative, has been correlated with ADHD and generally is not good for your brain!)

1) Get a used tea bag
2) Rip open the tea bag and put some of the the used tea leaves in a dish (maybe use a bottle top or a lid).
3) Mix it with a bit of honey (if you don't have honey, you can use water or moisturizer)
4) Wash your face with water, then rub and scrub your face with the tea and honey (or water) for at least 5 minutes all over, using just the tips of your fingers gently and but not to soft.
5) Let it sit for at least 5 minutes like a mask.
6) Wash it off with water.
(This will open up your pores, especially with the antioxidants in the tea leaves, and moisture of the honey or water)
Washing with soap and water twice a day is the simplest, but if that don't work you can try this!!!!!!

"Acne, and all bacteria, I pluck you up by your roots and I cast you out to sea, amen."
Repeat it every day, knowing that you are righteous by faith in Christ.

If you don't have a facial regiment already, I would adopt one -- cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize. If you know you're going to be in the sun, you can limit the exfoliating to a few times a week, so that you don't get sunburned.
Tea tree oil is supposed to be a natural remedy for acne. I actually use a face wash that has tea tree oil in it anyway:
Make sure you drink water regularly...staying hydrated is important for healthy skin.
Also, keep your hands off your face. For real.

Castor Oil is antifungal and antibacterial. It will also clean your face, but It is a very heavy oil and needs to be thinned.
In a pretty jar put in castor oil and another good face oil such as olive oil or grapeseed oil 50/50.
Add a few drops of tea tree oil and lemongrass oil.
Pour a bit in your palm and rub into your face well with your fingertips. This will dissolve the old makeup and grime.
Wet a washcloth with water as hot as you can, and use it to steam your face.
use the washcloth to gently remove the oil and grime.
Use apple cider vinegar on a cotton pad as a toner.

I don't have acne but I do have psoriasis and what I have found that helps me out is pine tar soap. The smell isn't the most amazing thing in the world but for a little relief I think it's well worth it. Doing little things such as ensuring you are eating right and drinking a lot of water is a good first step. If you have any questions, you can PM me!

If you don't want to spend the money on Nutribiotic's Skin Cleanser here are a few helps.
1. Drink tons of water and cut back on high-fat foods like chocolate. This will decrease your oil productions
2. Keep your hands and hair away from your face and keep your hair washed.
3. Change your pillowcase often
4. Wash your face at least once in the morning and at night with a mild soap and cover your face will a cold rag after you are done. This will help constrict the pores.
5. Dab at pimples with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. This will dry them out. This is especially advantageous when the pimples are first appearing.
Some also say that consuming more olive oil will give you a better complexion

I would love to hear from anyone who tries the antibacterial properties of castor oil on acne. I don't have acne, it is just that my skin is very, very elderly. This method of cleansing has rejuvenated my skin. Soaking my toes nails that had a fungus that made them thick and ugly has killed the fungus, when doctors said only dangerous drugs could do that. I know caster oil can do these things, but I would love to know if it can help with acne.
On the net it says that clean fresh oil can dissolve old oil and clean even oily skin. Some say it is the best way to clean it, and others say to buy their products instead. They all say that cleaning the oil from oily skin does not stop it from producing more oil. It seems to be generally agreed that castor oil is the best oil type cleanser, and that it has both anti bacterial and anti fungal properties.
I would love to know if it can actually stop acne like it says it can.

Try PROSECEA. Do some research on it. It's amazing. You can get it at CVS. It's a small tube for like 10 bucks, but it goes a long way. Just a tiny bit clears up your skin. Proactive has nothing on it. It's the sulfur ingredient I do believe. You could also try sulfur soap.
Othern than that, idk lol I use apple cider vinegar as an astringent sometimes.

Have you tried a plane bar of Dove or Dial soap?
(there is a possibility that the first few times you use it on your face, it could dry your skin out)

My son used to suffer from it. He stopped taking the expensive meds. He started going to the gym, got into juicing fruits and vegetables, avoided desserts or any types of sweets and refrained from eating any type of carbohydrates. The acne never came back and now has a very healthy clear skin. He is a very happy young man now.
I also advised him never to touch his face with his hands and to change his pillowcase several times during the week.

I've struggled with acne over the years. Praise God, my current routine is really working.
Night time routine
How to make the ORGANIC apple cider vinegar and Epsom salt toner:
I use the apple cider vinegar cap. I pour about 1/4 apple cinder vinegar into the cap. I put a pinch of Epsom salt into it. You don't need a lot - just a few grains of salt. Then, add water filling the cap up. Using a cotton ball, saturate your face with the ACV and Epsom salt toner and leave it on overnight.
Epsom salt is good for inflammation. It will also cause your skin to peel gently. The acne will peel away slowly revealing healthier, fresher skin.
ACV is rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids. It also kills bacteria.
Sulfur ointment is good for detoxing the skin and cleansing the pores of oil, bacteria and blockages.
Warning: Initially, break outs can get worse for the first 3 months because these ingredients will cause your skin to detox and purge. It's going to bring up all those impurities and blockages and expel them through your skin. It's called a "healing crisis." You are on the way to better skin, if you can preserve through the healing crisis. Afterwards, things will balance out, and the acne really clears up. Praise God! At least, that's what happened for me.
Please google, read and research sulfur, apple cider vinegar and Epsom salt for acne and "healing crisis."
Diet is also another important factor. Make sure you drink enough water and get enough fiber in your diet, so that your bodily systems won't be as likely to detox through your skin.
Best wishes. I pray that God heals your skin.
- I use sulfur soap to wash my face morning and night. I only use baby wipes (the ones made for sensitive skin) to wash my face because they are sterile.
- After I wash my face in the morning, I apply sulfur ointment. I leave it on anywhere from 10 - 30 mins. depending on how much time I have.
- After I rinse the sulfur ointment off, I apply proactiv green tea moisturizer.

I agree with the part about sulfur and sulfur soap. I use those myself, and I can attest to it's effectiveness.

I also advised him never to touch his face with his hands and to change his pillowcase several times during the week.
I agree with changing the pillowcases frequently. I use a fresh pillowcase just about every night.
