Help, I feel like a 12 year old... who just hit puberty!!

Does anyone else have horrible acne? It is driving me nuts, and I am not sure what is safe to use. I have never had this problem, even as a young teen.

Thanks

Mine is getting pretty bad too. I'm trying to stick with natural or known safe remedies but with minimal luck. Last night I tried toothpaste on one spot and it did go down by morning.

I'm going to rub toothpaste all over my face....but seriously, good idea!

I'm in the same boat one thing to keep in mind: wash your pillow case often to get the oils out.

Totally agree!!! I also use a sulphur wash and the Umbrian Clay Bar from Sephora. Also make sure you're drinking enough water, can make all the difference.

Baking soda is also great for acne.ake it into a paste and put it on the spot before bed and it'll have gone down by the morning.

Mine was terrible...a nightmare. One day it just stopped...I hate to say but I think its harmones and you get it or you dont.
I use tea tree oil though...diluted.

I'm going to try that baking soda idea, I've never heard of that! My neck is totally broken out and disgusting, like a puberty striken boy who just started shaving.

I use the Belli skin care line from Ulta and I love it.

I second this! It's a bit pricy, but totally with it. I bought it a couple weeks ago and my skin has gotten more oily (thanks hormones!), but I barely break out.

I bought it on amazon. About $20 but the bottle will last you a long time.

Mine has been bad! I am someone who never has breakouts, so I have ha to do some serious skin care shopping!

Ladies at the beginning mine was bad I used proactive and a clean and clear scrub and got my face to clear up now everytime I get in the shower I use a st Ives facial cleaner does wonders only thing I am having issues with now is my chest and back !!
