    Just stop using all of that gunk and keep your skin clean by washing morning and night.

    I guess you have had all the information we can give you on getting rid of facial acne.

    To EVERYONE :)

    Hehe, I think it has been a week. Right now I think my acne is slowly improving... im washing my face with the clean and clear cleanser, the toner. Then putting on tea tree antispetic cream on top of it to shrink the pimples. Then sometimes when it gets red I'm just using aloe vera gel from Thursday plantation.(if your from aus)

    So overall.. my pimples on my forehead ARE flattening and are less red. I am watching my diet although I am havint the occasional orange cake. *my favourite*

    Thanks so much! You guys are AMAZING xx

    YOU are amazing for following through on a good program. Plus, your stress level is lower now too. Let us know in the future, maybe in another week.

(Longjin tea) Im finding some of my acne is turning into like spots but then the rest is liket urning into whiteheads?? And especaillyw hen I wash it in the morning like cleansing.. it gets so red and there's dry skin everywhere.
    Im scared to mousitrize it because it might block the pores.

    Cover your face with a warm, damp washcloth. When it cools, put it under warm water again and wring it out, then put it over your face. Do this for about fifteen minutes or so several times a day. This will cause the whiteheads to break naturally and become little scabs and then heal. Also, take showers and let the warm water spray gently on your face. Never pick on pimples or try to pop them.

    It's hard to think about it now when clear skin is so important to you, but truly this won't last forever. As your hormones settle down, your face will clear up.

    Ok I will definitely try this. I heard excersising is good for blood flow and it gets rid of acne? Or HELPS
    It? Is that true? If I walk/jog everday for about half an hour do you think that will help acne? Also, I thought that COLD water was good for acne.. Ok so in the shower now I will put on warm water.
    I also have like a patch of just spots... because it used to be acne it someitmes gets really red. Do you think putting aloe vera gel on this will get rid of it? Is this like a scarr or something?

    Get a washcloth, get it wet with warm water, wring it out, lay it on your face. When it cools, put it under the warm water again and wring it out again, then lay it on your face. Do this for at least 15 minutes maybe three times a day.

    Chocolate cake? You ate chocolate cake? You were supposed to give that to meeeeeeeeeee.

    Wow! That sounds really good! Give it all time to heal, and keep doing what you're doing. Use the gel -- it's a natural healer.

    Don't be scared. That raises your stress level. Eat good foods and be happy. You do realize you are at that age where the smallest stress or all those hormones churning around can cause a new outbreak. If that happens, try to relax. Remind yourself this phase of your life will end.

    You are a sweet and charming young lady. It's the Taylor inside that counts, the kind and loving and polite Taylor that I've gotten to know. XXXOOO

    Aww thank you so much! :D But the aloe vera gel I have isn't actually MADE for acne I think on the packet it says "for minor cuts or burns"... so do you think I can still use it?
    And will it clear up by the end of summer!!

    THANKS xoxox
