I suffered from acne for years until I stopped using products, since they obviously didn't work for me, and instead lightly rinsed my face off in the shower for 10 seconds each day. It still works, my skin is soft and healthy, but I still get ingrown hairs on my face since I still have a little bit of peach fuzz. I feel much healthier and I don't have overly dry skin or overly oily skin. However, it only worked on my face and not my back and shoulders, so I still wash those parts of my body. I also noticed that a lot of it had to do with my hair, as mine gets pretty greasy while I sleep, but my new, and rather simple, routine also prevented that from being a big problem. At first it kinda sucks and it did take a while for it to kick in, maybe a few months, and I break out a little bit every couple months for like a week but overall it worked wonders for me. This is also coming from a roofer who basically works in a pile of dirt and glass shards all day. I recommend trying it if you're willing to take that risk. |

I know people who solved their acne problem just by changing pillow cases every 3-4 days, you could try this in tandem with what you are already doing, I never really had an acne problem so I couldn't really suggest anything besides this Sent from my LG-K550 using Tapatalk |

TonyMoly sheet masks are pretty nice. They sell them on Amazon, and in-store at shops like Ulta/Sephora/Urban Outfitters. It's better imo to buy them online cause they're only like $1 per sheet(10 face masks for $10 on Amazon). But if you don't want to buy the full pack, you can just go to the mall, and get them for $3 per sheet. You could also make a homemade acne scrub(there's tutorials on youtube) if you feel that your face is dry.. I don't have acne but my face gets dry during the winter, so exfoliating it once a week w/ a face scrub helps hydrate my face! As for body lotion, I'm not sure how to help you on the lotion selection b/c I feel like lotion is just personal preference and so far, I've liked most lotions I've used but you could try Neutrogena's Norwegian formula moisture wrap lotion. The lotion is sold at Walmart/Target if you live in the USA, and it keeps your skin pretty moisturized lol. |

I'm not sure how bad your acne is, but if its absolutely horrible the only thing you'll be able to do to get it cleaned up is go to an dermatologist. I had a friend in highschool whose face was just covered in acne, the really horrible kind that really just looked like one big rash, and he'd go in for treatments bout once a month, after a couple months his skin was clean af. |

I used to suffer pretty mildly from acne. A year ago I started to drink WAY more water than I used to. It was difficult at first, but now I drink around 8-12 water bottles a day. Also avoid soft drinks and junk food. I indulge myself with candies and chocolates at least once a month though. No harm in trying
