I was lucky, I can count the number of pimples I've had in my life on my fingers. One of my best friends had it bad, though. He cut grains entirely out of his diet, and poof, acne gone.
I didn't really have bad acne, just a breakout now and again. I always made sure to clip my fringe up when in doors, and washed with face wipes everytime I felt my skin get greasy.
I don't have acne and I rarely get spots, though I used to have a few spots but not that much... I used spot cream/blackhead alcohol rub things but they didn't seem to do much, especially the cream I could have sworn it made me wake up with more spots :P
Unless it's a genetic or biological issue (like the dietary thing someone mentioned already), the only reason you should have acne is poor hygiene. Wash your face once or twice a day, and you should be clear.
I used to have kinda bad acne but not as bad as some people. I started using Acutane and it did an excellent job. Only thing was that it made lips dry but that wasn't that big of a deal. Then I stopped using it and I started getting acne again but not as bad as before. Then I started just washing my face several times a day and that worked pretty good, now I sometimes get spots but that's it.
[QUOTE="Maddy_K"][QUOTE="Brainkiller05"][QUOTE="solid_mario"] Must resist making a comment about facials... Must be maturer than that...!! It was hard but we managed it 8) What's wrong with facials? Are you trying to make me burst?! :(
I wash my face twice a day, take Minocycline, use Retin-A at night, use Duac gel in the morning along with oxy pads, and still have very noticeable acne. :(
I used to have it BAD, but like a year ago I took Acutane and that crap WORKS. It was 5 months of hell while taking it because of the side effects, but in the end my acne vanished completely, except for the few scars on my forehead. Now I just wash my face everyday and don't have to worry about acne.
My acne only comes from stress, so I never stress over something. Like...if I make a mistake I'll just say "Oh well..it's in the past now." :) I do wash my face with regular soap, but not for acne.
I don't have bad acne luckily..though I usually have one acne..bump on my skin for about a year now :(. Though they are usually on my forehead and blocked by hair and of course whenever I get a hair cut the acne went away. Though now all the sudden I am not really getting any acne on my forehead anymore but now I have had a breakout on my nose, I hope from the stress of finals and having Wendy's often because it is the quickest food source other then making some crappy frozen food :P. I use some acne medicine, donno what it is called but I got it from a dermatologist, I don't really notice any difference than regular acne medicine but maybe that is because I have such little acne. I was also given a face cleanser but my skin is sensitive so I don't use it much otherwise I get dead skin on my face if I use it too much :(
