Question Posted Saturday September 2 2006, 1:13 pm
Hiya,
I have a big acne problem!. It started when i was 13 and i am 15 now and it hasnt cleared up and i havent noticed any changes. The acne is on my back and chest :- on my back it is mainly just spots and some blackheads but on my back its all blackheads and lots of them. I wash twice a day with exfoliating scrubs and cleansers and i even had tablets when i was 14. I was on them for 3 months but they were not working. My problem really effects me and makes me feel more insecure than i already am with my body. I really need someones help and advice, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks alot.
Chloe xx

I know this sounds wierd.. but Lemon Juice works really great..
All you have to do is dab some of it on a cotton swab and rub it on your acne.. if you do this for about a week (once a day).. the acne should either completely disappear or have just a couple pimples left..
Don't wash it off, just leave it on.. and don't touch it while you have it on.. or else it will stop working ...
As for the exfoliating scrubs.. you shouldn't have been using them twice a day.. twice a week would've been better

Other than that use a cleanser for you're skin type (dry, oily, combination). If you have oily skin you should also use a toner. Then Use lotion. You can get body washes for acne, use them neutrogena has a good one. Use oil free makeup, (many girls with acne dont look good with makeup) Drink water!
Heres a message board link that has all kinda of acne topics. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) [ Nobodys_Girl's advice column | Ask Nobodys_Girl A Question ]
