The Angst of Acne

[Adam Of Avalon]

Just like everyone else my age, I'm plagued by acne. Does anyone have any remedies for this ailment?

Tee tree oil might work, but some react to this stuff so be careful. :)
Then there is always try to avoid certain foods, like chocolate, nuts, cheese etc. It works for some.

Blessed be

Your parents will tell you not to eat greasy foods, chocolates, or soda. Well, in general eating healthy and drinking lots will help your skin stay hydrated and thus help get rid of oilclogs. However, cutting those foods out of your diet will NOT prevent acne or necessarily even lessen it. Tea tree oil works well, and make sure you are cleansing your face with an oil free foaming gel cleanser (the best type for oily/acne prone skin) twice a day, and if your skin is dry also apply an oil free moisturizer. You might also find that trying to cut certain foods out could help, perhaps you are having a reaction to something you're eating.
Lastly, make an appointment with a dermatoligist if you can. :)

I battled acne for years and years with every harsh cleanser and treatment out there, only to finally find a nice vitamin e foaming gel cleanser that cleared up my face :)
