How can I get acne away before September? My acne isn't that bad but it does bother me.?

Question

It's Mostly across my forehead and I try to hide it with my bangs but doesn't always work. I'm want to try and get like smooth skin with out buying Proactive and products like that. Any good ideas?

Answer 1

If you have hair that gets in your face, like medium/long hair, pull back into a ponytail and clip your bangs back (if you have them) . There is oil in your hair that can clog your pores. Also drink water, don't eat a bunch of junk food and wash your face. Hope this helps :]  

Answer 2

Proper diet, 6-8 glasses of water a day, and Proactiv work for me.

Answer 3

Acne Free did wonders for me... Drink lots of water too

Answer 4

Yes, I think water does help. Also, two of my sisters and I started using Bare Minerals Cosmetics in April and we think that it has really helped our skin too. Trying to hide the acne on your forehead with bangs could actually be a bad idea becasue the natural oils from your hair is probably making it worse.

Answer 5

wash your face twice a day

don't wash it too much cause that can make it worse

try using an over the counter medication and if that doesn't work go see a dermatologist or your regular doctor and they should be able to prescribe something

Answer 6

yeah, drink more water. water is the best thing you can do really! and just regular washing your face and pimple cream if needed on the spots.

Answer 7

my dermatologist prescribed differin and it really works.

Answer 8

Use a good facewash twice a day- once when you wake up, and once when you go to bed.  Be sure to be consistent with it too, don't just wash your face when you "feel like it".  If you have a few zits that aren't going away with the facewash, you can get like spot treatment cream to put on just those zits and leave it on overnight.

Now if you're wondering like what kind to get, I have Neutragena foam acne wash and it works pretty well, but if you're not sure maybe you can go to a doctor/dermatologist and see what they say.... if you're acne is pretty bad they might perscribe something, but it sounds like it's not too bad so they might just recomend a brand.  Otherwise, the Neutragena foam acne wash can be found at places like Target and it's pretty cheap, and it lasts a long time.  As for the cream, I'm not so sure what they go for and where you can find them but just look at places like Target and stuff and they will probably have something if you don't ask a doctor.

Hope this helps, & also hope your face clears up :]

Answer 9

actually, the main reason for your acne may be your bangs. you dont want to put your bangs in your forehead because the oil in your hair wil go into your forehead. when i found that out, i grew out my bangs and my acne clamed down, but didn't go away. so i use  clean & clear daily pore cleanser, it clears up my skin 5 minutes after use!! (it doesn't work for all ppl that fast ) and for the spots that you want gone overnight either use toothpaste or clean and clear persa gel.
