Tips for Preventing Acne
As soon as we become teenagers the battle against acne begins. However to fight a good fight, you have to know your enemy, so it's surprising that most teens don't know what they're up against.
Acne is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin. When puberty hits (typically during the early teen years) raging hormones cause the oil glands in your skin become over-stimulated. Some teens suffer from more severe acne because they're oil glands become more stimulated.
Unfortunately, there's no surefire defense against acne. However, there are several ways you can help to diminish breakouts.

Dr Nick Lowe's Anti-Blemish Day Cream is awesome because a little bit is a good moisturiser for daytime, but in the evening you can put more on as a night cream and you have gorgeous soft skin in the morning!!! only available in the uk though - i think!!!!!

i had oily acne for a while and then it went away after a bad sunburn. It was gone for a year and all of a sudden out of nowhere it returned! Its terrorizing me! I have used doctor prescribed acne topical gels, toners, moisterizers etc. but my acne won't let up! I don't consume junk food everyday, infact my diet is very balanced. I've been hoping excess exposure to the sun will do the trick again but so far its done absolutely nothing. Any suggestions?

The number one thing i found was that popping zits and such made things so so so much worse. Don't do it.
secondly, i used Daniel Kern's regimin and i really liked it. Its cheaper and better than proactive and he is much more environmentally conscious.
thirdly, don't overwash
and fourth use lukewarm water not hot and don't scrub but dab and gently rub facewash etc. think of it as being just like popping a zit- the more you prod the more bacteria and stuff gets irritated and moved around.

my skin has been a lot better since i used this moisturizing cream with medicine in it. it not only kept my skin acne free, it also made it look very healthy with the moisturizer. its the best product ever!

my skin can be really oily, and i dont quite have acne but i get zits on my forehead a lot. can that be because of my hair? and what do you suggest for a face wash besides just soap because i tried proactiv but it doesnt really work for me?

my skin is very sensitive proactiv works for me but it tends to make my skin very dry. what would be the next ideal acne treatment to try?

Water was my friend. II used to fill my sink with water as hot as I could stand and submerge my face for as long as I could hold my breath. This reduced the number of breakouts I had
