I usually wash my face atleast 3 times a day with a mild face wash. I also drink plenty of water regularly. I've tried a lot of products from the market but they are not so effective. Then from one of my colleague I got the name of Himani Boroplus Anti-Acne cream and I started using it for about 3 months. This is an herbal product and is working quite well on my skin. Hope to get rid of acne soon.

do you eat a lot of spicy, pungent foods? i had a friend that was using a lot of garlic, ginger, onions etc. in her food and she is a fire sign. all that energy has to go somewhere. have you looked into Ayurveda to see what your consitution is and then go from there.

I used to have acne when I was younger and the best thing I found was Burt's Bees, it's 100% natural on many of it's products and 98% natural on the rest. It's really an amazing line of products at least in it's acne department, which I definitely recommend, but I haven't tried their other lines really.



Something else I noticed about their products is they are always really nice smelling when I tried any of them, because they are herbal/natural based. I used their citrus body wash before and liked it a lot, it helped with clogged pores on my back! I had problems with it for a few summers in a row (on my back and my chest right between the boobs   ) but their body wash cleared it right up, and smelled really nice/natural/herbal which I loved.

The exact acne product I remember using the most from them was the spot-treatment one... it is like a liquid that rolls onto your skin on just the pimple (not the whole face) and I would put it on at night then in the morning and it would be gone by noon the next day... or by morning if it wasn't that bad. Keep your face clean, wash it and/or if it isn't too sore pat the affected pimple with a cleaner cloth just before putting on the Burt's Bees spot treatment. I had problems with only washing my face when I was in the shower because I was lazy -LOL- totally my fault! Why my skin was awful! So I'd like get those spot wipes and clean the pimple then put the spot treatment on just before bed and again in the morning... Instead of washing my face twice a day every single day. I don't have a favorite brand of cleaning cloths, just the ones that are labeled as moist towelettes for acne of the face?  I used the store brand and Neutrogena and wasn't attached to either *shrug*

If you're someone who doesn't wash their face like I was, put one of those shower hangers in your shower and face wash on the shower hanger. Every time you shower wash your face with both a cream and gel cleanser... yes, use one of each every time. That's what I started to do and it made my skin so healthy as I finally gave up poring over the sink and driving myself crazy all the time. I don't even shower every day but washing your face with an actual face wash while in the shower will save the pimples because you do it thoroughly, do not use body wash or bar soap on your face anymore! It was an epiphany for me to use that stupid shower rack for face wash haha. (I know I'm a slob! Please don't laugh!) If you are really ambitious, (heh) then after you get out of the shower put on some SPF 15 facial moisturizer and you're skin will be young forever! The moisturizer always goes on better when just showered and the SPF 15 saves you from burning on the face/neckline. Just make sure to get a facial one though or it'll clog the pores! I just checked and Burt's Bees does have a radiance spf 15 facial moisturizer... I might order some, I love drugstore.com!
