But aren't the foods what your body uses to make the oil?

__________________

Of course food period is what your body uses to produce all the proteins and other components of your body. But, greasy foods don't cause acne unless you smear it on your face. The problem with people who are prone to acne is that they tend to produce too much oil naturally. This is a genetic disposition. And, the myth that eating pizza and burgers causes bumps is pretty much blaming the victim. Acne is a disease that can be controlled through knowledgeable and informed procedures.

I used to get a ton of acne a few years ago.Now,at 16,I don't get any at all...my skin is clear.

What I do is wash my face more.A lot more.Like 3-4 times a day.I have a certain lotion I use too,for balance so my skin doesn't dry up.Costed like 2$ but it works.

I don't use any magic face wash neither.I use this one from the company "Aveeno"...cost like 5$.
I just think it's pathetic to fork over 30$ on something like Pro Active just to get rid of acne.A lot of my friends bought that shit...and their acne hasn't improved one bit.

Also,another thing I did when I stopped breaking out was eating healtier too.Like less fatty foods and absolutely NO soda whatsoever.I bassically been drinking water like crazy.

I read from a bodybuilding website that water is essential to a healty diet and lifestyle.That it helps flush wastes and toxins from your sytem.
It may sound like it's hard...to just stop drinking soda and go to water primarily.But trust me..it's not.(I dunno if this eating healtier thing really has an effect on acne.I'm just saying that my acne did slow down when I started.It could be a coincidence.)

For girls, going on birth control often gets rid of acne.You only "break out" then when you're on your period (hormone levels). And as Q said, your diet doesn't influence your acne.

I've had acne since who knows when. It's usually worst during the summer from the heat and the oil that builds up and I don't get around to washing my face often enough. It probably doesn't help that I have a habit of absentmindedly picking/scratching at it when I'm sitting at the computer reading something or watching a movie. I can just imagine all the bacteria I'm getting onto my face from the keyboard and mouse.

In my case, what I've found to clear mine up was using Clean & Clear's Blackhead Clearing Scrub which has salicylic acid and microbeads to exfoliate when I shower at night and then Clean & Clear's benzoyl peroxide before I go to bed a few hours later. I think I found out about that combo from the www.acne.org forums. When the scrub ran out, I decided to try their Continuous Control face wash that just has salicylic acid, but the acne started coming back, so I'm on longer using that. Using just the benzoyl peroxide by itself never did work. When you treat it, it also doesn't go away instantly.. Got to do the regiment almost daily and it may take 2-3 months before it all clears up. Also try sleeping on your back without your face buried in your pillow...the less you touch your face the better.
