acne, ew. Options

[LittleMissSunshi...]

anywho, so today, I saw my cousin after a while. She always had acne problems all her life, she finally got ProActiv, and it actually worked. I never had huge acne problems, I just usually wash my face with water and soap, and drink a lot of water. That always helped me.

So my question is, what's your way of getting rid of acne?

I go on an acne site here it has helped me beyond anything.
What I do for acne is drink tons of water, avoid soda, and take 50mg zinc once a day. I struggled with mild acne for a while, but finally got around to doing this. I wash my face regularly and also exercise.
Water helps -
-Improves Energy
- Increases Mental/Physical Performance
- Flushes Toxins Out Of Body
- Keeps Skin Healthy
- Helps Lose Weight
- Reduces Headaches & Dizziness
- Allows for Proper Digestion
- Helps you Keep More Alkaline

So it does more than help with skin. Exercise increases the blood flow and circulation so it tightens the skin. It also helps promote oxygen and nutrients needed to produce collagen. And, the zinc reduces inflammation. Although after taking the 50mg I now cut the pills in half after constantly being tired, the inability to focus, charley horses in my leg, and headaches.

As for the hair thing, it's a good idea to keep it out of your face, especially after sweating a lot. With sweat comes sebum, which is the oily substance that is released through your pores.
