Would you like to add anything to these tips?

Tips for acne sufferes;
I've had acne for many years. It's gone from severe to naturally mild, but now it looks clear only because of the things i do to keep aclear face.

There are two ways to keeping your skin clear looking;
1) keeping acne away
Great systems for severe acne are- Acne free or Neutrogena Advanced acne therapy system (proactive is crappy trust me)
for mild/moderate-oxy is a great line and even has a satisfaction guarentee sticker on it/ St.Ivesaprocate scrub with salysicacid
taking hot baths deepcleans pores & afterwards splash freezing water on face to close pores. (over washing produces more oil in the skin which means more sebum)
2) Healing afterwards
Scabs drive us crazy because they make our face look red so i have tips on how to heal quickly.
Buy vitamin e ointment to apply daily directly on scab. Drink Arthur's smoothies because they are jammed packed with vitamins and other essentials that the body uses to heal faster+ less acne can be possible.
eat fruits as well to keep skin healthy and glowing. Take hot baths to help life of scab shorten.

Advanced/Cheap ways to get rid of big pimples:
Aspirin mask is wounderful:)
Just take 10 of them and put it on at nightime before bed leaveon for an hour then wash off and the results should be noticable.
Neutrogena rapid clear spot treatment is the best one i've used, so far so try that one.

&& good luck.

Also think positive because less stress=less acne..
i'd also like to add some covering up tips.. Buy a green concealing pen to take away redness and then put your normal powder over it and it'll match skin tone well.
you can get the natural vitamine e ointment at the drug store in the pharmacy section.
