Do you have dove in your country? Dove is a beauty bar (and body wash, but you want the bar). If you do take the bar and rub it on your face like a mask, let it stay for a few hours or over night, you should see results in a few days, keep doing this and it should also leave your face softer.

I know that product! So that's the proper way to use it! I will try it to see if it works on me. My problem with this soap is that unlike other soap it does not give me a soapy feeling when I use it. Do you why is that so? Anyway, I will try what you are suggesting to try staying it overnight. Thanks for that bit of information!

Maybe your skin is soo dry that it doesn't have the moisture to help it lather into your skin? I'm not sure how that works, but I would suggest adding a bit of water just a bit, not too much. After doing this method I would suggest trying to find a moisturizer cream that you can apply to your face every night before bed. I hope this helps the break outs stop, it worked for me, hope it does for you.

I am a great grandmother who has been through all this with my own children and grandchildren. This is the same advice I gave them and saw results each time they took it. I hope it helps you, too. Having pimples, blackheads and other blemishes on one's face is not always caused (or cured) by what you use to clean your skin with. Pimples and blackheads are the result of your body's attempt to rid itself of toxins. They are often the result of the foods we eat. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits often helps in clearing up one's skin. You only mentioned what you were doing to keep your face clean, nothing about your diet. If you are the typical teenage boy, you probably eat an overload of 'junk food' - chips, pizza, burgers, fries, etc. which are all high in fats resulting in overloading your body with these impurities which come out on your face (and probably back or chest - you didn't mention that, but it is a common situation when one has pimples on their face). Try changing your diet for a while to see if you get a change in the pimples. A change in your diet will not show immediate results, it will take a few months to see the changes take place, but they will come with time. The problem with these 'cures' for pimples and such is that they tend to dry out the skin as they assume that your pimples are caused by oily skin. Try this improvement in your diet and see what happens.

Oh, yes! I didn't mention that you might try to drink lots and lots of water. Water is a body purifier, so use that to your advantage.

Finding the perfect product to work on your skin is a trial and error thing. Use soaps with salicylic acid. It can dry up your pimple and if you have dry skin please use moisturizers. EVen if you have oily skin derma still recommends using moisturizers. Since you are in your puberty age, pimples can come and go so it's best to have a skin care maintenance. Have a healthy diet and do exercise because they do help your skin become healthy. I've been using a product that works perfectly well on me and i recommended it to my friends who have pimple and wrinkle problems and it worked for them too. However, i cannot say what the product is here because it's not BFAD approve and i don't want to be sued for recommending it lol! You can give me a private message though but i cannot guarantee it will have an effect on you. I saw a review of the emu oil with tea tree oil that also helps fight pimples. Some users claimed that it was so effective that their pimple becomes flat as a pancake the following day. It didn't happen to me though but i'm still using it because emu oil is still good in moisturizing my skin. Don't wash your face two times a day because it would get irritated instead of cleansed.

huh? You have to trust your dermatologist! My friend took more than a year, taking antibiotics and using cream to have his pimples on his face disappeared! If you stopped your treatment and start using your method to deal with it, it has no good for you......like using warm water vapour, it makes your skin dry and stimulate more oil which can cause more pimples; and the face wash you use, I don't know whether it is suitable for problem skin, may make your problem even worse...so...I don't know...if you want to solve the problem...trust the dermatologist and insist!!!

First of all your face might have excess oil which needs to be cleansed regularly with water. Do not try to pick any of the pimlpes, it may spread even more. Also try using some facial cleanser it might help. And the least you can do is aoid thinking about the pimples and it may disappear within no time.

You can use lemon juice and juice from onions on pimples to get rid of them. This also controls your black heads. This is an old remedy of my Great Great Grandmother and it works very well.

It may be due to a hormone problem, or can be caused by eating too much of the wrong foods. Avoid soda pop, sugars and greasy food. Starch turns to sugar, so eat those moderately. In moderation it is ok, but most teens drink pop like water when in fact they should be drinking water. Veggies are your friend and if you are friendly to them, they will do you a great favor by clearing up your skin. I have terrible acne, and I am in my 40's. The only time I did not have acne was when I had a pretty good job and could afford to eat fresh veggies. I would snack on them constantly, and my skin was perfect then. If I drink more than a glass of pop once in a blue moon, I get a break out. You may even have a skin condition known as rosacia, but your doctor should have known that so possibly that can be ruled out. Drink plenty of water, that will help flush your body of toxins that are accumulating in your pores. Be careful that you do not use products that will dry your face out. If your skin is like mine, this will happen: You wash, the skin is dry for a little while and then gets incredibly oily as the body rushes to replace the oils that were lifted from the wash, resulting in more pimples. Good luck!

Hey...u know what at your age its really normal that you do have pimples.Same as I am before.But I did not used creams or anything for it.Reminder #1 you should have a better sleep,#2 just wash your face regularly but don't use anything that will harm your face "anti bacterial soap is better, #3 don't rub any rough towel or cloth on your face,#4 if you have plenty of time or even if your watching tv rub a piece of ice on your face and neck for about 20 minutes.#5 Do not eat oily foods. Do it regularly and it will help you lessen your pimple..
