Stay out of the sun. That does more damage than good to your skin!! Also, I would recommend talking with your OB/Gyn doctor about it. They may put you on a birth control pill to help with the acne. Some acne is helped with BC pills. I also have clients who have used the progesterone cream (Prolief) from Arbonne & it has helped with their skin tremendously. At your age, your hormones are overactive anyway, so getting that under control can only help with your acne. Several of my clients also use the Clear Advantage system for acne from Arbonne and see HUGE benefits to their skin in just a couple days. I've seen this personally! It works really well.

I know it is very tough to deal with acne, but whatever products you choose, be sure they have salicylic acid in them to help dry up the oil. Also, don't overscrub your skin when you exfoliate, it only further damages your skin. Last, don't put your hands on your face, they carry a lot of oils on them and will transfer to your skin. Stress is a huge reason people get acne, so maybe even try to lower your stress level some.

Hope this is helpful. Hang in there! It is temporary!
