Hi Ehazy!
There are a lot of options out there to help with acne. Since you're a teen, the hormones sure get things out of whack but there are things you can do to combat and control the irruptions from happening. First and foremost watch what you eat. Check the ingredients of everything. You'll find that most foods you buy from the shelves contain processed, hydrolysed, artificial, colours and who knows what else. (Don't be fooled when the package reads natural flavours or spices - there are still a lot of additives there that the manufacturer can't be bothered to list). Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. Do a search online for alkaline foods - the more you eat of those, the more our body's ph levels will balance out. Drink plenty of distilled water as this will help to flush out the toxins and of course do some moderate exercise as this will help you sweat out toxins too. Acne is actually inflammation in the skin when the body is trying to fight the collection of bacteria creating pus in the pores that's why you have to watch what you put into and on your body. Fight the inflammation inside and out and you'll win the battle. Secondly, get a good skin care line - and I don't mean a chemical filled, fragrant smelling brand - remember read the ingredients. You are still young, use a good natural line in order to preserve the youthfulness of your skin and combat the skin problems at the same time, you'll be glad you did years from now. Lastly there's an excellent book out there by dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone called The Acne Presciption. Hope all this helps!
