besides exfoliating

I’m a 14 year old girl and I want to have really nice skin, so I did some research and came up with this skin regimen:

-cleanse daily, once when I wake up and once before bed

Yesterday, at the store, when I picked up all these items my mom convinced my not to buy them because they were “a waste of money”. Do you think any of these things are a waste of money? I was gonna buy it with my own money even! What do you think and how can I buy what I want without my mom interferring? Thanks for answering

I have acne around my T-zone area and would like to know if there are any good remedies out there, preferably natural solutions. Thanks =]

I want to take good care of my skin and cure my very mild acne, so I was wondering if this would be a good skin care routine for me.

-cleanse everyday in the morning and night

also, would it be okay if instead of actually cleansing, toning, and moisturizing before bed I just use these wipes that claim to cleanse, tone, and moisturize? Thanks you for answering!

I have used clean and clear and neutrogena face wash and it ends up breaking out my skin because my skin is sensitive. Is there any acne products or natural remedies that clear acne that can be used for sensitive skin?

a little long, but PLEASE HELP!

i’ve had moderate acne for years now; i’ve tried a bunch of OTC face washes and creams without great results. i recently started using a higher end brand of face washes (DDF; salicilyc acid wash in the morning and benzoyl peroxide scrub at night with benzoyl peroxide gel for spot treatment) and my skin definitely improved, but still wasn’t perfect. i went to the dermatologist and was prescribed finacea gel which i apply to my entire face twice a day- after washing my face in the morning and after washing my face at night (my derm said that i could still do my exact same routine w/ the face washes and even still use the benzoyl peroxide gel on top of the finacea for extra treatment). this gel has helped A LOT with fading red marks (big problem i had) and treating pimples much faster (ie shrinking and healing and redness fading in less time); however, i’m still GETTING new pimples, so as nicely as the medication is TREATING my pimples and fading the red marks that show up, it’s just a cycle at this point- the point is, i want to NOT be getting pimples. i feel like my best bet is to use these topical products in conjunction with an oral medication.

as a sidenote, about 8 years ago when my acne was much worse i started taking the oral antibiotic minocycline, and had an extremely rare adverse reaction to it (pseudotumor cerebri). i’m currently on various psychotropic medications (as i was at the time of taking minocycline) so i need to be a little cautious about potential reactions between medications.

I have teeny pimples all over my face and I’m driving to see my boyfriend tomorrow. I would like to look halfway decent when I see him. I have the biore pore strips for my face, and I also have a few other natural remedies that I use (lemon juice or peroxide toner, salt scrub for my face), but I’m desperate…just to look halfway decent when I wake up….any ideas, Help por favor LOL!!!

im going to camp on thursday and i was wondering if there were any ways to get rid of it before the day comes. not all of its noticeable, some of it is, some of it isnt.
