I have had Acne for about ten years with the first four being the worst but since then I have found out what affects my skin.
I also believe that acne should be broken into different categories. I do not have oily skin at all. My skin is really dry and I find that when I get dehydrated my skin gets worse. When I drink lots of water my skin improves a lot.
I went to a dermatologist and they can give perscriptions for some really good creams. The creams I got helped to clear up my skin when it was at its worst. I used to get huge lumps on my forward which would take ages just to develop into a spot. It was awful. I would recommend anyone with acne to see a dermatologist.
The dermatologist I saw also recommended not to wash my face to often. I only wash my face once a day, maybe twice, no more.
I am going to disagree with myself a little now. I find that my skin gets greasy if I have long hair or if I let my beard grow. I know its tempting to let your hair grow long to cover up, but I would recommend keeping your hair short and being clean shaved.
If you are suffering that I would try a few of these steps and see what happens.
