hello there friend, I might be able to help you by giving you a tip or two. I have had to suffer with acne (really bad pimples) since I was 12. I have tried so many products but they really didnt seem to be working at all. Well after prayer and with hope I followed one of my cousin's advise. She told me to use Aloe vera and well it's been working (try to get the natrual stuff fresh cut plant/ not the over the counter)

What I do when I wake up and before I sleep is the following.
*First, I wash my hands with neutral soap and well rinse them.
*Then I make foam with the neutral soap and warm water using my hands and apply the foam by massaging the affected area (this being my face and shoulders) ( I massage for 10 seconds and leave it on for about 3) then i rinse with cold water.
*I then pat dry (preferably with a towel) , and when I am all dryed up I apply (with a cicular light massaging motion) the gooey stuff from inside the Aloe vera branch on the affected area.
Then I just let it dry and it works as a protective shield for bacteria and it heals my skin at the same time. I don't get oily skin anymore!
My skin is all cleared up and I have much more confidence out in public.
I still do this now daily because it helps me stop future breakouts and it makes my skin look great and fresh.
*you can save your Aloe vera branch in aluminum foil paper and then put it in a bag and then put it in the refrigerator so you can have it fresh for next time
