What is the best way to treat acne? Does chocolate attribute to it?
I saw on Proactiv’s website that chocolate isnt as bad as most say. It isnt as acne causing. I dont use Proactiv, I use Neutrogena. What acne treatment works best? Also, does toothpaste work?
I wash my face… it helps a little. What else should I do?
Chocolate has no effect on acne (unless perhaps if you’re smearing it on your face and leaving it there, haha). Toothpaste sounds very much like an urban legend, and I’ve never heard of it as a treatment.
Keeping one’s hands off your face (even in class, where one’s head feels so heavy) and washing several times a day with a mild soap to avoid "burning" the skin, is best. I found this difficult myself.
In those days, I would soap and lather my hands, wash them, then lather again and wash my face, rise with a splash of water around lunch time. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon, I’d do the same but skip the soap on my face.
Acne is a normal side-effect of puberty, and there are a myriad of ways your body will change in this phase. Keeping your self healthy with a good sweaty work out each day will cause your pores to open to eject water (sweating), which can flush some of the oils from the skin. Be sure to take a shower afterwards to rinse off this effluent, using soap to emulsify the oils.

What other options of birth control are there to treat acne?
I was put on Diane 35 birth control, both as a contraceptive and as a acne medication.
It worked well, but it’s one of the most expensive birth controls and isn’t covered by my school insurance.
Is there any other type of birth control that works well for acne, but isn’t as costly?
I have pretty bad skin, I was put on Accutane but can’t take it any longer.
Several doctors I have talked with told me that it is caused by an imbalance in your body and diet. You have to change your diet and be very patient to see results. That is the best way and the cheapest. Most often, we have spent our life having an acidic diet while in reality that is a very bad thing. It is better to have a slightly alkaline diet. Also, if you drink diet sodas, you are robbing your body of important minerals. All of the chemicals in our lives cause severe imbalances. Once you get a balance back into your body you will start seeing a change and over time start to feel like a new person. And you won’t need chemical scrubs soaps and tons of chemical washes to clear up your skin. Remember, you are what you eat. While Jane covers treating the surface symptoms, it will not make the problem go away. The cause is what you need to attack. I know people that use to have your problem and they have gotten rid of the problem through changing your diet completely for the better.
Darlin12 answered with drinking unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. Drinking this in quantity like she says does help. It causes your body’s chemical balance to be slightly alkaline instead of acidic. But you still have to change your diet and feed your body in a healthy manner. Vinegar helps with a lot of problems internally. It is amazing how healthy the body gets when allowed to have the chemical balance that it is supposed to have.
