im 18 and have had acne for the past 3 or 4 years. i also have many blackheads on nose, chin and forehead along with painful red spots on cheek and chin. is there any way i can treat and reduce this because almost every morning i wake up with a new whitehead or red painful spot. i use facial wash morning and evening along with moisturiser and occasionaly a face mask.

    J ..have you consulted your doctor or dermatologist about this? There are medications available which can help this persistent acne.

    I can suggest a few things which may help. 1] Dont eat any chocolate. 2] Get a small complexion brush and use that with your facial wash to work a lather up on your skin. 3] use a face cream with retinol in it. Retinol can cause a dry red reaction so only use a tiny amount at first on one tiny patch and see if you react.
