Acne prone skin can also be dry skin, this is usually called combination skin. You have to use an acne wash, and to counterbalance the effects that has on the dry parts of your face you will have to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Talk to your doctor about this, he may be able to refer you to a dermatologist who can help.

I am 10 how do you get rid of acne?

Well, since you are 10 you're probably close to hitting puberty. Once you hit puberty, you'll start to sweat a lot more than usual. Sweating normally makes your face greasy which is what causes the acne. If you see that your face is dry most of the day, make sure you keep it washed and moisturized. The dry skin will sit on you're face and get dirty if you don't. If you're face is shiny, that means it's dirty, so you need to wash it. DO NOT OVER WASH YOUR FACE If you wash it too much you can dry it out. I'm 11 and I started getting acne when I was 9. Acne won't just go away overnight, but just keep your face clean and moisturized, and it should go away within 1 to 3 weeks.


What is the best long term skin care for acne so that I can keep acne away?

The best is to wash your face one to two times per day but no more so as to not over dry it. Tea Tree oil is good to help dry up acne that has already apeared. The best long term skin care regimen for acne that I can personally recommend is the Proactiv skin care system. It is the most effective acne treatment that I have tried, and it is fantastic at keeping acne away for good.


What is the steps to get rid of pimple?

Simple pimple-removal guide: 1. Regularly wash your face with soap or oil-free acne soap twice a day. Most pimples will be removed in a few days if they have just formed. 2. Some cases are very severe and require removing oil from your face during the day. There are special tissues used to absorb oil from the face and prevent acne from forming. It can also dry out existing pimples. 3. Buy expensive creams that you use overnight such as Acnescription. They prevent acne from forming overnight. As long as you remove oil from your face regularly, acne will not form and existing acne will dry out eventually. Don't try all 3 of these measures at once. Start with washing your face regularly and see if it works after a few days.
