Really bad acne and scars?

Okay, so my friend is to emmbarressed to put this on hers. So tell me what helps with acne and scaring? she is 17 yrs old, and hhmmm... smokes, and well i dont know what else. she doesnt play sports or nothing. So what could you guys say to help with her acne? Like specail tricks or brands or any thing i guess. And the scars? What to do about the scars? Thanks i guessReally bad acne and scars?
Use Vitamin E on the scars and smoking has nothing to do with her acne. I'm guessing you want us to comment on her smoking. She can use toothpaste to shrink current pimples and then wash her face with neutragena or clean and clear products...Really bad acne and scars?
She should a healthy lifestyle. Smoking contributes to bad skin from what I have seen. Sports will help improve blood circulation and healthy food will lead to a healthy skin.





Anyway, if she could not stop these habits, she can try doing other things.





1. Cleanse her skin with a mild cleanser twice a day but bear in mind do not over cleanse her face or she will strip away her natural oils. Tone with a suitable toner and finish off with oil free moisturizer.





2. Use medicated products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Tea tree oil works well too. Aspirin mask is great for acne prone skin. Google it to find out.





3. Do not make up until the acne clears. Otherwise, if it is a must to make up, use mineral makeup.





4. As for the scars, she can go for aloe vera gel(slow but does its job in the long run), scar serums or creams. Whitening products help too(but might not be suitable for certain people), but since she is acne prone please don't start getting rid of the scars before the pimple clears or else things might be worse.





If she has a serious acne problem, maybe she could visit a dermatologist for advice. They are experts who know better than us here.
I would just like to say that all of those lotions, soaps, and things usually don't work. Tell her to look into accutane. You are on it for about 2 months and after you take it your acne is gone and never comes back and, it even fades scars. The only thing is it chaps your lips a little and gives you slighlty dry skin ( only while on medicine) but it is totally worth it. Just don't be or get pregnant while on it and thats it! ( it works on 90% of people, and personally, i have never had any problem since)
Use the wave from Nuetrogena. I used it, at first it gave me like 2 pimples, but it goes away in a day. After 2 weeks, I'm pimple free!


Put lotion on after. It works! Well at least for me lol!
