Hey :) I'm 18 too. I started cleansing when I was 17 - a full body cleanse, including liver, kidneys, bowels, alkalining.. intense stuff lol. Anway, It's been about a year and a half since I started and I'm only now starting to feel the benefits and get relief from my acne. So keep cleansing, it may take a while, but it's worth it. Diet changes are good too if you haven't done it already. No processed stuff, no dairy, ect. Lots of fruits and veggies and healthy raw fats!
BTW - have you tried clay masks? I just started using them about 2 months ago and they really help!! I like
Green Clay the best, others like grey (bentonite) clay the best. You can buy it at health food stores and the mix water with it to make a thin paste. I like to add tea tree oil to the mask, it gives it extra bacteria-busting power!! :) The mask may make you break out a bit at first if you have a lot of blackheads/whiteheads because it's drawing stuff out of your pores, but if you do it everyday (15 minutes on until it dries), they'll clear up fast.
