    another thing that works is good ol ivory soap, plain ivory soap, i have a beautiful completion, and ive never had any acne because of it, tha most was like a lil zit or sumthin, i dont pop it, and all i use is plain ivory soap, no sents!!
    tha body has natural healing stuff in it (lol) u dont need to add all that mess, my brother had kinda bad acne, and he was using all that stuff for his face so i told him to stop and use tha plain soap and water, and he is adorable with tha clear skin, and another thing that might help is to not use tha same towel u wash ur body with, to wash ur face (or that might just be me) (lol)
