I've struggled with acne for years and I've tried everything from Proactiv to Accutane, and nothing worked. My acne were the large, painful cystic nodes that would last for weeks and I'd usually have about three or four on my cheeks at a time. Initially, I changed my lifestyle to help combat my breakouts. I trained myself to never touch my face, never wore makeup, cut out almost all sugar from my diet, used only sulfate free shampoo, changed my pillowcases once a week; but nothing seemed to help.

Then one day I said "screw it", if I'm going to have these huge lumps on my face I'm going to at least try to cover them up with makeup. So I went out to get some Neutragena Healthy Skin liquid primer and liquid foundation and covered it up the best I could. But then something I hadn't expected happened, my skin got a little better. I was still having the breakouts, but they were smaller and less frequent. Then I realized, maybe I'm making my skin worse by using all these anti-acne creams and toners. Maybe I just needed to go all natural and super moisturize....So I got some apple cider vinegar and Neutragena oil free moisturizer and I used that twice a day on my face. Surprisingly, my acne got a little better; I was only have one nodule at a time. Then on Pintrest I saw that coconut oil has many anti-acne properties, but it was also highly comedogenic. So I was stuck in a cross roads, my dermatologist warned me to stay away from comedones, but I felt I had nothing to lose. I took a leap of faith and bought some organic virgin coconut oil from target. That night my skin instantly felt better, and I haven't had a breakout since.

Here is my skin care routine:

Wake up and wash my face with warm water and pat dry.
Tone with a 1:1 ratio of Braggs organic apple cider vinegar and air dry.
Moisturize with Target's organic virgin coconut oil.
The end.

Super fast and easy, plus I smell like a coconut all day.
