Below are some alternatives to the Zit free skin care routine.
Cleanse: Try cleansing twice per day with Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash (32 oz. for $11.99). If that doesn’t work, switch to something with salcylic acid such as CVS Oil Free Cream Cleanser ($4.49) or pull out the big guns with DERMAdoctor Ain’t Misbehavin’ Medicated AHA/BHA Acne Cleanser ($25.00).
Treat: For spot treatment, use Burt’s Bees Herbal Blemish Stick ($7.99).
Moisturize: Change to a different oil free moisturizer. I like Ambi Clear & Even Daily Moisturizer ($11.99) with SPF 30.
Deep Clean Pores: Acne starts with clogged pores. Keep pores clean by using a mask once per week such as Queen Helene Mud Mask ($3.99).
Exfoliate: Dead skin on top of clogged pores is also a recipe for breakouts. For confirmation, see this Exfoliation Basics article from About.com. Exfoliate at least twice per week with Clean & Clear Daily Pore Cleanser ($4.99) or Garnier Nutritioniste Microbead Cream Scrub ($5.99).

You can call me Tranquil Beauty. After spending a good portion of my life being disillusioned by my mind, I’m finally on a path led by my true self. I'm here because I've been blessed by the wisdom of so many others who powerfully emulate what it means to live guided by their own purpose. I'm profoundly grateful to share the knowledge I’ve gained after being enlightened by Neale Donald Walsch, Rick Warren, Eckhart Tolle, and Shakti Gawain (to name only a few). I feel this wisdom has permeated my being and shifted my focus from the past and the limitations of my mind to a state of pure consciousness that seeks to honor my true self. I've been a personal development fanatic since 1999. Some books that have influenced the website include Friendship with God, The Purpose Driven Life, The Power of Now, A New Earth, and Creative Visualization.
My passion for beauty started at a very young age. Though primarily driven by personal struggles with fine curly hair and combination skin, my beauty expertise grew over the years from devouring numerous beauty publications and trying mounds of products. After wasting piles of money testing top of the line products, I've learned that expensive beauty products aren’t necessarily better products.
Making a commitment to realize your beauty inside and out is a choice each and every moment. I believe strongly that we all have an innate power to create fulfilling lives. I vow to accept nothing less for those who wish to join me on that journey!
