How to prevent acne?? HELP?

i'm 13 and going into 9th grade in the fall. my sister is 2 years older than me and had really bad acne for around 1.5 years, now it is moderate to low. i had really clear, nice skin up until a couple months ago where i got a couple pimples here and there. suddenly i have really bumpy, uneven skin. there are a couple small pimples but most of the bumps aren't as noticeable because they're not very red but they still make my skin look very uneven. sorry, this is kind of hard to explain. anyway it really bothers me and i think its only getting worse. by the way, my sister started getting bad acne the summer going into 9th grade. does that mean i will be the same? please, give me any tips about getting clear, smooth skin? any good products or diy remedies or things to eat/not to eat or anything! i really want clear skin. thanks :)

    Use sea salt and water. Put warm water into a small clean cup, add warm to hot water. Then add about half a tablespoon of sea salt in the 1/4 cup of water. Mix well and apply it to ur pimples wit a qtip. After take more sea salt and dab the dry grains over the mixture for extra security. Let it dry for at least 10 minutes. Then wipe the dry salt off and u will sea a change repeat over and over again. Im 15 and i have deep skin pimples that appeared out of nowhere the day i started summer school. -.- (today) im currently doin the sea salt soak and itbworkin for me. I not sure about regular salt though..

    Wash your face twice a day.

    Most recommended product is the WAVE by neutrogena that is the best thing it's helped me a lot my acne was bad it's gotten sooo much better.

    Also try to wear a pony tail to sleep and get blotting sheets when your sweating, sweat causes pimples.

    Don't wear makeup to sleep.

    The best makeup to wear is dream pure bb cream or neutrogena face clearing makeup. But it's better to wear powder instead of foundation because powder absorbs the oils on your face that causes acne.

    Acne is basically an infected pour, don't think of it as a pour think of it as your ear lobes when you first get them pierced, you have to clean them so they won't get infected or clogged. If a pimple turns into a scab DONT PICK AT IT! I have a Scar on the side of my face it's not big but it's a scar from picking a scab. Just keep your face clean and your face looks better if you apply moisturizers to it.

    #1 tip- Don't be a couch potato! Excersize and eat vegetables! and drink a lot of water!
