skin. cure for blemishes

hey guys 

i have some minor blemishes on my cheeks, so marks from old spots. i occasionally get a less pleasant one, maybe every 2 months but i think that is normal for my age, it is all to do with hormones. 

i also know that drinking water is the key. i take a clear complexion, omega 3 and zinc pills everyday. i have also heard of retin-a? 

as a model i am pressurised to have impeccable skin but it's not always easy just from having make up put on and taken off, sometimes around 4 times a day. 

i have been suggested to go on the pill but i was wondering if anybody has been through this? any tips or tricks? thank you x  

would you be willing to go to a dermatologist and spend like 30 bucks every 3ish months? ....in hs i had some acne, not really bad, but it was still annoying so i saw a dermatologist that was covered under my health insurance and was prescribed differin. it's $30 and depending on how much you use it it can last between 2-4 months, and it works REALLY REALLY well- i get complimented on my skin a lot. besides that i just try and drink a lot of water and stay away from oily/greasy foods

like above, differin worked fantastic for me while I lived in philadelphia. I recently moved to tucson,and the dry weather coupled with differin really dried out my skin, and it came back, with a vengeance. So I switched to a more natural solution : apple cider vinegar, dilluted with water. Spray some on a cotton round, and wipe it on your face, then look at the round...  its gross, all the dirt from the day will show up on the pad, and you can't even tell that is on your face. vinegar has been working well as of yet (4 months on ACV)
