For shampoos, I would recommend Herbal Essences because it smells SO good. I love the scent on me, I love the scent on other people. If someone uses Herbal Essences and they walk by you, you'd KNOW they're using it. But for now, I'm using Dove's shampoo for my "quick showers" and I use got2b's "2 sexy" for when I'm going out and I need to volumize and style my hair.
For lotion, I use Aveeno's Daily Lotion (the unscented, oatmeal kind that comes in the tan bottle with green labels). My body gets really dry after I shower, so I put it on after I dry myself off. Yes, I literally put lotion on my WHOLE body just to keep it from being flaky and cracking. However, sometimes I use Bath & Body Works' stuff because they smell really good and they're as moisturizing as Aveeno. However, they're more expensive! But I think it's worth it. Don't forget to use sunscreen!
For acne, I'm not really sure what to recommend. I used to have a little acne, but now that I'm on Birth Control Pills, they're gone! My face is super clear! I don't know if that's an option for you or if you will react well to the pills though. Each person is different!
And one more recommendation: For lip balm, Burt's Bees is the best!
Hope that helps.

I also Use Dove Shampoo Intentese Moisture. It smells Nice. I think After I'm done I'm going to try herbal essence. Have you heard of Dove weighless foam conditioner? BEST CONDITIONER EVER!!!! It makes your hair so weighless and soft and smoooth. Also it smells intensely nice. The secret solution to getting rid of acne Is Benzoyl peroxide wash and a moisturizer. All you really need is continous washing with your face with atleast a 2% face wash with Benzoyl peroxide in it and applying face with a moisturizer to keep your face moisturized and that = clear skin! See i think that Proactiv is really a Jip. They take that into some kind of magical acne clearing, but the solution is really simple. Try Clean & clear Continous acne wash It contains 10%!!!! Of Benzoyl Peroxide while Proactiv's washes contains only 2.5! The clean and clear is the Purple cream cleanser one you can find at any drugstore for on 5-6 bucks! That way you don't have to spend 60 bucks on pathetic dermatologist trying to fool you to believing their stuff is magical and works. Besides they make you use their stuff forever. They send products every 2 months and you'll need to pay for it! If you're wondering what Benzoyl peroxide is. It's the only thing acne can't get used to and it will never stop working. It kills acne causing bacteria. As for moisturizer use any you're comfortable with. Just try Oil free ones. Also Apricot scrubs are the best to getting rid of black heads and dead skin cells! Also like marks left behind from acnes! St Ives Salycid acid acpricot scrubs! The green Mint Julip Masque Is also good to getting rid of acne. Leaving skin fresh and smooth. These are great combos! Do you use make up? I like make up. Make up is fun. If you use powder Use Corn silk powders. It comes on you so natural! It's not cakey, it doesn't clog pores, AND IT SMELLS GOOD. I mostly use eyeshadow and apply some lipgloss. But i'll shut up now.
