Acne is a skin disorder resulting from the action of hormones on the skins sebaceous glands which leads to plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), and outbreaks of cysts or nodules commonly called pimples. They may occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. It is the most common and chronic skin disease. The acne affects most of the teenagers. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group; adults in there 20s - even into there 40s - can get acne. Being not a life threatening health condition, acne is still upsetting and disfiguring as sometimes it leads to permanent and serious scarring.
Causes of Acne
- All forms of acne have their origin in wrong feeding habits, such as irregular hours of eating, improper food, excess of starches, sugar and fatty foods.
- Chronic constipation is another major cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin disease.

My daughter has a sever case of acne usually on her forehead. Well one day her science teacher told her to take an egg seperate the yolk from the egg white and use the yolk a few times a week and this has actually helped her would help more im sure if she continued to do it on a regular basis but shes young..This home remedy for acne is also recommended by many users for acne cure- Brenda
To start off this is what you will need-
1.)St.Ives Swiss Formula Apricot Scrub (blemish & blackhead control) or any apricot scrub.
2.) Any type of rubbing alcohol.
3.) OIL-FREE moisteriser. I use Neutrogena but any oil free moisteriser.
4.) Toothpaste. I use Mentadent Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste, but any will do.
5.) a tube of Clearasil vanishing cream.
Wash your face with the Apricot scrub, making sure you REALLY scrub the affected area. Wash it off with warm/hot water and pat your face dry with a towel. Pop any white heads you have and then apply rubbing alcohol to the affected area. DO NOT apply to your whole face it will dry it out. Then after the rubbing alcohol drys apply toothpaste to ONLY your acne. Let it sit until it drys. wash it off, using the apricot scrub. After apply the clearasil to your acne and let it sit. LAST ! apply the Moisteriser to make sure your face doesnt dry out.
Do this twice a day ( morning and night) and you will see an improvement. My acne started clearing up the next day. You can find all the products at cvs or a pharmacy near you. It works much better than 250 dollar tubes of medicine that dont even work !
try it
Im 15,
Both of parents have or had acne during teenage years.
I wash my face with proavtice, eat about 3 different veggies and 5 different fruit.
I avoid fast food restaurants..It made me feel better in the inside but my skin was still ugly..
My aunt ((nutritionist))
told me to take 2-3 cubes of aloe (plant)
for morning and night.
(better tasting with lemon or orange))
It made my face softer and less red, but my scars are still there.
for a week and half or so I took aloe ((the slimie stuff))
and tea (take out powder on to a plate)
and mixed it together, and used a SOFT BRISTLE ELECTRICE TOOTH BRUSH and gently scrubbed my face in a circular motion for 2 and a half minute.
put the aloe and tea mix on you face first.
it hurts alittle, but DONT PRESS ON YOUR FACE use 30 spf sunscreen,
*the treatment listed above (honey and cinamon) has worked amazingly for me... if u leave it on over night on the blemish areas....u zits will disapeer in up to 3 days!!
1. take the lime and put salt on it and rub your face with it. Its like removing dirt and dead cells.
2. Then take the acohol and apply it to your face to dry up the bumps.
3. then take the toothpaste and apply it, let it dry. Wash off with warm water You will feel the cool air . than you can apply a light moisterizer but something that is not oily.
4. Do it twice a day, you will see a differences .
And also makes blemishes less visable.. . . . .
I'm 15 and had acne since i was 12, but about 7 months ago i started putting things on my face that i thought would work to remove acne (most of it didn't), then i got clear fingernail polish and rubbed it on all of my pimples.i did that for about a week and it did a great job, it dries out your pimples but not your skin. Then i took it a couple steps further, i shut my sink, boiled about 2 gallons of water then poured into sink and stand over the sinkwith a towell over your head. The steam opens your pores. So after that you get alcahol, apply to a cottonball, then apply to your face...
it might seem like alot to do
but this works way better than ne medicine and its practically free except for the alcahol and cotton balls
WHAT DO I DO!!!
I went to my doctor, who prescribed me a roll on liquid for acne on my face and back, it worked for a week, but then it stopped working :(
I drink tonnes of water and have a healthy diet.
I am considering surgery, please help!!!!
i have tryed so many things but (non worked)
then i started to use lemon and sugar mixed and washed my face with it every morning and now im spot free
it really does work. well 4 me anyway
mwahh x
any suggestions?
and be on your way trust me you will see a difference
2 to 3 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 cup boiling water
How to use:-
Steep basil leaves in water for 10 to 20 minutes. cool. strain. Apply to face with a cotton ball.
i have the solutin for you.
i have used neutrogina TISSUES they have orange dots and you can find them at Walmart. they i continued for about a week or 2 with Neutrogina Cream (they can be found at walmart and they are bright orange) Then i have ordered Proactiv and now i am useing Proactive and ONLY practive and MOST of my pimples have lowered and gone away and i assume that if i continue it will go away. But i also think that after all my pimples have gone away you shood continue the treetment with Neutrogena so that it doesnt appear again. u shood really try it u have got NOTHING to lose !!
I strongly recommend toothpaste, but only on the pimples.[very drying]
I feel your pain. I am on differin 0.3% [topical] and orally take tetracycline[antibiotic] with little relief. The best thing that's worked for me is toothpaste. I also have less zits when I'm not stressed.
girls: period time is almost an guarantee for a break-out for many of us. Acne gets worse then due to fluctuating hormones. Sometimes birth control helps, but it's also been known to make acne worse.[individual results vary]
hope this was helpful. Just remember that many people don't notice our acne as much as we think they do and to keep your head up when becoming discouraged with failing treatments.
anyone can tell me what remedy should i use to clear the pimples and blackheads away?
pls!!
take vitamins
eat lots of apples
be a vegetarian, i have been a veg. for over a decade, and my acne is very mild, and it went away completely when i eliminated dairy. animal products are toxic to your body and revolting. go to peta.com if you want to know the truth about what you're eating.
1)find a cleanser works for you (make sure its NOT for acne treatment)
2) And the what every percent of benzoyl peroxide(2.5 % 5% 10%)
3) Last of all a moisterizer (OIL-FREE!!!!) and that wont clogg up your pores.
use it in the order given for step 2 only apply to effected areas or the ones that "look" effected. Mornig an Night. itll take usually about a week but u have to use it everyday to keep ur skin lookin good. (COMPLICATED BUT IT WORKS)
Anyway, best of luck for others out there. Don't let your acne ruin your day
Once you feel a zit coming on, like many people have said, use toothpaste, preferably one that has baking soda in it. (you can also mix baking soda and water to make a paste, I like toothpaste just because it has a cooling effect, which makes me feel like its working, but whatever your prefer.) Put a thin layer on before bed, and rinse in the morning with warm water and your cleanser.
Also, remember to drink LOTS AND LOTS of water, this keeps your body flushed out and clean. :)
I have found this helps A LOT!! I hope this works for you as well!!! good Luck!!!!!
it works bomb
dont use garlic it will give u a rash thats soooooooooo ugly
ice works amazingly it burns for a little bit
but omg wow :] acne free for 3 months
BTW people..DO NOT STICK NEEDLES IN YOUR ACNE OR PORES..it creates scars.
o well... but thanks for the website though cos nothing i did seems to work. i tink i'll go try the toothpaste thing. hope it works. fingers crossed.
hope this helps!!!
o and if u live in new york near bedford hills be sure to stop by this amazing store coming called
"pop vintage". i will be selling my enviironmentaly friendly spa products there!! check it out
I don't know what to do!!! Help!
My grandma told me if you use green tea tree oil it will help reduce acne scars
IF U HAVE ANY GOOD HOME REMEDIES PLZ POST THEM!!!!!!
THANKS!!!!!!
my face wasn't at all to start with..and now its sooo annoying...never use honey and cinnamon
step#.1 try using ( St.Ives Apricot Scrub EXFOLIATING )...make sure u take a good amount but not to much and scrub mostly the ance spots ..i like fast results so i tend to scrub my pimples really hard with it but if your more of the gentle type then just take your time and scrub your face lightly with it, then rinse.
step#2. after you rinsed off the Apricot scrub..try using(Clean&Clear oil free Contunuous Controle ACNE WASH)...its very gentle on your skin and its good for washing off your make-up aswell
step#3. when your done washing your face with both the Apricot scrub and the ance wash ..make sure you have either Alcohol or my personal favourite:-p (OXY deep cleaning daily pags) using either one of these two things help protect your face through out the day from bacteria and also cleans away any of the dirt still left on your face. i ususaly wipe my hole entire face including my neck with the OXY pads or you can also just use a simple cotton swob and apply the alcohal to your face.. but your main focuse should be on those stubborn acne spots ( the alcohal intends to dry out your skin
step#4. befour going to bed try using toothpaste as a final touch derectly on the ance (pimples) i usualy let it stay overnight untill the next morning then rinse but if you dont like sleeping with the toothpaste on your face then just apply it to your acne then let it sit for about 2-5 minutes and then rinse with warm water. it may burn a little bit but this works special for zits and those big juicy pimples that tend to stand out the most
You must apply those things all mentioned above atleast twice a day once in the morning and once befour you go to bed that way the remadie will be effective and keep your face clean aswell which will help prevent the ance from coming back
PS.if your wondering where u can find those products the best and cheapest place to purches them is at ((wal-mart)) or if you want you can try any pharmecy near you. Thanks for reading ii hope my solutions works for you
1. in the AM wash your face with hot water and a wash cloth then to close poors use cold water.
2. DON'T PICK!!! it only makes it spread. if you must only black heads that are ready.
3. This really works, get a juicer and juice whole carrots. Use the foamy stuff on top of the juice and put it all over your face. leave on 30 min. enjoy looking funny & orange. Wash off gently with water only.
4. At night before bed use small amount tea tree oil face wash. pat dry.
5. USE ONLY ON ZITS and only when breakouts are bad. Natures gate acne spot corrector. found at whole foods stores. this stuff is good but like anything it stops working after a while. Use vit E and put on skin at night if it feels to dry.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER, NO SODA, EAT FIBER FOODS, PROBIOTICS HELP, ALSO DETOX TEAS.
Don't use everything you can find in the bathroom and kitchen all at once. too many new things stresses your skin out and only makes things worse.
When all else fails stop everything (including looking in the mirror) and only use water. lets your natural oils heal skin.
Good luck!!!!
then when you have seen a difference on your face you could also use a good face scrub to get rid of acne scars that are still there. it really does work!! try it and see. gudluck...xx
My name is Betsy and I'm 13 years old (grade 9) I don't have severe acne but I don't have mild acne either. It's somewhere in the middle. But whatever it is, I have acne on my forehead. I haven't tried anything because I can't afford it. The only product I use is Apricot Scrub and it didn't really help me. I really need any home made recipes so that I could use them. I also haven't gone through puberty yet so I might have pimples/acne because of hormone change but I want to try anything to get rid of pimples/acne.
Thank You
Thank You
Just a little advice, don't pop pimples! They will give you scars! And scars are hard to get rid of!

St. Ives Apricot Scrub for blackheads and acne
and proactiv refining mask
Old family method when dealing with acne is to apply surgical spirit to your face using cotton pads. (Has to be COTTON PADS ONLY)
Sounds like a really bad idea, but trust me! It works!
When doing this, you will see just how much dirt is actually on your face!
Your face will sting (at times alot) But this means its working to clean your pours and clear away spots.
It has to be done every day in the morning.
Wash your face and apply the spirit. DO NOT WASH OFF
I was sceptical of this method at first. I used clearsil and Oxi spot cream with little success, and my nan told me to use surgical spirit, and promised me that the spots would go as a result.
Within a week, my face was clear.
Went back to Clearsir to prove it wasnt a fluke, and i got covered in spots again, so I went back to the spirit and it blitzed them !!!
I went and saw a homeopathic doctor and since then I have had no acne.
Before getting a homeopathic OR natural remedy from a registered naturopath or ayurvedic doctor I recommend trying a few things for AT LEAST 2 months that have been mentioned by many other people:
*1st try cutting out dairy products & see what happens. If nothing...
*Slowly change to a healthier diet: organic if possible - fresh fruit, veges, good fats and oils, quality grains, free range eggs and good quality protein sources, spring/filtered/boiled water, herbal teas, lemon and honey drinks, 1-2 chlorophyll drinks per day to further alkalize the body, do some form of exercise 3-4 times per week.
*If stressed learn to meditate or do tai chi/yoga etc.
*DONT use most commercial products on your skin - go for naturally and organically made skincare ranges suited to your skin type: check the labels to make sure there are no nasty chemicals - e.g "diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), Bronopol, Blue 1, Green 3, DEC Red 33, Saccharin, Talc, DMDM, Crystalline Silica, MethylParaben, SodiumLaurelSulphate" - you get the idea, anything you cant read or identify is often unsafe for you, but is in most products on our shelves.
*Try natural homemade remedies that people above have suggested. (tea tree for spots etc) - Dont put things like nail polish on your skin!
*Dont wash your face more than twice a day
Dont be afraid of products containing good oils - There are natural products out there that contain plant and essential oils, that are beneficial for and actually bring BALANCE to oily skin!
Dont give up! Everyone can get rid of acne eventually! :)

Each evening, I wash my face with Head and Shoulders then apply the honey mask. The mask consists of honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lime juice. I leave it on for an hour. Rinse with warm water. Then at bedtime, again I wash with H&S, and then I put on Desitin, yes the diaper rash cream. Just a tad on the affected areas, which in my case are my cheeks, just below my cheek bones. In the morning, I wash again with H&S.
I have only been doing this for 2 days, but I will tell you, I can see a difference. My face is so soft, and alot of the redness I was seeing is gone. I am going to continue with this process for a few weeks. I mean it can only get better right.
I am 37 years old, so I have been battling this a long time. So far, I am very pleased with this method. I like the fact I am seeing results after only 2 days!! That's awesome!!!
i mixed baking soda and water together to form a paste. then ileft it on my face until it dried. it will crack and fall of. rinse your face gently with warm water. it will be really red at first. but clean with a gentle face cleanser and the next morning you will see results
btw- it's better to this at night
Do you have sensitive skin,
Do you have really bad acne,
Have u tried all the products on the market if u have there is one more thing to try ........................
Step 1 = Wash face with warm water and use proactive face wash (only the face wash) anf rinse.
Step 2 = cut a lemon in half a rub over face and it starts to work on pimples and black heads
Stap 3 = Apply tea tree oil and leave on
Step 4 = After ten minutes on affected areas rub clearisil ultra vanishing cream over affected area and leave ......
Do this morning and Night
P.S after washing face with face wash splash with cold water............
DONT USE HONEY AND CINIMON IT CAUSES MORE PIMPLES .........................
SAME WITH PANADOL, BAKING SODA
NEVER USE BAKING SODA ON UR FACE EVA IT LEAVES U WITH MAJOUR SCARS AND MAKES UR ACNE/PIMPLES WORSE.............
Hope this helps u it has worked wonder for me and all y friends

BYE
But!NOTE: dont stop using it like i did and all those pimps came
back
So yeah just use that ontop of everything else
Im 17, never had "bad" acne, its been moderate since I was 10.
but for the past 6 months, Iv had really painful pimples and lots of them. more than I ever have had before.
I am currently using proactive, I have been since this whole acne thing started getting bad. honestly, it hasn't helped me one bit.
In the past seven years I have used every cream, gel, wash out there and nothing has really helped me to the point where I feel happy with my skin.
anyone know of something that might work? =(
I am a soon to be dermatoligist and it sounds like a lot of you (example: HELPLESS, a boy who feels his life is in the hands of acne, and MEE who has zits on the hairline)
Anyways so i read all of yours and I have to say thank you. My job is sometimes boring so being able to share advise really helps.
Ok so I'm not going to suggest any products.
1)I am going to suggest not taking any products that you may be allergic to. For example the HOney and Cinnamon home remedie is a very good remedie, unless you are allergic to the honey.
2) When you find a product STICK WITH IT! The most common way to get more pimples is to keep changing your daily routine. Try and stick with a normal routine even if you feel that your acne is getting worse. Usually acne gets worse before it gets better.
3) Remeber to use your resources. If you have pill's take them.
4) Don't stop even if things are already clearing up.
5) everyplace is a good place for a pimple. YOu have no idea what i hav seen throughout my career and I promise having pimples on your chest or back IS NORMAL!
Ok those should help. If not seek a dermatologist and i hope to see you all one day. I am trying to set up a store that sells all natural remedies and cost efficent so come check me out soon.
THanks For YOUr Time,
Dr. Hannah
It works so far I've been trying this for a couple days
(Forgot which one)
i am 15 and have bad acne everywhere
so everytime i wear makeup theres bumps and its not cute
take ice and freeze ur pimple
then take eye visine the one that says (gets the red out)
then put it on
then you take a lotion with Benzoyl Peroxide
i use the Pro Active 3rd step lotion
thanks so much guys
hope this helps!!!!
This is what i did to lighten the spots and TRUST ME it really WORKS.
1.Wash your face with a nice face wash(if u have an oily face,like mine,then go for something which absorbs the oil.This itself should reduce the acne to some level).
2.Do not use any cream cus it only makes the skin even more red.
3.Do not use towels because they might be used by someone else and that dirt might stick to ur face.But a pack of tissue papers and use only that.
4.Apply a paste of Multani Mitti(Fuller's Earth) and mint leaves(crushed or made into a paste).Apply this atleast twice a day.It dries ur skin and u will see the spots lightening to well.This is because of the mint leaves which is wonderful! You can also apply the crushed mint leaves directly on ur face.
5.Before you go to sleep,wash ur face.Apply a paste of Sandalwood powder(mixed with water or mint paste).Leave this overnight.
You should definitely see an improvement in few days.I know it sounds like a long procedure but think of the happy moments when u see the scars fading.
This has worked for me.Hope it does for some of you too.All the best!
Thanks
and don't let acne ruin your life, coz you are beautiful as you are!
Try it.
BYE 4 NOW
The obvious part: Wash your face twice a day, use some kind of toner, then, obviously, an oil-free, fragrance free face lotion. Fragrances can often irritate the skin, I found that out the hard way
The secret: This may sound really gross, but just try it for a week: Drink goat milk instead of Cow's milk. cow's milk has a lot of nasty hormones; and hormones are often the reason behind acne. & G. milk isn't that bad at all, I actually really like it :) Just try it. There's no harm in doing so :)
My Background: I'm fifteen. I have moderate acne on my forehead, back, shoulders, and chest. I've tried various Clean & Clear, Nuetrogena, Olay, and Proactiv products. They helped, be the acne just kept coming back
40 tabs @ 250mg a DAY for 1 month WITH food otherwise stomach will get upset. Try to break it down to 8 times a day of 5tabs each
Second month 30tabs @250mg
Then reduce dose till you get to the lowest tabs per day without breaking out. This could be between 5 or 15tabs a day
Greatly reduces all over oil production, pore size. Only side effect is a grumbling stomach if taken without food.
Do your own research first & talk to a naturopath.
so really ive had no experience in ever curing them so i guess il just have to try some of these.
if you want to give it a go then change your diet, even if temporary it makes u feel good!
second step mild soap, and moisturiser,
eat lots of heathy fruit and vegs, and never never touch your face and if you have too pick a pimple make sure you use tp too keep your fingers away from your skin its key... then make sure too wash your hands.wash you pillows once a week b/c they have bacteria that can make you break out worse when you are sleeping...
I had this big acne on my back
my cuzin grined the garlic added like a tablespoon of water and put it on my back
it stings really badly- but that means its working
when i washed it off like half odf the acne was gone
so it really works
i reccomend it
right now i'm using it on my face and it burns like in hell lol
good luck
If i cant get out of the habit of touching my face, I will wear gloves when I can.
To people who are wanting to use proactive,
it didnt work for me. It might for you, im not sure.
just saying.
i have been told that tooth pste works well by a number of people but i havent tried..
P.S can someone please give me suggestion that will work?
but if it is keeping your head down, I can reccomend some tips that will shine thru inside and out :)
Stars like Drew Barrymore uses this) To get rid of a zit - Mix Yeast in a bowl, adding drops of bottled water as you stir. Continue until it becomes a medium paste. Squeeze in some lemon juice and mix again. Use your usual face wash and then pat face dry. Apply mixture to needed area. Wash off in the morning.
Michelle Branch uses this) For an exfoliating treatment - grind almonds till they turn to powder. Add oatmeal, honey, and lavender oil (at health food stores) to the almond powder and mix into a paste. wash with normal cleanser then gently apply scrub evenly to entire face (avoiding delicate eye area) and wash off after 20 seconds.
*Hope these helped. They are natural and not chemical remedies ( which tend to cause depression ) so they are healthier and more efficent to human's delicate and special skin. Just remember, your acne doesn't define who you are, and it doesnt rule you. Just take care of yourself and try not to stress. Jesus loves you :)
plz suggest me how tu remove old scar??????
make sure you wash your face with medicated facial soap 2-3 times a day. You are out and about, sweating, not to mention all the hormones pumping through your body. So wash your face in the morning, after school, and before bed. Use facial lotion at night to prevent dryness, but dont over do it. Make sure you wash your pillowcases twice a week, oils get soaked up and get put right back on the skin. Same goes for your hair, if it touches your face at all, wash it daily. And the BIGGEST thing is to NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE! I know you worry about it, but picking and touching it only makes it worse. Try your best not to pop-it only causes scars. If you wake up in the morning with a bright red zit-wash and lotion like normal- you can even apply a drop or two of visine to take away redness just make sure the tip doesnt touch. these simple easy to follow steps are all you need. I promise
- Wash ur face 3 times a day, dont touch ur face without washing hands.
- i use toothpaste because it dries out pimple.
-CHANGE THE WAY U EAT ( no dairy)
- Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours.
If this doesn't help go see a dermatologist!
Acne has nothing to do with what you eat. Biggest myth of them all.
Im going to try the Baking Soda and water on. I only have a few pimples on my forehead but i do have black heads on my nose so hopfully this will wok!
The oils and chemicals in make-up make all your pimples/acne worse instead of better. Even if it does cover it, it will not help the real problem. I would advise you NOT to wear make-up to cover pimples. Then try to find a solution that will work for clearing up the pimples/acne. But if you feel as though you MUST wear make-up use Organic make-up products.
Good luck!

1. Steam Face
2. Eat lots of fruits and veggies
3. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day!
4. Use Organic Facial Cleanser
5. Treatment-essential oils. Use tea tree, lavender, and jojoba oil and put on face.
All of these really work! I work at a day spa and I buy the oils from a lady that is a massage therapist there. But those are the only oils in it. Also if you do a pore cleansing mask 2-3x a week it makes a big difference! I make them at home out of fruit. My favorite one is Blueberries and lemon together! I hope this works for some of ya'll!
also try sandalwood, rosewater and lemon juice
I'm 15, and have tried neutrogena, which works the best for me personally; clean and clear; acne free; clearasil; and a few other brands for acne treatment.
In all that, I learned that it is a waste of money. Many of these brands have EXTREMELY harmful chemicals that will only work for a limited amount of time. I've found that EVERYONE'S SKIN IS DIFFERENT, so don't just go with whatever your friends use.
Try home rememdies, since they will give you the least amount of damage to your skin. And don't go from a .2% benzoyl peroxide acne treatment to a 10% one. The extreme change will just cause a HUGE breakout.(ie, clean and clear acne 3-step system.)
-ayay.
It's fabulous. I use it every other day every other week. Wear it to bed and in the morning wash it off in the shower.
Good luck.
n also wat should i use for taking care os my skin?
I'm not anti-doctors, I just happened to see one who never even came fully into the room. Nope, he just stood in the door and wrote the Rx. Since I've had such good luck, I've gotten more and more into herbal and holistic healing. I believe that both "modern" medicine and common sense herbs play an equal role in health care.
my doctor has gave me alot of creams but none of them seem to work, except they only make my skin darker and more dry. Any Suggestions?
and wht is buttjuice?
PLS HELP!!!
ps, tell your fiance what your doing other wise he may think you're a little crazy Hope this helps
1. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week with St. Ives. Don't scrub your face hard... it will only cause more breakouts. Just enough to remove dead skin.
2. Once a week apply a honey mask. Put pure organic honey on your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Don't do this more then once a week.
3. Every morning and night cleanse your face with a gentle acne cleanser using LUKE warm water. Too hot or too cold water will ruin your skin. I like Avenno brighting cleanser (its a foam), gentle on sensetive skin.
4. When drying you skin, pat DO NOT RUB. You'll see the diffrence and your skin will feel better.
5. take a cotton pad and swipe over your face with a moisterizing toner. This keeps skin soft and even. I like oil of olay. I'd stay away from those harsh astringents. They caused me more breakouts.
6. Apply clean and clear acne gel on your infected areas ONLY. Don't put it anywhere near your eyes or cheeks. I think its too drying to apply all over.
7. Apply clean and clear acne moisterizer. Its so soothing and non oily.
8. Drink lots of water and steer away from fast foods when possible.
9. Take a good multi vitimin
10. NEVER SLEEP IN MAKEUP
11. don't pu too much products in your hair
12. DO NOT PICK YOUR PIMPLES!!! If you must sit over a pot of hot water and steam your skin. Allow the pimple to come to a head. Gentely press with your clean fingers only. Using sharp objects will leave ugly scars you'll wear for years. (I'd rather have a pimple face then a spotted one. )Apply acne gel right after to reduce redness and help it heal faster. I'd do this before I go to bed that night.
Using these methods You should see a diffrence in as little as a month.
it took a few months
just be patient darlings. it'll go away :)
and belive me. i had it quiet bad.
anywho. my skinn still had red blotchy spots that WONT go away. any suggestions?
I kinda switched the ingredients a bit....1 whole banana,2 orange peels, 1 spoonfull of honey...pureed in blender nd saved in a container...then i leave mask on for like 1 hr....IT REALLY WORKS!!!!! but there might be a slight tingling sensation due to orange peels...so if u hav sensitive skin reduce the amt of orange peels
I have been using it for the past 3 days and it really works wonders! My scars reduced redness and my acne stopped coming!!!Plus i now have baby soft skin!!!!
I buy neem capsules from organixsouth.com
Dont use antibacterial handsoap on your face !! Especially if you have sentive skin ! One time, I accidently washed my face with it and got a bad rash all over my face that lasted three days and made my face even more bumpy. There's a reason they call it HAND soap and not face soap.
Benzoyl works at first but after using it for a while it stops working. Its also bad for your skin and it smells gross.
Oh and dont wash your face a ton of times.
People say you can do that to get rid of the zit fast, but its just gonna hurt your face and cause more acne.
If you literally have tried all of these remedies and still have zits, go to a doctor. But if you haven't tried all of these, try them cuz they're the best option (:
-D
The best this to do is to put a schedule of the masks ur going to use for a week and STICK TO IT !!!
You'll see how natural things work, I've tried MANY masks and they're all amazing but I want to tell you about the masks that many people use just to make sure it works for you too ;)
You should try the yogurt mask and the ingredients are: 2 tablespoons of oat meal, 3 tablespoons of bio yogurt, 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of water, mix them together and apply to the face, Leave it for 15-20 mins and be sure to put a thick layer on the pimples.
The next mask is amazing and it's not just a mask but also a toner ;)
The ingredients for the mask are : 1 teaspoon of cider vinegar, 2 teaspoon of green tea, 7 teaspoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of honey, Mix them together and apply on ur face for 10 mins and don't forget to massage ur face with the mixture, Use the mask 2 Times a week and the mixture lasts for 2 weeks in the fridge.
And for the Toner : Fill a glass jar to the third with cider vinegar and the other two thirds with green tea, Shake it up real good ( you can add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice for more healthier skin ;) )
Apply the toner after the mask with a cotton then u can apply a moisturizer but I never do that cuz I always like to keep it natural ;)
Hope that was useful for you, And please try to stay away from chemical stuff and start searching for natural masks and cures they are much better ask someone who already used both
And never forget to drink water and eat fruits and vegetables, also be sure your diet include zinc and vitamin A .
Live your day like it's the last day and don't depress your self with the Acne cuz acne gets more because of depression
Hintt: if your wanting your zits to not be as red, try mixing oats with your facewashes, it works well! :)
I dont have very bad acne, theres just a few of those REALLY annoying pimples that are under the skin, that take foreverrrrrr to go away, and i just was my face with clean and clear morning burst, everynite, and clearsil wipes in the morning, and my face is pretty clear i guesss, so try that! hope i helped!
1-Lots of water. Drinking NOTHING but water as well as...
2-Green tea, oolong tea, and white tea. DO NOT ADD SUGAR. Drink seltzer water too. Stay away from soda(even diet soda) and limit sugary fruit juices.
3-Wash face 2x daily (morning and night) with TheraNeem facial complexion soap. You can get it at Whole Foods or order it online. It's nearly $7 for one bar but it's worth it. TRUST ME IT WORKS. Just cut the bar into smaller pieces to stretch it out. It's a large bar and you don't need the whole thing to wash your face.
4. Use an oil free moisturizer, preferably with alpha- and beta-hydroxy fruit acids. I use Kiss My Face-Peaches and Cream formula.
5. Take fish oil, flaxseed and borage oil capsules. The good fatty acids help to clear your skin.
High doses of vitamin C - up to 8000 mgs a day plus evening primrose oils.
Environ is a great skin care option. can be a little expensive. Its a south african brand. But think curing acne is from the inside out anyway. So good basics like neutrogena should work for cleansing and moisturising, while you focus on fixing from the inside.
I am making him wash his face every night with a mixture of brown sugar and honey and then to rinse it off with water. I told him to only patt his face with the towel not to dry his face too hard just patt.
Then to appy the aloe vera plant, the slimmy sutff to his face and to leave it over night.
I also told him not to pinch, or squeeze his pimples not to even touch it with his fingers cause inside our nails we have alot of germs and dirt.
This morning his face was a lot much better, not so red. I will post how it goes!
-triphla powder [regulates bowel]
-manjistha kwath [blood purifier]
-haridrakhand
belive the amazing result with attractive skin
As for home remedies, I have heard that mixing crushed Asprin with a little bit of water to make a paste will help also.
I'm about to start using it again. What also works on getting rid of the redness is using ice! I also tried the clean and clear advantage kit it worked pretty Well. You can get it at wall mart for about 16 dollar's. I have bad acne scars. Any suggestions? Does Bio oil work?
its scary how much dirt comes off your face..
it stings so dilute it with water.
