Is alcohol on your face a good way to clean your pores and is it damaging to your face?

It really depends on your skin, everyone is different and some things work for some people. I can speak from experience. When I was about 15 Yrs Old I started using a few cotton balls put some alcohol on and sit in front of the TV twice a day and just rub my face with them. I never broke out and never had a pimple from my teens to about 27 yrs old. The dirt that came out onto the cotton balls was gross and my skin was always smooth. I had a bad allergic reaction to something I ate and my skin was red and irritated so I stopped using everything. I decided to go with different cleansers, moisturizers etc. I broke out so bad and got acne all over my face. Then I go to the derm and start Retin A (Worked but still got pimples after a year of using). Tried Accutane ( Gross, stopped after 3 days ). Went to OCM, Proactive, Home Remedies etc over the next 7 years. Nothing worked and my skin was getting scars and looked horrible. It was dry all the time. I tried honey, green tea, Tea Tree, clay, masks, you name it I tried it trust me. I changed my diet, liquids, raw food, whole grains etc. I spent ALOT of money and time and stress trying to get my skin back to normal, hours upon hours of research. I figured something had to work but it never did. So I dealt with it and did the best I could. Finally 10 Years later I thought of when my skin looked and fealt the best and what am I doing differently. I remembered the Alcohol, but everyone said not to use it. I had nothing to lose so I went back to what worked for me. 6 days later my skin was healing, NO bumps and anything I had that was under the surface ready to come up was gone. My skin is clear and fresh, I am finally getting myself back to the way I was :-) I use Alcohol on cotton balls twice a day for like 15 Mins. Immediately after I put about 5 drops of Jojoba Oil and 2 drops of Lemon Oil (Only Pure oil) on my face and rub it in. Then let my skin soak it up and apply my foundation and make up. Morning and before bed. Why didn't I do this earlier? I finally feel good and love looking in the mirror now. I will not say this is a cure all and will not imply that it will work for you. ALL I can say is it has worked for me and I love spending $1.50 for Alcohol, $7.00 for Jojoba Oil and $8.00 for Lemon Oil. This lasts me 3 months and my skin is beautiful and glowing. I hope this helps and again EVERYONE is made different so it may work and it may not. 10 Years of trying and all I had to do was think back on what I did before my skin went Psycho!
