you should be using a facial wash that contains tea tree oil and then you need to hydrate your skin with a good moisturizer. skin is our largest organ and it needs to be treated with a delicate touch. you shouldn't be putting those toxic drying products they sell for teens on your skin especially without taking the proper steps to hydrate. you know the acne will go away so just try and commit the least damage possible so you don't have acne scars all over.

Isn't acne the pits?
Let me tell you that there are many natural products that will help. eg lavender oil, mixed with crushed oatmeal, and used as a scrub, will help.
Teatree oil will also work, as will oil of cloves.

Have a look at this page as well:

all the best.

Tea tree products are very good, anti-bacterial and antiseptic. OK you have to buy them, but not expensive

Have you tried menty toothpaste on your bumps. Only on the infected areas then maybe a mild moisturizer after its healed.

- It works on mine & my sons & my hubby's when we get bumps. Something about it draws the infection to the surface. It also works on body zits.(not to sound gross)

- Yes. My mom isnt a doctor or anything but she said that a white minty toothpaste can help but she warned that it would sry my skin. Well i had one zit that was worse than the others (i dont have a TERRIBLE case of acne but enough bumps to annoy me that wont go away! lol) so i tried the toothpaste for a few nights and all of a sudden i woke up this orning and that area of my face was dry, red and peeling.Its painful! But now that you mention it, moisturizer after the toothpaste does sound like a good idea. I'll definatley do that in the future.THANK YOU SOOO MUCH LIZ IZ HERE!!!

- you don't sound like an idiot hon, I'm glad its doing better. I know how annoying & embarrassing it can be. the drying & peeling sometimes can be your skins way of healing. Like when you have a boo boo & it scabs over when its healed & peels off after its healed. It will be red for a couple of days but sometime you can use a dab of concealer or makeup to lighten the redness & blend it with your skin tone so that its not as noticable. But be careful that it too don't irratate your skin. Take care hon & have a great labor day weekend.
