    I used to give my face a sauna (bowl of boiling water and a towel over my head), that helped. Then when all the pores are open give your face a good scrub. Try to avoid regular soap as it tends to be over drying and can block the pores

    Easy Non-Toxic Acne Remedies

    Here are a couple of non-toxic, relatively inexpensive acne remedies to try:


    Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to affected areas at bedtime; let stand overnight; repeat every night for a week.
    With a cotton ball, apply a few drops of tea tree essential oil to affected areas.
    These ideas probably work best on mild acne situations, mostly on the face and chest

    There is a Johnson & Johnson product on the market called Clean & Clear oil-free dual action moisturizer, which costs less than $ 4.00 for a four ounce bottle. It contains enough salicylic acid (a beta-hydroxyl acid) to slough off the dead skin cells without all the accompanying redness and dryness. Allow at least two to four weeks to notice improvement.


    Any alpha hydroxyl skin lotion (like Alpha Hydrox, etc.) will also help to remove the dead skin cells and keep acne blemishes at a minimum. These products need about two to four weeks of use to notice a difference.


    Any eye drops with the redness reliever, tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, applied to individual blemishes with a cotton swab helps to reduce the redness of the blemish so it is less noticeable!

    Zinc supplements taken on a daily basis will help clear-up and/or prevent acne in many people. It's inexpensive, and even the generic brand works.

    Toothpaste works, but won't dry out your skin as much.

    Make sure you wash morning and night (with soap
    and water), make sure to change your pillowcases
    every week. Wash your hair at least twice a week.
    Don't drink anything with caffiene in it. Take a
    multiple vitamin daily.

    if you go to your doctor they can give you some lotion to use. it works because my best friend used to use it when we were at school.

    home remedies

    Tea Tree Oil - The use of tea tree oil to blemishes can help to eliminate bacteria and reduce redness

    Egg Whites - Egg whites are also good for curing acne. Clean your skin thoroughly with a cleanser and apply egg white with a cotton swab. Doing this will help to remove acne.


    applying lemon juice regulary as been proven to help acne


    Grind nutmeg with unboiled milk and apply on affected area. This works as a magic. Pimples should disappear without leaving a mark


    Cleanliness:
    Cleaning your face by washing it in warm salty water will leave it oil-free without aggravating the acne.


    Diet:
    A healthy diet acts as a natural acne home remedy. So, include fresh fruits and vegetables, at least five servings a day, in your diet.

    Drinks:
    Drinking lots of water generally prevents most skin problems. To find out how much you should drink, divide your body weight in half and drink at the least that many ounces of water a day. Nettle tea is another herbal solution that effectively counters acne.


    Ice:
    Icing down acne lessens the swelling noticeably. It works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.

    Whatever you do, don't pop your pimples! Aloe works great with skin problems. Rubbing aloe on the trouble spots will heal skin irritations with no scaring. (The plant - not creams or ointments. Cut a leaf off, shave off the skin and rub the gel like inside on the red spots.)
