Acne Natural Remedies

Archive for October, 2008

I have prom in four days and I have some acne bumps on my face nothing from the store is helping. Are there any at home remedies that I can use to help clear it up at bit before prom?

i know this might sound crazy, but try scrambling up an egg and spread it on your face, let it dry, and then wash you face with your everyday cleanser..repeat day and night

can u help me remove these acne scars using home remedies??? pls help me.......my mom doesnt want me to use any products cause my skin is kinda sensitive.............i want to cure it naturally......pls help me.......

Vitamin E, pop it and rub into skin.. works wonders! It's best to do taht as soon as you get the cut, blemish, or wounds.

I have some acne on my face that I dont want no more and I heard that home remedies work really well on taking it off.

Don't put toothpaste on. It does work for some people, but if you've never tried it before, then it can actually make your skin worse. I visited the doctor and he gave me some lotion that has really helped within a month, and now my skin is really clear. He'll know what's best for you, so don't try the chemist either. They could get it wrong, or it'll take longer than what the doctor has given you. Don't feel ashamed either, it's not as embarrassing as some illnesses and they deal with mainly teenagers that have the same problem as you! Good luck!

Hey! I have oily skin that shines reeeeeally fast if any lights are on me and its embarrassing at school as well. If I wash it with soap it gets reeeeeeeeeeally dry, going from one extreme to the other.
Anyone else have the same problem? (When I say it gets oily fast let say from 7:30 it starts at about 9:30 through the whole day, embarrassing!)

I just want something to keep the shine under control and keep my acne at bay. Then I will be happy no matter what happens (serious)

Please help me. I will be eternally grateful if it works! (Home remedies. Also I live in Australia)

One more thing. My school is dusty which probably doesnt help.

2 tbs Organic unrefined Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 8 oz or so of water. Drink it in the morning and before bed. Will alkalize your body and balance the oils etc... Also as long as you avoid too much grain and sugar, it will also rid you of acne and protect you against a host of other things like colds and flu. Good Stuff!

ive tried several but all theyve done is make my face smooth for the rest of that night, then the next day its back to how it was before. i also heard of oatmeal, havent tried that one yet. any ideas?
and i also need help with clearing left over acne scars and red marks!
and i also need help with clearing left over acne scars and red marks and prevent more acne from appearing!

People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.

Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..

There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.

Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer, and contributes to scarring. Acne scars will fade in time.

Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.

Do not suggest over the counter products please. I've tried everything. I need home remedies that are simple to make and use.

Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you’re allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them…what have you got to lose other than the acne!!

1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.

2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It’s supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.

3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.

4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.

5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.

6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.

is there any good ones for quick removal? im kinda broke right now, lol.

break an egg, take the white-thin film off (it's right under the shell), put enough of that film to cover the whole zit.

I have a serious case of acne. (Well, actually its just random red spots and alot of bumps that are not red) I've been using "Acne Free" medication and it works a little--better than not using it at all, but it doesn't work all the way. I'v also used clearasil but that just made that acne worse for me. So I was wodering if anyone knew any good HOME REMEDIES that I could use. I've searched on the internet but, I want some actual comments and suggestions from as MANY PEOPLE as possible. Please help me and thank you.
I also would like some information on using toothpaste for acne if you could.

Some people swear toothpaste works, others swear it doesn't. It's worth a try putting it on before you go to sleep to see if it does work, just a small blob. For me it doesn't work but I have a friend who does it all the time and says it works for her.
TCP is good, but you smell of it for maybe a couple of days- no matter how many showers!

Drink lots of water, it flushes out the germs and is good for your skin.
Try not to touch your face, it will only spread the spot germs/bacteria.

I am currently using Clearasil as well as doing the last two tips I mentioned and my spots seem to be clearing up.

What are some home remedies to get rid of acne. Cuz i think it makes me look ugly but im lookin for ways to get rid of it

I've used this system called Exposed, and it works like a charm. I'm still using it right now, just not as much because my skin is 10 times better. Clear, smooth, and GLOWING. Give it a try.
