how many times a day with alcohol?

Well for starters you can clean out the pores by putting hot water in a bowl then put your face over the steam, and to make all the steam go only to your face put a towel over your head so that no cold air gets near your face, that will close up your pores.....then wash your face with a soap with no scent or a face wash like neutragena or clean and clear or something like that, but make sure you wash with cold water. Then add an oil free moisturizer so that your natural oils wont fill your pores which causes acne. At night before you go to bed grind up an asprin and add a couple drops of water so that it makes a paste then put it on any major pimples, they should be gone the next day

I don't get a lot of pimples but when I do they annoy me so bad. Does anybody have any remedies for sensitive skin ?
