prom is next saturday, and i need to get rid of some mild acne, what home remedies can i use?

I have just a little bit of ance on my face, chest and back that i would like to clear up, any home remedies out there that can clear it up a bit by next saturday?

okay so this is what my mom told me to do because for big events i stress out too and break out. So I hope you know what aloe is because your going to need the actual plant.

first what you do is pop the pimples, i know it hurts but the gunk has to come out other wise you'll scar with spots on your face. so what you do is:
***wash your hands before anything!***
1) pop the pimple
2) get alcohol on a cotton and clean the area [bacteria can get on the skin around it and spread]
3) you need to get an aloe plant and cut a corner of it, aloe is slimmy when you cut it but its got healing agents that will heal your acne fast. you put the slimmy part on the pimple or zit. It'lll feel gross but let it dry on your skin. leave it on for like 5 min and then wash the area your face and back. so if you need too take a shower.

*do this everyday until it goes away, it should only take like 3 days for it to completely disappear your acne.

-also to keep it away do some natural facials at home

*you'll need honey and a banana
1) get half a banana and smash it up into a paste with a fork
2) get a tablespoon of honey and mix it all together
*apply it to your face and in the end your face will feel sooo soft

Any home remedies for acne that work?

My pimples aren't big, they are small but the get really red. so even if they are small they are really noticeable. for some girls toothpaste works but for me it doesn't do anything. so any good home remedies for acne?

Acne Marks or Scars

Here is a simple tip that you can use to reduce your acne scars and pigmentation.

The Oil Cleansing Method
What you will need:
Warm Water
Cold Water
Clean Towels
Castor Oil
Olive Oil

The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface.

You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute.

Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel.

Next mix a small amount of castor oil with a small amount of olive oil. A 50/50 ratio will do just fine. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it stay there for 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and you are good to go.

how can i heal my acne scars fast naturally?

i heard lemon juice works but it stings a lot and ive noticed that whenever i eat citrus fruits i break out by my mouth, so i dont think it would be a good idea to slather something acidic on my face. but i heard honey does well in treating scars though?

Yes, both lemon juice and honey work great for getting rid of scars naturally. You can try this homemade face mask for acne it works great for getting rid of scars.
