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.
7. Try taking salmon oil supplements (found in health food stores and vitamin shops).
*Always drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods and get exercise.

I know how you feel, as a teen I had very bad acne, but it has gone away since I've gotten older. The best thing you can do is to not pick at them, don't touch your face too much and make sure to keep it clean. As far as what face wash you should use depends on your skin type...Neutragena worked wonders for me. If your acne is really bad, then I would suggest that you try to go to a dermatologist, because they can give you presrciption meds that clear zits up overnight.

I wish u mentioned ur age, for if ur a teenager,this is normal but if u r above 20 u should make hormone tests and an echo for ur ovary especially if ur fat and having unwanted hair over ur face and other body parts.Anyway if u have oily skin ,begin with a cleanser twice a day , use acne fighting products.For more info take on a skin personal evaluation on www.neutrogena.com .This test is excellent to know the right products for ur skin .good luck.

Ok this may sound weird but it really really works....Go to a health place and get Burdock root...its really cheap you would just need about 2 or 3 dollars worth...boil some of it and make like a tea out of it..drink a glass like 3 times a day...its a detoxifier and it will help alot of other stuff too...you can even apply the liquid straight to the skin...you will see a difference in like 3 days or less..oh ...and wash your hands alot..and put new sheets and pillow cases on your bed alot...that helps too...

You should change the message you have playing in your head that makes you feel unworthy of looking him in the eyes just because you have acne! YOU LOOK HIM INTHE EYES BECAUSE YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON AND ARE JUST AS GOOD AS EVERYONE ELSE! Just think you are making him seem shallow, just by what you think! He wouldn't care for that now would he? Most all of us have had acne, or have had other problems so don't feel less worthy because of any of that kind of stuff! GOT IT

i have neutrogena anti-acne face soap that works wonders. Also you can try proactiv which is good at getting rid of acne. if its reallly bad you might want to go on acutain (spelled wrong i think) that is a medication that helps get rid of acne

I was my face with clearisil ultra and then spread a thin layer of toothepaste over them at night. It is tingely, smells good, and really clears your skin up well. it is also a lot cheaper than any acne creams and works jsut as well if not better! Use toothpaste!

Carefully place your face in a belt sander (be sure to wear safety glasses) and the acne will come off with the remainder of your skin. Glad to help!

Dont worry about that. If the guy truly loves you he will not care about the acne.
