What is a good home remedy to treat acne?

Question

I've got blackheads all over my nose, and they havnt gone away for almost two years. I always have at least one really bad pimple, and as soon as it goes away (which takes a while) a new one flares up right away. Is there anything that has had successful and FAST results for you? please let me know! thanks :-)

Gather all materials beforehand -- see "Things You'll Need" below. You might want to store them in a waterproof resealable bag, such as Ziploc. I'd recommend wearing either old clothes or a bathrobe over whatever you are wearing. There is a definite possibility this is going to spill. After you have found everything on you checklist, head to a large, flat, waterproof surface. This is probably your bathroom. Having this room be private is highly advised; you can't just say, "Get out, I'm flattening a pimple," can you?

Things You'll Need
- 3 or more cotton balls
- Lukewarm tap water
- Cup to hold the water in
- Salt

The Method
1. Salt the water thoroughly -- much more than you think it needs.
2. Dip one cotton ball in the salt water.
3. Wait for 30 - 60 seconds.
4. Squeeze out excess water out until it is damp, but not dripping.
5. Place the damp cotton ball over your large, oh-my-goodness-I-cannot-go-to-... zit. If you have several of these grouped together, try to place the cotton ball over them all.
6. Glance at your watch/clock. Wait exactly three minutes.
7. Remove the cotton ball after the time is up. The zit seems to be nearly gone, but it is only the top that has dissolved. Your acne is still there.
8. Take the other two cotton balls and place them on either side of the despised pimple.
9. Slowly, move them closer together until the tiny bump is flattened. Congrats! You've just conquered that giant of a pimple -- forever!
10. Apply honey on the infected area & go to sleep!!

Tips
*Don't forget the last 3 steps -- they are crucial.
*Be sure to follow these steps closely. Dipping a cottonball in fresh water as opposed to salt will not work, for instants.
* You might want to bring a book -- either waterproof or one that you do not care about being splattered in water. Those three minutes can get boring.
* This is your best bet for monster zits that simply sneak up on you. For long-term healthy skin, cleansing and toning is also important.

Warnings
* Please, PLEASE, do not assume this is permission to "pop" pimples. Doing so can cause major scarring. Please don't pop them.
* If you stop after the top is dissolved, I must warn you: it WILL come back! Maybe not in the next five minutes, but during the course of an hour, it will come back!

If you feel new pimples erupting, ice it! Hold an ice cube over the area for about 5-10 minutes. It REALLY works!!!

If you have too many pimples/whiteheads/blackheads/... I recommend you to try Carley's Clear & Smooth!! It's CHEAPER & BETTER than Proactive!! People are raving about this product!! Read their feedbacks/reviews!!

For blackheads, this is the EASIEST & the BEST treatment you'll try!!
Rub a teaspoon of fine salt all over your face gently & wash off!! And you'll notice that your blackheads are gone (not completely but some of them must be gone) & your skin is smooth!!! You'll be amazed! Try it NOW!! Repeat this proccess twice/thrice a week!!

Follow with an egg white mask! Whip an egg white until frothy & slather it on your face. Wait until it dry & wash off with warm water. Then, a splash of cold water. But you don't have to do the egg white mask everytime you did the salt scrub. Once a month is enough but you must to do the salt scrub twice/thrice a week!

GOOD LUCK!!

For the pimples, try toothpaste. Really, I know it sounds wierd, but dab some toothpaste on the pimple twice a day and that should dry it up in like 3 or 4 days. Make sure you rinse of the toothpaste off after about 30 min. or so. Don't pop it! Don't even try, it could spread or pop under the skin and cause more break-outs under the skin.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Best home remedy for black heads is brown sugar. Take some sugar period add a lil water. Scrub your face with it. Its like a homemade exfoliant it sands off that dead layer off your skin. The blackheads on your nose should sand off if used a couple times a week but not everyday. Once your done with that take some rubbing alcohol and rub your face with a cotton balls. Its gonna burn but beauty in exchange for a little pain is worth it. Put some coco butter lotion on your face so your face wont be to dried out from the alcohol. For that one big pimple that wont go away put a lil tooth paste on it and let it sit on it over night.

Acne Home Remedies


Diet and Good Nutrition
Good nutrition is the foundation for healthy skin. A well-balanced diet will ensure that your body receives the vitamins and mineral it needs to support and maintain the health of the skin. Foods rich in sulphur, such as onions and garlic, may be particularly helpful to those who suffer from acne. There are also several nutritional supplements that may be helpful in the maintenance of healthy skin. Supplements of b-complex vitamins as well as vitamin C, and A are very important for the strength, growth, and vitality of the skin. Vitamin E and the mineral zinc orotate are also useful supplements as they both contain antioxidants that can help protect the skin from damage. And don't underestimate the power of water. Water helps to hydrate the skin, plump up the glands, and move waste and nutrients through the system. Plan on drinking at least six to eight glasses of purified water each day to keep skin healthy and deter the development of acne.

well, I have trouble with blackheads and zits and I think that acne free worked really well. You can get it at walgreens, wlamart, or target. A home remedyfor both acne and blackheads is mixing 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 3 tbsp. milk and rubbing the mixture on your face and leave it there for one minute then rinsing it well with warm water. Also eating good can help partially with blackheads and acne.
