I've heard tons of skin care tips, and I've been skepticle of trying things because I never know what is truly a good tip and what is just some old myth. Can you help me separate fact from fiction? Here's my list of things I've heard about skin care, can you please let me know which ones are true and which ones aren't? Thanks!
1. Putting milk on your face can reduce the amount of acne
2. Standing over a pot of boiling water for 10 or 15 minutes cleans your pores
3. Putting rubbing alcohol on your zits makes your face produce more oil
4. Whipped egg whites make a great facial
5. Putting lemon juice on zits clears them up faster
6. You shouldn't touch your face with your hands because it causes more zits
So, which are true and which aren't? And please, if you have ANY more tips for preventing/clearing ance or ANY skin care tips in general feel free to leave them! Thanks :)

1. Never heard that one
2. Steam opens your pores, not necessarily cleans them
3. True - alcohol can actually make skin produce more oil to compensate for loss of moisture.
4. Not sure about whipped egg whites, but I have used a whole raw egg...just smooth it over your face, let set for 10-15 minutes and rinse well.
5. Never heard that one.
6. TRUE...if you have acne you shouldn't touch pimples...it can make them worse. Also, if you have a pimple under the skin, it's best to massage it (with CLEAN hands) gently instead of trying to squeeze it out the top. It will usually break up and dissolve in 2-3 days.
Have you tried ProActiv? It is awesome stuff! I use it everyday...the only stuff I use....and be sure to use a good makeup (if you wear it).
Some people think that not moisturizing will help if they have oily skin...but you should moisturize no matter what! Very important part of skin care....

I have heard about #1
#2 I use myself
#3 don't use alcohol-it will dry out your skin
#4 I've heard of
#5 use myself, then put lemon juice on my skin, rinse & use an oatmeal pack on my face---its because of the citric acid, which "eats" thru your layers of skin
#6 true-only if your hands are dirty though-because the dirt wipes off on your face which can clog your pores causing zits.
I also really love Neutrogena blemish free/wrinkle free cleanser.

#2 is true - the steam opens the pores and steam also is a great cleanser, #4 is true - but it can be very drying, #6 is true - you have a lot of oil and dirt on your hands
Try Burt's bee's orange essence face wash... I love it, I'm totally posting it on everyone's skin care questions! Lol. I swear though it saved my skin.

relies upon on how the fiction is provided. yet yeah my innovations has barriers. each now and then fictions can grow to be a certainty, the place as some data have been derived from fictional actuality. My innovations hurts!!^_^
