What is the best 'home remedy' acne treatment?

Question

I of course have my daily skin regimen: cleanser, toner, moisturizer. But sometimes I get one or more rather unsightly pimples that I'd prefer to tone down before facing the general public the next day. So what are some household things you've found to work for you?

I use pure aloe. I have an aloe plant in front of my house and every night before bed I break off a leaf, slice off the thorny sides and then cut it so that the broadest part of the inside of the leaf is exposed. I smear the aloe gel directly onto my face and by morning I see a noticeable improvement. It doesn't smell good but having clear skin outweighs the bad odor (besides, the unpleasant odor only lasts maybe 5 minutes, tops). Just make sure you let the aloe dry before actually going to bed so that your pillow doesn't get messed up. If you have active acne, you will feel a slight burning sensation but it isn't terrible. As the aloe dries, it will make your skin feel tight (like an egg feels, if you've ever put egg white on your face). However, by morning, your skin won't have that "tight" feeling but it will look A LOT clearer. I have mild acne and use aloe nightly. If you have more severe acne, try using it in the a.m. and in the p.m. for faster results. Over time, the aloe will also help reduce any skin discoloration you may have that was caused by old acne. I have tried other natural acne treatments as well as prescription acne meds but aloe has been the best ever. I don't recommend using any kind of processed aloe (even bottles that say "100% aloe vera". You want it go directly from the plant to your face.

This is A cheap but wonderful way to clear it all up. I am 47, since highschool, I cleaned my face with Listerine, twice a day. Morning and night. Recently my daughter (18) asked me to order Proactive as she had her monthly breakout. I told her before I did, to at least try this and within a week her face would be perfectly clear. The next day she came to me and said look, it worked almost over night. the trick is ALWAYS make sure you keep you hands away from your face as the carry more germs and dirty then you can imagine. Take a cottonball and Listerine. Clean you face. Bacteria is the main cause of breakouts and with Listerine being antiseptic, it cleans the bacteria away. Use if over your nose and forehead area at least twice. You'll need more than one cottonball as you won't believe the dirt that comes off your face. At first you might feel tingling, but your face will feel clean and fresh when finished. Just try it at least a week before spend big bucks for market products.

Depending on your skin type, here are some great masks to try. For oily skin use some plain Milk of Magnesia, rub it on and let dry, then rinse with lukewarm water. It absorbs oil wonderfully!

For Normal/combination skin mix one egg and 1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal and a teaspoon olive oil until smooth. Spread on your face and leave 15 min then rinse.

For dry skin, mix one egg yolk, one teaspoon honey and a teaspoon olive oil and some vitamin E oil if you have it. Smooth on and leave on for 15 min. , rinse in lukewarm water and pat dry. If your skin is a bit dry you can put a dab or two of either olive oil, or any other light oil, or plain crisco if you want something heavier, on your moist skin after washing or a mask and your face is set without the $$ some people spend for the same look.

Answer 9

Use white toothpaste @ night to help dry out. Use Visene (the stuff for red eyes) to take out the red in the pimples. Don't pop/scratch/pick you can get scars & or premanent "holes" in your skin!!
