Easy Non-Toxic Acne Remedies
Here are a couple of non-toxic, relatively inexpensive acne remedies to try:
Oatmeal is very dry and absorbs oil from the skin. Make a thick paste from oatmeal and water then apply to the face in the morning and evening. Allow the paste to stay on face for 10 to 20 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
Tomatoes work wonders for oily skin as well. After mashing a ripe tomato drain the juice on paper towels for a few minutes. Now take the tomato pieces and pat them onto the face, while lying back, and leave for fifteen to twenty minutes. Rinse with warm water. Do this treatment once daily, preferably in the morning.
Another effective facial mask for those with oily skin is made from honey and apples. After grating the apple into a fine pulp mix in four tablespoons of honey and apply to face for ten minutes. Or beat an egg white until stiff and add a few drops of witch hazel and a few drops of lemon juice. Spread the mixture over the face and leave for fifteen minutes. Rinse well with barely warm water.
Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to affected areas at bedtime; let stand overnight; repeat every night for a week. This will remove blackheads.
Mix 10 grams juice of white onions with 5 grams honey and 1 gram rock salt and apply on pimples.
Wash your face thrice a day and apply calamine lotion on the pimples.
Apply a paste made out of ground mint leaves on the pimples and leave overnight. This will ease the pimples and clear other blemishes also.
Any eye drops with the redness reliever, tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, applied to individual blemishes with a cotton swab helps to reduce the redness of the blemish so it is less noticeable!
With a cotton ball, apply a few drops of tea tree essential oil to affected areas. This oil has antibacterial properties.
Avoid stress!
If any of these remedies work consult a dermatologist.

I hear that if you cruch 4-5 coated asprins,and add a litttle bit of water to make a paste..you can use it as a mask for 10 minutes,and it leaves your skin Very Soft.I did it once,and it was very soft.Dont do it more than 3 times a week.I will dry your skin.Other than that i have found that the less products i put on my face the healthier it is.I would stick to a Deep cleasing cleanser followed up with a good toner/Moisturizer,and Exfoliate at least 2-3 times a week.Depending on your skin type.Drinking plenty of water is aslo GREAT for the entire body!!

This is the best honey facial mask recipe!!! It works incredibly well :D

Raw honey works incredibly well because not only is it natural, but it has anti-bacterial properties that works just as good and probably better than any lab-made cream in the market. I Highly recommend honey facial masks.
Ewwwwwwwww?

Try using a very warm (hot wash cloth)
heat in micro and apply to your face on/off repeat.
Then use a gentle soap (ivory/dove)
and peroxide or vinegar.
Wash face twice a day and look in to a regime that works for you. Wash, toner, cream (acne medicine).

Get some boiling hot water in a bowl, put a towel over your head, put your head over the bowl of hot water. It's free and will steam your face and help you or you can try toothpaste. I like to steam my face it feel nice and look fresh after.

any thing that will dry your skin i think will help,along with diet,not trying to pop em:) and washing your face or where ever they are ,alot. stress causes them too. they do have prescriptions that work alot of the time now.---side note, my brother used to draw a bulls eye in the foggy mirror after a shower and try to hit the middle of the target-- if he had a zit that he popped--then he'd yell bulls eye all excited if he hit center,so try that game you might start liking zits,he did:)
