this is going to sound really GROSS and disgusting, but my mom read an article the other night that says if you take your URINE and dab some on your face, it will help to clear up acne. Do you think it's worth trying? I think it's gross, but what do you think?

No - I haven't heard of that one. I have heard peeing on your feet kills athlete's foot.
For an at home spot treatment, try this instead: A thin layer of Milk of Magnesia. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse off w/ tepid water. Absorbs oil & tightens pores.
Others swear by the aspirin mask or toner. You can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask.
Or use one of these variations to make a cleanser or mask:
Mix half a teaspoon of crushed tablets with aloe vera gel.
Mix 6 aspirin tablets with a little aloe to make a mask.
Use about 6 uncoated tablets, witch hazel, tee trea oil, and aloe to make a thin paste.

I have heard of that as old remedy and you are suppose to use the urine that you go at the first first of the day.I have never tried that because there are many other less disgusting ways to take care of Acne. lol. I use a facial cleanser everyday. This helps to keep the skin clean and fresh. Then if I do get a pimple I use Clearisil Acne Meciation. It's only 5 bucks and you apply it right over the pimple and it dries it up. This works for me I have no pimples and clear skin!

Is your mom at all abusive? If you want to get rid of acne, wash your face when you wake up and when you get ready for bed, and stick to one facewash. In the morning, if you have really dry skin, use a moisturizer. If your skin gets oily try a toner.
Good luck, and don't try the urine thing, that is unsanitary. All the toxins in your body are filtered out then leave your body as urine. Putting those toxins on your face is not healthy and will only make you break out even more.
I don't think I really believe you about the urine thing, but it is a good way to get people's atttention to answer your question.

This is an antique recipe from the days before you could run up to CVS and buy astringents and alcohols. Urine was used for a lot of things back then as it was the only source of astringents available. It was used to cure zits, lighten freckles, treat wool to give it a white color and even bleach leather white.
It does work, however there are a few things that need to be done first. Fresh urine is NOT the correct thing to use. It would need to be boiled, and then left to sit for about 10 days. 10 days of stinking nasty urine.... it's nasty.
The reason it worked was that it, like any alcohol, dried oily skin. Just use commercial rubbing alcohol. Your nose will thank you.

No okay beside the fact that putting urine on your face is digusting that would be WORSE for your face that would be putting all the chemicals and waste and things that are in your body that coming through from down there that is all up in your self on your face. SHE WANTED SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT! I mean seriously if it is that bad then go to proactive it owrks wonders it does dry out your face but just get lotion and apply that on your face. Seriously wouldnt you rather have a dry face than urine on your face.

Don't do that, there could be bacteria in your urine and it'll affect your skin.
I have really oilly skin, and I wash with plain soap and water three times a day. Once a week, I mix brown sugar with milk to make a paste that minimizes your pores. It works for me because my skin is really clear now.

Ewww i would rather suffer with pimples.
Try Biore, Clearasil, Neutrogena, or Apricot scrub you can get any of those at wal-mart.
I had pimples and i started using Clinique Acne cleanser, night gel, and daily protector and it has really helped clear my face. Good luck

I don't think you should do that, there are alot of toxins released in your urine and that is why urine is released from your body. There are alot of crazy ideas to get rid of acne but most of them don't really work. If you are really stessed about your acne try proactiv it does work.

No, don't do that to yourself! Just buy some products MEANT to clear up acne...your own urine is not meant for that, it's all the toxins in your body.
